Ron Gives Guys Some Advice in Enagagement 101 Video

Filed under: Jewelry,Press — Tags: engagement 101, engagement ring advice, engagement rings, lieberfarb, ron samuelson — Ron @ 10:43 am

I had the pleasure of being in a video out at the JCK Las Vegas Show shot by Engagement 101 Magazine. Also featured in this video was my friend Myriam Gumuchian-Schreiber, president of Gumuchian – manufacturers of some unbelievable jewelry.

I was asked to give my opinion on what guys should do when buying an engagement ring. The guy before me says to “Man Up” – I’m ok with that, we’ve said that around here as well. I put it a little more gently so take a look at about 5.09 minutes in and you ‘ll see! This video was shot at the Lieberfarb booth, one of our best bridal lines:

Employee Profile – Cara Svingos

Filed under: Team Samuelson's — Tags: employees, engagement rings, favorite jewelry, finding the right ring, UMBC — cara @ 1:07 pm

Greetings Everyone!

My name is Cara Svingos. I am a Sales Associate at Samuelson’s Diamonds. I am currently attending the University of Maryland Baltimore County to receive my Bachelors degree in Social Work. You might be wondering why a Social Work student would be interested in diamonds. Aside from my love of all things sparkling and beautiful, it is my passion for communicating with and helping people that has carried over into my role at Samuelson’s Diamonds. About a year and a half ago I joined the Samuelson’s Diamonds team after a year working for Gordon’s Jewelers. As Gordon’s was about to close the store I was working in, I was fortunate when my manager told me about a great jewelry store in downtown Baltimore that was looking for a salesperson for their growing business. In addition to staying in the industry, coming to Samuelson’s has exposed me to a much higher level and quality of products and service. Where I once sold mostly simple fashion jewelry, I now get to play with big diamonds everyday! Helping people with their engagement ring search is absolutely invigorating. When a guy comes in to find the perfect stone for the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, I am so happy to assist!

What’s my favorite diamond cut? Well, round of course. Traditional and classic. And despite the large popularity in white gold my favorite mounting is actually a yellow gold cathedral. So, please ask for me, email me or hit me up on Facebook if you’re coming down to look at diamonds or just need a gift for that someone special in your life. I’m here to help!

Engagement Stories: Jon and Megan

Filed under: Jewelry,Local News,Proposal Stories — Tags: diamonds, engagement, engagement rings, engagement stories, sleigh rides, Stowe Vermont, white gold — Ron @ 1:10 pm

We love selling engagement rings and hearing about the unique ways our customers propose. What makes this one even more special is that these customers are personal friends of mine. After Jon made the move I got this text:

The deed was done on a one horse open sleigh ride in Stowe, Vermont. It was snowing and beautiful. Thanks so much. She LOVES the ring.

And then Megan sent over these great pictures with a note:

Ron – I just wanted to say thank you for helping Jon put together such a beautiful engagement ring for me! He proposed to me yesterday on a horse-drawn snowy sleigh ride through the Vermont forest.

Cute!

The Ring! (A round brilliant in a four prong white gold setting)

This is why I love my job. Congrats to my good friends Jon and Megan! Wishing you many years of health and happiness!

Samuelson’s Diamonds Featured in Engagement 101 Magazine

Filed under: Press — Tags: baltimore ravens, brick-and-mortar, buyer confidence, diamond rings, diamonds, engagement, engagement rings, engagement101mag, established jeweler, ravens — diamondadmin @ 4:36 pm

JANUARY 10, 2010: Samuelson’s Diamonds (www.baltimorediamonds.com) Baltimore’s premier downtown diamond destination, was featured in Engagement 101 Magazine’s article, “Guy’s Guide”:

Guys in Baltimore have it made. Stop by Samuelson’s Diamonds, and you don’t even have to miss a moment of the big game–if the Ravens are playing, rest assured the game will be on. Owner Ron Samuelson is a third-generation jeweler running his family’s business, first established in 1922. With the business in his blood and decades of experience, he knows that guys don’t need any additional pressure making their purchase decision. Samuelson believes that a buyer should “deal with real people they’re confident in” and “buy from an established jeweler.” If for some reason you need to buy online, he suggests that you “buy from an outlet that also has a brick-and-mortar presence. Work with a company that will still be around in five years.” If you’re nowhere near Baltimore, Samuelson can help you remotely; visit his website to contact him: www.samuelsonsdiamonds.com [now www.baltimorediamonds.com.]

Samuelson’s Diamonds continues its commitment to be Baltimore’s best, most straightforward diamond dealer and maintain a low-pressure environment for people looking to get engaged.

The original article is from Engagement 101 Magazine 2010 (no. 5) and is entitled “Guy’s Guide” A pdf excerpt is available here.

Update on Testimonials: What Did You Think of Your Engagement Ring?

Filed under: Jewelry,Testimonials — Tags: customer service, diamonds, engagement rings, professional service, satisfied customers, testimonials — diamondadmin @ 4:23 pm

Wedding Set
In case you hadn’t noticed, with the last redesign our Testimonials section is no longer in the main menu. This doesn’t mean we have lost the feature, but it now has moved to the left side of most pages. If you click the testimonial you’ll see the updated list of testimonials – which of course, are updated as frequently as we get them.

We’ve been doing a lot of good work selling engagement rings lately, right here in Baltimore (people don’t mind driving in from Washington DC or the rest of Maryland, either) and it seems that our customers have been noticing! Here are just a few of people’s most recent comments about our services:

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the help and diamond knowledge you shared with me Ron. Being a first time engagement ring purchaser at 46 years of age I was lost! Not only did I get exactly what I wanted by deciding the diamond and setting separately but I made the love of my life happy!!! Thanks Ron.

Brian

Dear Ron,

You guys seem to have a great group of people working there in the store. I do like the casual (non stuck up) type of people to work with when shopping. Was an easy trip up and easy trip back….yes, looking forward to receiving the diamond ring on Tuesday.

Thank you now,

Gary

Hi Ron,

The diamond arrived mid-morning. Hope to get to my jeweler’s tomorrow to have set. It is beautiful and to my eyes a great match for the other stone. Thank you for being so professional in doing the deal with me. I will be contacting you soon because another close friend wants me to pick out a larger diamond for them.

Bobbie

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for dropping the ring off to Myra. Time has been at a premium and your willingness to bring my wedding band this way was a great help.
Thank you. Best wishes for the New Year!

Stan

Thanks to our customers for being so generous with their praise! We hope to keep giving you the best service for many years to come!

If you’ve bought your diamond engagement ring (or other jewelry) from us, please comment because we’d love to hear from you!

Why We Love Selling Engagement Rings

Filed under: Jewelry,News,Proposal Stories — Tags: bridal, buzzard's rock, engagement, engagement rings, marriage, patapsco valley, proposal ideas, testimonials, wedding — Ron @ 3:26 pm

We love to hear engagement stories and proposal ideas. It’s what makes our job so gratifying. Sometimes, we sell a ring and never hear about it again. Other times, we hear how much our customers love their diamond.

And every once in awhile, we get a story like this:

Hi Ron,

I proposed to my girlfriend on Sunday the 8th, and she said yes without hesitation! We went out on a mountain bike ride at Patapsco Valley State Park, down near Elkridge. Took her up to the scenic outlook at Buzzards Rock, and asked her there. And of course, she loves the ring.

Dan included some pictures he’d taken of the event on flickr. We asked him if we could use them and he said:

You can use them on your Facebook or blog posts, just don’t edit them in any way other than resizing. Oh, and her name is Christy, just FYI. Thanks.

Dan

So without further ado we present the photos, unedited as Dan asked.

Nice Stone!

Let’s give them a hand!

Congratulations to Dan and Christy! We wish the best for them and their future marriage! Please comment and share your proposal story. Click here to see some more on our facebook diamonds fan page!
