WHAT MAKES DIAMOND JEWELRY SO VALUABLE
Simply put, diamonds have acquired their value as a result of their multifaceted composition. The hardest natural substance and the simplest of all the gemstones, diamonds consist of 99.95% pure crystallized carbon. The crystallization begins far beneath the earth's surface among a mixture of liquids, gases, and crystals, and can, in fact, take 1 to 3 billion years to form - more than two-thirds the age of the earth itself. It is how the diamond is formed along with its brilliant sparkle and fire that makes fine diamond jewelry the quintessential symbol of timeless, enduring love.

WHEN BUYING FINE DIAMOND JEWELRY USA A CRITICAL EYE
When you're shopping for an emerald cut diamond engagement ring or a genuine diamond stud earring, clarity, color, carat weight, and shape are the four most important characteristics to consider before you buy. While clarity focuses on the absence or presence of inclusions inside or blemishes on the surface of the diamond, color refers to whether trances of yellow, brown, or gray are apparent. Both the carat weight and shape are the easiest and the most tangible factors for the consumer to compare from store to store. Common diamond shapes include round brilliant, emerald, square, princess, marquise, oval, pear, radiant, and ascher, whereas carat weight is limited only to your budget.

Many of the flaws that exist in jewelry grade diamonds cannot be seen without looking at them through a microscope or jeweler's magnifying loupe.

DESUMMA AND WEXLER IS YOUR ONLINE AND OFFLINE SOURCE FOR FINE JEWELRY
Looking for a birthday, anniversary, or holiday gift that is guaranteed to please? Unlike flowers, candy, or clothing, jewelry is a gift that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. In fact, it is a gift that keeps giving when jewelry is passed on as heirlooms to relatives or close friends. But, how do you know what type of jewelry is best, or how to find the perfect piece for that special someone's taste? To find the perfect match, browse our online selection of men's and women's jewelry or shop at our store, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the heart of Jewelers' Row.

Men today are expressing the same desire as women to show their identity to the world through jewelry. Consequently, designers and retailers, such as DeSumma and Wexler, are devoting more time, attention, and store space to men's jewelry than ever before. Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, men are increasingly at ease and confident enough to complement a watch with a bracelet, necklace, or ring. As it becomes more socially acceptable for men to wear more varied forms of jewelry, DeSumma and Wexler Fine Jewelers is at the forefront of the industry in providing men with as many options as possible to choose from.

Today's jewelry fashions for both men and women are dynamic and diverse. Some trends bring back classics in a big way, while others are just now entering the scene. Traditional pearl and diamond necklaces are taking on a new look as gold and sterling silver journey necklaces and chunky beaded necklaces. Pendants have always been a versatile choice in fine jewelry because one can wear it with a favorite chain, or on a leather or silk cord. Mother and child, heart, and cross pendants have been long-time favorites, but diamond circle pendants have recently been peeking people's interest.

If you're not ready to pop the question with a diamond engagement ring or seal the deal with a diamond wedding ring, consider a gold or silver promise ring with pearls or birthstones. Three-stone anniversary rings representing the past, present, and future, as well as fun right hand rings are quickly becoming a must have. While diamond stud, pearl, and gold hoop earrings remain favorites, chandelier earrings that resemble the romantic Victorian era are the latest style. Charm bracelets and diamond tennis bracelets are always popular, but both have been taken to the next level as new designs are being introduced every so often.

The necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings, earrings, and charms at DeSumma and Wexler Fine Jewelers are available in a wide range of prices and varieties of metals and gemstones so you can be sure to find one that suits their taste and your budget. If, for some reason, you can't seem to find what you're looking for, see custom fine jewelry or design your own diamond jewelry for information on handcrafted pieces that offer a personalized look and feel. Whatever style, color, or piece you choose, a gift of jewelry becomes a precious treasure that will be loved for the sentiment behind it. With fine jewelry from DeSumma and Wexler, you can't go wrong.

We encourage you to browse our selection or visit our fine jewelry store located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the heart of historic Jewelers' Row.

POCKET WATCHES HAVE ENDURED THE TEST OF TIME
Pocket watches were first developed in the 16th century and were considered to be the first timepieces that the public could own. Worn by only the rich, pocket watches became a sign of status, authority, and wealth. Today, DeSumma and Wexler Fine Jewelers offers covered and opened pocket watches in stainless steel or gold tone to those that appreciate a timeless look. Some are available in 18k yellow gold. Our entire line of pocket watches come with the scratch resistant sapphire crystal and a watch fob, which is the chain linked to the pocket watch.

Wristwatches Have Become a Staple in Everyone's Jewelry Collection
Invented at the end of the 19th century as an accessory for upper echelon women, the wristwatch didn't achieve popularity as a men's accessory until the First World War. Louis Cartier created a leather-band wristwatch first for his friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, and later distributed them to other men, particularly officers of war. On the battlefield, officers found wristwatches to be a much more efficient way to tell time as opposed to pocket watches. When the war ended, American and European officers were allowed to keep their wristwatches, which helped to popularize the items among the middle-class Western culture.

Today, wristwatches have taken on a new light. The wristwatch has become a staple in both men's and women's wardrobes and has become the must-have item that distinguishes a particular style. Watches have come a long way from strictly being an effective way to tell time, now they serve as a piece of fine jewelry that completes an overall look and that makes a statement. Water proof, scratch resistance, stop watch capability, day/month display, are just some of the features that are available for contemporary designer styles.

Given as a gift or kept for oneself, men's and women's pocket watches and wristwatches from DeSumma and Wexler Fine Jewelers are of the highest quality and are guaranteed to last day to day, year to year.

1. Ask the jeweler behind the counter what his or her credentials are.
Do they have any gemological training or are they just order takers?

2. Never buy a diamond on the basis of a certificate alone.
There are dozens of grading laboratories, but many differ as far as grading standards go. The same diamond can get 2 very different grades depending on which laboratory does the evaluation. Be sure that the jeweler provides a written guarantee that allows you to have the diamond checked by a competent third party and offers a full refund if you find that your diamond is not as it was represented to be.
(Click here for our guarantee.)

3. Walk out of any store that offers a phony discount.
If a store offers a 50% discount ask yourself "50% off of what?" Who would ever shop at this store when they aren't having a sale?

4. Always buy your diamond from a reputable establishment where you can ask questions face to face with a real person.
There are literally thousands of grading variables, you need to see and compare diamonds side by side and to have a professional there with you to explain those variables.

5. Ask if the jeweler offers "Interest Free Financing".
Take advantage of our Interest Free Financing! We offer many different purchase options, with up to 12 months same as cash! (for qualified individuals) Please contact us or stop in for details!

6. Beware of jewelers that ask you to leave a deposit on a diamond when you are not ready to buy.
A professional jeweler that offers you a great value today will offer you the same great value tomorrow.

7. Ask about a return policy.
You should be able to get a full refund within a given amount of time, with no questions asked from a reputable jeweler.

8. Never buy a diamond from a so called "wholesaler".
A wholesaler doesn't sell to just anyone without making a profit. Many consumers have been burned buying a diamond from a "wholesaler" on a "cash only" basis only to find that they bought a diamond that was not what it was represented to be and were left with little or no recourse.

9. Don't buy a diamond as an investment.
You will not profit by selling a diamond a year or two after you purchased it, but over the years it will hold its value. Remember, you are investing in your relationship, not to realize a profit.

10. HAVE FUN! This is a lifetime purchase.
Come and visit DeSumma and Wexler Jewelers. We give the best value, selection and service that Jewelers Row has to offer, all in a friendly and relaxed environment. You'll be glad you did.
