Dream Machines

In March 2009, Eric Riddlespurger, our master jeweler, was featured in an article for Modern Jeweler magazine. It’s a nationwide trade magazine that focuses on the lastest jewelry trends and new products for jewelers. They did an article on special jewelers tools and technologies that they counldn’t live without. Eric is featured in a few places, but most specifically in the CAD and Mill sections. If you scroll down, on the right-hand side, you can see the two pictures of Eric that they used; one with the computer and the other at the milling machine. We also have a copy of the magazine at the shop. Here is the link for the article. Enjoy!

Our not-so-traditional store greeters…

For those of you who have visited our store within the last three years, I’m sure you’ve met our wonderful (and furry) greeters. If not, it’s definitely worth a visit. Caleb, 3, who is the black male and Maizy, 20 months, the bronze female are both Newfies and come to work everyday. They are half brother and sister, sharing the same fathers, but different mothers. They really are a pleasure to have around the shop. Caleb and Maizy love people and the constant attention. They hangout behind the counters and get very eager to say hello when someone rings the bell. Occasionally, they’ll play around with each other or toys and chew on their bones; but most of the time they lounge around and sleep…imitating breathing carpets.
Between the two of them, they’re 250-plus-pounds of pure Newfie. They do take up a good amount of space, especially when they’re stretched out together. Every now and then we get tripped, but you just have to learn how to maneuver around them. They also ride to work in the back of a little Honda Civic, it is quite a sight. Caleb and Maizy really are an entertaining duo. In January, they were featured in a little blurb in Baltimore Magazine about dogs that come to work with their owners. Stop by some time to say hi, they love the attention…believe me. Click here for the article.
