We're B-a-a-a-c-k!

>


Yes we are back. We know it's been a long time since we made an entry in the blog, but much has been happening and us kids at Belenky Brothers have been enormously busy. Just to catch you up quickly. We've been traveling in search of even more rare and exotic gemstones. The gorgeous gemstone above is an exotic Mozambique Tourmaline. Also we recently amassed several strands of exquisitely matched emerald beads for necklaces. It is rare to find emeralds of this quality and so evenly matched as well. When gems of this magnitude reach us the excitement is enormous. The quest is a large part of the equation, but the result, when unprecedented, as these beautiful strands were, is hugely fufilling.

Custom design work has become an even larger percentage of our work. We have recently learned from a new client who works for one of the most prestigious jewelry firms in the world, that, as she put it..."everyone at work knows if you want something finely and uniquely designed you go downtown to Belenky Brothers." Wow! That was one of the best compliments we have ever received. Consequently our design department has been working non-stop.

Seth and Lucette will be leaving shortly for the largest jewelry exhibition in America. Many of our clients have given us 'wish lists' for them to obtain. Each year the list grows and gets larger, and even more challenging. Seth and Lucette tell us they actually enjoy shopping the shows even more when they have special requests. Since our reputation for obtaining rare gemstones has grown, the search for these gems has become fascinating. No request is ever turned down. It's fascinating that new mines with never before seen stones are often being unearthed. This makes the colored gemstone field extraordinarily interesting. Using unusual color combinations is making our designs the talk of the town.

And of course, the excitement at work and at home is the birth of David and Lucette's first grandchild, and Seth's niece. Riley Riva Bloomgarden was born April 21, 2007. She's the first girl born to the family in many, many years. It is truly amazing the overwhelming joy a newborn brings!
