Art Jewelers Offers Endless Possibilities With New Engraver & Welder<\/h2>\n

The elves in Santa\u2019s workshop have nothing on the Meadows family at Art Jewelers. The Woodstock jewelers have been busy expanding and increasing their inventory, just in time for Christmas. Thanks to the addition of a new laser engraver and arc welder, the gift ideas are endless. Engraved items \u2014 such as Christmas ornaments, bracelets, pendants, charms and rings \u2014 are some of the newest choices available for shoppers.<\/p>\n

The Meadows family, led by patriarch Dave, continuously works to update the showroom and stay on top of the latest trends in the industry. Jewelry options for Christmas gifts include custom-designed pieces, an assortment of chains and a collection of rings that allows the customer to mix bands and stones in creating a look they love.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New?<\/h3>\n

\u2022 The laser engraver.<\/strong>
\nThe customer\u2019s imagination is the only limit to the variety of gift ideas the engraver can create. Andrew McDeermond, husband of Dave\u2019s daughter Angelica, can take fingerprints and handwriting, and create custom pieces for any occasion. Often customers request that the handwriting of their deceased loved one is preserved in some way.<\/p>\n

Fingerprints, handprints and footprints often are requested by moms. Andrew recalled a time when he was able to capture the fingerprint from a military ID, and design pendants for the veteran\u2019s wife, to give their daughters.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The arc welder.<\/strong>
\nAnother recent addition is the arc welder, which makes it possible to weld a small area safely, used most often in forever bracelets. The bracelet can be fitted to the customer\u2019s wrist and welded together, without a clasp, on the spot, creating a piece of jewelry that never comes off. The chain options start at $99; gift cards and packages also are available for giving.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jewelry selections.<\/strong>
\nPopular among shoppers are classic diamond stud earrings, both mined and lab-grown. Diamonds-by-the-inch necklaces can be purchased in different lengths and carat weights, starting at $999. The jewelers can work with a customer to create a custom piece, or shoppers can try on different bands and jewels, for that perfect ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really love what we do and take pride in delivering quality, whether that\u2019s doing a great job on a repair, designing a custom piece or just being part of someone having a great shopping experience,\u201d Angelica said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t take shortcuts or try to sell you something you don\u2019t need,\u201d she said. \u201cWe love that jewelry is so sentimental, and we aim to make it last. We love that our customers share their stories and big moments with us, and continue to come back again and again. We love building relationships and community.\u201d<\/p>\n

All in the Family<\/h3>\n

Angelica grew up watching her father and grandfathers work side by side in the jewelry industry. She joined the business after high school, and now, 14 years later, her children come to the store and watch their father, Andrew, and grandfather, Dave, work side by side.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really cool legacy that has been built over generations, and it\u2019s an honor to be a part of it,\u201d she said. \u201cOur families\u2019 stories exist because of, and are interwoven with, our customers over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The store is family-owned and -operated, so there\u2019s no pressure to buy, because there are no commissions. Shopping is relaxed and low-key. Prices are marked clearly in the display cases, so there
\nis no sticker shock, and customers don\u2019t have to ask about the prices.<\/p>\n

Stop in with your wish list \u2014 or ask to have your list kept on file. Whether you want to spend a little extra on a gift for your spouse, or are looking to find an affordable piece of jewelry that you can pick up for family members, friends or teachers, gifts are available from less than $50.<\/p>\n
