Hut if you are like most laymen, how do you know what to net, or what you are getting? Few things are as misunderstood to purchasers as precious gems.

Therefore, your first step must lie to a reliable jeweler. Here, too, you will find a much broader selec tion than elsewhere. In our store, there is no rush about buying. We take the time to fully and accu rately explain the nuances of the gem you select. Also, it Is possible for us to obtain exactly what you are looking for if we do not huve it in stock at the moment. This is especially true of large or unusual pieces which are customarily sent on order to jewelers requesting a specific item. It is virtually impos sible today for a jeweler of any size to carry every gem or jewelry design that may be wunted. Through our gemological train ing, you will find us to bo an in valuable consultant in your pur chase. For example, we know why diamonds or certain colored gents look better in one type of setting than another. We consider not only style — what is fashionable — hut what is best for you, for your per sonality, and your shape of hand. Added to this is the prestige of having purchased in a fine, re spected establishment, as uttested by our membership in The Ameri-. can Gem Society. JEWELRY 1027 Willamntle 345-0354
