ICON Jewel's Famed Hollywood Jeweler Talks Diamonds in Uncertain Times
The Californer/10087926

HOUSTON - Californer -- Being a jeweler during these times has brought us back to a more personal experience. Our transactions are more emotional, with a stronger sentimental reason to buy jewelry, whether that be an engagement, an anniversary, a birthday, or even not killing each other during quarantine, or simply "I'm celebrating our survival through these troubling times."

As a Private jeweler, we specialize in handling High Net Worth Individuals by way of sourcing the finest pieces available in the marketplace, yet doing so within a heightened level of privacy, understanding that today's society has an acute sensitivity to identity and privacy. ICON does not have a storefront, we believe that because we prefer to conduct business at the convenience of our client in their home or office, it allows us to learn a little more about our clients true "inner self."

With the worlds current situation, how I personally view shopping in "store" idea? Well, why should our clients pay exorbitant prices for fantastic jewels simply because they are indirectly paying for the "brick and mortar rent."  We find the personal private setting to be safer.  The ICON Family is more than ever committed to playing its part to fight against the spread of this virus, and  these erratic times. Its our conviction and  duty to act to minimize risk  for our teams, partners, and clients.
