A Customer’s Thank You to ICD Jewelry

by

Dear ICD,

I wasn’t sure what to anticipate. I spilled all my jewelry onto a long table in the intimacy of my home. Varda began sifting, sorting and making piles in a process that came so naturally to her. I was captivated by her intense concentration–wondering where this assessment and  reinvention could go. Like  a magician–but a jeweler–Varda began to imagine transforming my baubles. Based upon my lifestyle, she felt I lacked dramatic hanging earrings. In an instant,  she configured my small simple diamond hoop earring with an art deco diamond and pearl pin. She suggested cutting the pin in half and  attaching the halves to the hoop. Suddenly, I could envision these beyond gorgeous and significant hanging gems. Varda suggested I combine different strands and pearls  to create a smashing  significant bracelet. A bracelet from years back and too cutesy for now was transformed onto three pair of precious earrings for my Granddaughters. I feel that the renewal yielded me a whole new and unique wardrobe of precious pieces. Varda honored the sentimentality of my treasures and combined them with  her incredible eye and talent. With no expense incurred, my whole experience was a giant gift. Thank you Varda for sharing your expertise and chic sense of style while enhancing my precious collection.

Sincerely, Wendy

Fall in love with your jewels again this holiday season.

Make an appointment with Varda and receive a free $100 jewelry facelift to sparkle in time for the holidays. Looking forward to seeing you.
Varda and the ICD staff.
