V A L U E T H E M E MO R I E S I was raised on a farm in Illinois and my husband was raised on a farm in Iowa. In the 1960’s, my parents operated a fruit and vegetable stand to earn extra money. I guess that’s where I inherited my love of retail (but now it’s about selling carats instead of carrots). My husband Dennis harvested watermelons by hand with his sisters. He didn’t much enjoy the back-breaking work, but that never stopped him. Even today he continues to grow a large garden and enjoys sharing fresh vegetables with staff and customers. As many gardeners can attest, it’s really the taste of fresh picked tomatoes that makes it all worthwhile. The last two years has taught all of us the value of family and slowing down to enjoy life. In my case, I often to retreat to my farm property just north of Kansas City to enjoy the quiet. We have a pond where my grandchildren are learning to fish, and a small creek provides idyllic scenery for hikes. I write this because as I get older, I find myself longing for the memories and activities from my younger years. I am fortunate to work alongside my family and many of our staff have been with me for over 30 years. I think this is one reason I love coming to work each day — every day reminds me of beautiful memories. I love having the opportunity to sell (and repair) jewelry that is so impactful and provides such timeless memories for people. Being able to help create memories with gifts of jewelry is such an honor and I thank each of you reading this for trusting us with this.
Sincerely,
Carol Meierotto
