Here's another thing that caught my eye when I was <a href="http://blog.freshmans.com/2012/11/why-wait-for-christmas-to-open-up-some.html" target="_blank">sneaking into gifts early</a>.

Last week <a href="http://blog.freshmans.com/2012/11/why-wait-for-christmas-to-open-up-some.html" target="_blank">you caught me sneaking a look inside holiday packages</a>. I guess it's time to share what I've found. These sterling silver drop earrings caught my eye first thing. For only $60 they'd make a great gift, but I won't tell if you kept them for yourself.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2476833011397355786.post-29789217020871735592012-11-28T13:01:00.002-07:002012-11-28T13:01:45.261-07:00Speaking of Early Gifts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sometimes it's okay to open up your present's early right? How about if you plan on sharing? We just opened up a new shipment of sterling jewelry that starts at only $50.

Wow!! It's been a long time since I've posted here. To be honest I've been a little better at posting over at our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Freshmans1895" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> as well as on <a href="http://twitter.com/freshmans1895" target="_blank">twitter</a>. I can change!! I swear I'll be better since the holidays are coming and I'll have more time...or something.<br />
<br />
We had a great chance to go on a hardhat tour of the Public Safety Building that is under construction next door to us. I snapped a few pictures because really, who doesn't want to see Charles and Claudia dressed up like the Village People?<br />

We have a pretty good party about to happen next door and we consider ourselves good sports. The Utah Arts Festival is kicking off next weekend (June 21-24) and we're continuing our tradition of letting our Facebook friends park after hours.<br />
<br />
Just like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Freshmans1895" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and you're free to park after 5:30pm Thursday and Friday, after 3pm on Saturday, and all day Sunday.<br />
<br />
All we ask is you post on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Freshmans1895" target="_blank">our wall</a> what your favorite thing at the Arts Festival was or tag us in a post saying thanks. That way we can see how many people used the lot. We'll also have a sign up so new people can add us and park there as well, so please pass it on.<br />

One of the shows I enjoy watching is a show on the Travel Channel called "Off Limits". On last weeks episode the show visited a gold mine in Colorado. My ears perked up when they mentioned the mine was the Cripple Creek/Victor mine in Colorado. As you may know, Freshmans was founded in Cripple Creek in 1895 before the family moved to Salt Lake City in 1928. It was fun to see how with new technologies the mine is once again producing. <a href="http://www.travelchannel.com/video/a-million-dollar-gold-button" target="_blank">This video clip</a> shows a 60 lb. gold button being poured, worth about $1.25 million. There was one tidbit in the full episode that I found very interesting. It takes over 200 dump trucks (like the huge ones at Kennecott) full of rock to produce enough ore to make one wedding band!<br />

<div> Freshmans has a unique position in the jewelry industry. We make custom jewelry pieces that we're very proud of, re-do family heirlooms to make them serviceable again, and sell tools and supplies to our collegues, students, and craft minded individuals. It is to that latter group that this will have some meaning. <br />
<br />
We have just gotten in a<a href="http://bit.ly/J95lgv" target="_blank"> new line of magnetic tumblers</a>. Magnetic tumblers excel at applying a shiny finish on jewelry. Because the tumbling pins are small, they're especially great at getting down into hard to reach areas. They can put a bright finish on cast crowns, as well as get into hand carved details. All you need to do is drop the pieces in, add some water and <a href="http://bit.ly/HWf4sX" target="_blank">special tumbling soap</a> and walk away. About an hour later your pieces are burnished to a shine and most times a light polish is all that's needed afterwards.<br />
<br />
These amazing machines were first made for production houses, large and expensive. We've had one in our shop for over a decade and it's indispensable. <a href="http://bit.ly/J95lgv" target="_blank">Finally, now they are available in a reasonable size, at a reasonable price.</a> Come on in and we'll be glad to show you what they can do.</div>Freshmanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13286013543451250955noreply@blogger.com0
