Congratulations to Vera House the winner of our Holiday Charity drawing. Their name was drawn from a pool of 50 entries submitted by customers through 12/31/2011. We received a lovely thank you for the $500.00 donation from Randi Bregman, Executive Director. Diana's is proud to offer support to this worthwhile organization and plans on making this an annual drawing.

Have you ever heard of purple spinel, purple sapphire or blue spinel? These natural, untreated gems come straight from the mine in Sri Lanka to us and are very vibrant and bright. The adjacent photo shows a beautiful engagement ring with a purple spinel center. It is stunning!

Did you know the Sir Walter Scott was responsible for the legend that opals bring bad luck? Queen Victoria loved opals and quickly remedied that rumor by giving her 5 daughters all opals!
