- Charlie,
I love the charm, got it today. Did you order another one when
you got mine by any chance? I can buy another today if you have
one. I showed it to one of the guys and he fell in love with
it. Let me know asap. Thanks again.

- Charlie,
- Many thanks! It worked perfectly.
We received the package on Monday morning
11:00 am (20 december)in perfect order. We didn't have to pay
for customs or
such.
- This means I can still use
it as a present for Christmas, which I was not
expecting (and therefore thought I was in trouble as I did not
like the
alternative present myself). Of course it now means I have a
challenge for
her birthday in January again, but hey that's life.
- If by any chance you find
earrings with tortoise (land-turtle) please drop
me a note I might be interested.
- Again many thanks and yes,
this way of shipping seems to work perfectly.
- Cheers,
MooS

- Charles,
- I got my order in Thursday's
mail. Thanks so much for the good service. If
my girlfriend likes the earrings I may want to order other items.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

- Thank you so much for being
on the Internet. My son is getting married on December 30 and
this will be a present for his bride. Being originally from Alexandria
VA, I have always worn a xxx pendant and I have given a xxx pendant
to my other two daughters-in-law and now I want to give one to
my youngest son's bride so all the xxxxx's women will have one!
I am so excited because I haven't been able to locate one here
in California. Thanks again for being there.

- Hello,
- I bought a racing cat boat
from you back in September. He loves it. I was
just wondering if you have a brochure you could send showing
the charms you
have. If so please send to the below address:

- Hi Charles & Leslie,
- You have no idea how happy
I was when I found your web page because it is
just what I have been looking for. I am a diver and I have a
diver's club.
Also, my friends and I are in dive gear and accessories business.
We want to
try re-selling some of your items which we feel that it might
be good since
there is no one selling any of your items and we know that there
are
demands. (Sorry, can't tell you which dive shop it is! But
there prices will be at least double what you see here.)
-
- December 7, 1999
- I love your inventory. I am
currently looking for a gold charm of an "airboat".
Do you have one or do you know where I might acquire one?
- Thank you so much for responding.
I have so much difficulty locating this item. I would like to
see any airboat charm that would work well for a man's necklace.
Please send all info and I will get back to you immediately.
Thanks again,
Geri

have found us!)

- Just had the pleasure of speaking
with your wife about to sea shell
pendents I ordered I am so looking forward to getting them for
christmas. I got a "Kabana" seashell braclett in St.
Thomas over 2yrs ago and love it! I have never been able to find
anyother sea shell items that I fell in love with as much as
it but when I stumbled across your web site it was my dream come
true! Your prices are outstanding! Thanks again for help

- Hi-
- I love your website and plan
to buy some items for Christmas (once I
decide). I "surfed" several "nautical jewelry"
sites and yours is
defintely the best. It is also the easist one to use with the
most
information about size and weight of each piece. (My one question
is --
if you don't say 14ct gold then what are we to assume it is made
of?)
- I noticed an e-mail dated
November, 1999 from "Suzanne" to you looking
for a conch pendant with pink enamel inside the conch. I just
say that
at www.geniusjewelry (Jack Whitman's site in KeyWest.) Not to
send your
customers to other sites but she might be grateful if you point
her over
there for that particular item.
- Anyway, your jewelry is great.
Do you do any belt buckles for men?
- Georgianna
- (Everything is 14kt gold
except for 2 rings from Ireland that are delicate and must be
done in 10kt for strength. We will add 14kt to everything though.
Thanks about Jack's site. We have visited it before. In fact
we sent Suzanne to a jewelry store in her area that carried the
conch shell. The manufacturer of that shell would not sell to
because we post the weights and discount the prices. We'll find
another! cb)

- I am going to order form your
website in the near future. I love the
products you have in the pictures and your prices are more than
reasonable.
I came upon this website by accident but I am very glad I did.
I am going to
share this site with my friends.
- November 23, 1999
- I just received the pendant.
It looks wonderful. Thanks for all of your
help and the cool card. Good luck again to you guys.

- November 20, 1999
- I received the pendant Thursday.
I could not wait until Christmas and opened
it. It is beautiful and I love it. Thank you very much for great
service.
You have a very good business. We will put your business cards
down in the
marina office where we are. I will pass the word here on the
West coast of
your great service and beautiful items.

- Thank you again.

- Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me! I'm looking for a special
gift for a man who loves lighthouses, maybe a charm, ring or
a mans bracelet he could wear of his special Lighthouse. I have
searched the high seas for a special gift for him for Christmas
and can't find one anywhere......
- Would you happen to have any
suggestions! This special friend in my life has been my lighthouse
through a storm I have been going through (divorce) He has been
my beacon through these ruff waters, and I would like to give
him something special for Christmas.
- We just got done taking a
very special vacation together, Did the whole
Outer Banks, It was wonderful and I will always remember it,
now I would like
to give him something he will remember........
PLEASE NEED HELP FAST........................

- I appreciate your quick response.
My husband believes it was bought by the
divemaster at a jewelers in Abaco, Bahamas...with the hurricane,
I wonder
what is there now. We have recently returned from Grand Cayman
and Aruba
and went to every jeweler there. We have also looked in St. Thomas,
St.
John and Barbados with no luck. I would say the charm was around
1/2" in
length with the fin being the longest piece and then a mask and
snorkel. I
believe it was three pieces on one link. I would think this would
be a
great seller to snorkelers. I have to say your divers are the
best I have
seen and wished I had seen them before we bought ours whose head
looks like
"ET". Another charm we are also looking for is a conch
shell where the
inside or lip of it was a pretty pink enamel. We saw what we
wanted in St
John several years ago and are sorry we didn't purchase it. Thanks
for any
help you can give us.

- Hi, Charlie,
- I received the propeller tie-tack
today and it's terrific! Thanks so much
for all of the attention you gave to my special request. I really
appreciate
it. Now I'll get it engraved and it will be perfect! Thanks again
for all
of your great customer service and a beautiful piece of jewelry.
I'll call
you again for gifts in the future.
- Sincerely,
- Barbara xxx xxxxxx

- Thanks Charlie,
- Actually the emerald is Diane's
birth stone. I thought the red ruby
would look nice in place of the heart (red). Another variation
might be
emerald chips as the eyes of the seahorse or dolphin. The stones
are
not a priority, just thought they would be a nice touch. Thanks
again
for your help.

- Also, do you know if the manatees
have come into the Crystal River area yet
this year. We are going down the first week of November and I
would love to
swim with them again. And, yes, I am very careful. Last year
was the first
time I swam with one and I was so excited when he came up and
looked at me.
But then I just enjoyed from the boat (which went VERY slowly)
because I
didn't want to disturb them anymore than I had already. But it
is something
I've wanted to do for over twenty years and I finally got my
chance. What a
WONDERFUL day it was!
Got the picture of the manattee ring! Looks quite nice. Will
show it to my husband when he gets home. This would be my 20th
wedding anniversary gift. Want this instead of my dolphin ring.
- Thanks for the news about
the manatees. I will keep my ears posted to the
weather channel and hope for the best. One more touch on his
back would be
so nice. And a little wink from them too would be great.
- Gail
- October 11, 1999
- Thanks for getting back to
me. Did you get my faxed order form?
- If you find more hammerhead
anything - I'm interested and I know a group
of people who may also be interested as we are divers just back
from
diving in the Sea of Cortez. Diving with schools of hammerheads
was our
main objective - we saw hammerheads sometimes pretty close up
on all the
dives we did on the sea mount (El Bajo).
- Thanks again - Noel

- October 4, 1999
- Good mornin', Charlie. Thanks
for your prompt & friendly service. I received the bracelet
on Saturday. I will be giving it to that special someone on Oct.
16. I hope she likes it.
Again thanks.

- Charlie,
Hurray, the jewelry is here. It arrived Fri.. We had a sub at
the front
desk and the sec. in my office was sick yesterday and hid it
so it wouldn't
get lost. The propeller is beautiful and I know my daughter's
boyfriend
will love it. She said yesterday that he has talked forever about
wanting
one. I love the ring bouy too, I have it on now.
- Thanks so much and I hope
I haven't stressed you too much.

Just wanted to let you know that the life saver charm arrived

- Rambling is fine, I don't
mind at all. It is interesting learning about
others. I have been in Braintree all my life. My family was in
East Boston
and West Roxbury before my Grandfather moved to Braintree. The
only famous
person we have is Pierce Brosnan, however, I have never met him
nor do I
know how true that family fact is. Oh well it sounds good. I
got the Charms on Saturday and they are beautiful. I am very
pleased and impressed. Just to let you know, our mail man did
not request a signature, the card was still on the package in
my mail box. I have signed it and will mail it to you myself.
Thanks again... I look forward to doing business with you again.

- Today we received a call from
someone in the Carolina's that had purchased a whale tail fluke
in Hawaii and had lost it. It had a lot of sentimental value.
The first one she ordered from us was too large. She described
it and we went on a search. We sent her another and she called
today and could not hide the excitement in her voice. It was
the exact replacement! She was overjoyed. It made my day!

Thank you for making my day!

- Dear Charlie,
Thanks for your prompt and courteous filling of my order for
my wife's
50th Birthday. She had a wonderful trip to swim with the dolphins
and
upon her return, I wanted to give her something to commemorate
her big
adventure. Your selection yielded the perfect charm for a necklace
that
I wanted to give her. SHE LOVED IT!
- Thanks again for your help.
Charlie Uxxxx
- Can you estimate a price for
this charm? I guess 1.25" will do if that is as
large as I can get. It's just that I am 6'7" tall and 290
pounds, and the
smaller charms look funny on me. I had a large one but it was
lost in a home
burglary. Thanks
-
- Thanks so much for your continued
efforts-I'll talk with the other board
members about using life preservers instead of the boat!! Thanks
again.

- Thanks for all the time and
effort you devoted to my need to find clip
earrings. You went to such great lengths to try to find them
for me. I'm
sure I'll be able to find them or fabricate them with all the
suggestions you
provided to me. You have opened up several avenues of which I
hadn't
thought. I know that Mother will appreciate all your efforts
when I'm able to share
with her how hard you tried and all the suggestion you made.
However that
won't be till the end of July when she celebrates her 90th birthday.
- Many thanks,
Jeanie

- Hello! My boyfriend loves
palm trees and I have been looking for palm tree
earrings for the longest time. I already got him a pendant. I

any. If you
know of any I would appreciate it greatly if you could help me
out. Thanks.

diving, but I am looking for French loop
type earrings for my wife? Do any of your diving charms come
in this
style of earring? If so, could you give me prices and availability?
I
am most interested in the fin, and the streamline diver!
