Welcome to Milestones - December 2012

Season’s Greetings and welcome to the first edition of Milestones …our e-newsletter to keep you informed about what’s new in our world of jewellery, watches, awards and engraving.  We hope this finds you happy and healthy and ready to usher in another year.  We have seen many changes in our shop over the past 12 months including all new displays and our largest ever inventory of beautiful custom-made jewellery and Citizen watches. We invite you to stop in anytime to see for yourself and to say hello!  Here’s a little bit about what we’ve been up to in 2012.

Our new website is now LIVE

You may have noticed that not only has the appearance of our shop changed over the past few months, so too has our online appearance. We recently launched a new Ellerslie Jewellers website to coincide with the rebranding of our business from Rennells Jewellers and Engravers back to our original namesake: Ellerslie Jewellers & Engravers.  We are very proud to be a part of Ellerslie Village and increasingly happy with our decision to re-embrace the Ellerslie name.  Please take a look at our new website and let us know what you think by simply clicking here: Contact Us

Two new additions to the EJ&E team

Greg Winegar joined us in July and is a Graduate Gemmologist (G.G.) from California. Greg has been in the jewellery industry for more than 8 years and began his career as a Diamond Grader at the headquarters of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), putting his prior education in Environmental Geology to good use. Widely travelled, Greg has worked in a number of exotic locations including St. Maarten, Anguilla, Italy, Alaska and California and has undergone additional watch and jewellery training in Switzerland.

Marco Areias joined the Ellerslie team in October and brings with him more than 16 years of diamond and high-end gem setting experience.  He is a 3rd generation diamond setter from South Africa who also specializes in graphic jewellery design as well as the incredible talent of hand engraving, putting his degree in Fine Arts to good use.  When Marco isn’t hard at work setting diamonds, designing jewellery or handling one of our detailed engraving jobs, you’ll find him and his family cruising the gulf in their boat.
