Planning the Perfect First Date

Selecting the Right Venue

Choosing the appropriate location for your first date is paramount to creating a comfortable atmosphere where both parties can relax and be themselves. For those meeting through latin dating platforms or latina matchmaking services, consider a neutral, public space that facilitates conversation without pressure. Coffee shops, art galleries, or casual restaurants with ambient music often work well for initial meetings. The venue should allow for easy conversation while providing enough activity to prevent awkward silences. When planning to meet latina singles or connect with latin women seeking men, prioritize locations that reflect mutual interests discovered during online communication.

Timing and Duration Considerations

The length of your first date significantly impacts the overall experience and potential for future connections. For those exploring latin women online or latina dating site options, a first meeting of 1.2 hours is often ideal—long enough to establish rapport but short enough to leave both parties wanting more. When arranging to meet single latin ladies online or connect with latin women looking for men, suggest a flexible timeframe that allows for extension if the connection is strong. Avoid scheduling back-to-back dates or other time constraints that might create pressure. Remember, the goal is to enjoy getting to know someone you might have connected with through a latina matchmaking service or latin dating platform.

Making Meaningful Connections

Conversation Starters That Work

Engaging conversation is the cornerstone of any successful first date, especially when you’re meeting someone through a latin dating website or latina dating service. Instead of generic small talk, prepare open-ended questions that reveal personality, values, and interests. When connecting with latin women for marriage or those seeking serious relationships, inquire about passions, experiences, and future aspirations. Many latin women interested in older men enjoy discussing topics that demonstrate depth and intellectual compatibility. Remember that active listening is just as important as speaking—show genuine interest in your date’s responses and build naturally from there.

Cultural Appreciation and Respect

When dating latin women or connecting with latina singles, demonstrating cultural awareness can significantly enhance your connection. Many latin women dating older men appreciate partners who show respect for their heritage, traditions, and family values. If you’re meeting through a latin matchmaking service or latina dating site, take time to learn about cultural norms and customs that might influence your date’s perspective. Avoid stereotypes or assumptions, and instead approach each interaction with curiosity and openness. This cultural sensitivity is particularly valuable when exploring serious Argentinian dating connections or seeking relationships with Argentinian women for serious relationships.

Date Activity Best For Duration
Coffee and conversation Initial meeting, casual connection 60-90 minutes
Cultural event or museum Shared interests, intellectual connection 2-3 hours
Outdoor activity (park, walk) Active dates, comfortable setting Flexible
International cuisine dinner Deeper connection, shared experience 2 hours
Live music performance Shared entertainment, conversation starter 2-3 hours
Wine tasting Refined setting, mature connection 1.5-2 hours

We’re Back!

Very excited to be back again from the 13th April! It’s been a long old break, and a little strange for us all but we’re looking forward to restocking the shop with our beautiful jewellery and catching up with our lovely customers. Please excuse the dodgy hair for the time being… ?

We will temporarily be closing for lunch for approximately twenty minutes but will make sure we are clear of any queues beforehand. Unfortunately we can’t eat with our masks on but as things get easier we will work through as usual.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Love Us & Gus xx

New Buyer Appointed!

Breaking news! Bonner’s Jewellers are proud to announce the promotion of a new buyer who we are sure will prove to be a great addition to the team.
He has a background in the purchase of pigs ears and tennis balls but has proven his ability to diversify and refocus his talents as he has also boosted the profits of Waitrose dog treats by at least 50% in this year alone.
His most recent range of dog related pendants and earrings in sterling silver have already been a huge hit with our clients, and he has also flown the flag of inclusion by adding a cat range, despite his concerns that they would prove to be far less popular.
He will continue with his duties as Head of Security and Complaints Department but is dedicated to his new role and looking forward to unleashing his creative potential.
Well done Gus!
*The new appointment was in no way influenced by Gus’s tribe of adoring fans.

Outside of the box..

How many of us inherit jewellery which is either worn out or out of style and ends up languishing in a jewellery box never to see the light of day again?
When this happened to one of our customers she brought her inherited three stone Ruby and Diamond ring in with an idea for turning it into a cluster – and I have to say we were all thrilled with the results!
It’s such a beautiful combination of the original design but with a new, fresh interpretation – not to ignore the fact that it is now an incredibly impressive piece of jewellery! We were all insanely jealous when our customer came to collect it, although it has to be said she is so lovely she thoroughly deserves to show it off with pride!
It just goes to show that a little thinking outside of the box can keep your jewellery out of boxes too!

Thank you!!

Massive thank you to the lovely customers who brought this in for me on Friday! We have a miniature book fetish in common and this has some lovely poems in it so I was thrilled! Thank you!! X

Pre-Loved Wedding Ring? I Do!!

I know most people are open to the idea of pre-owned when it comes to clothes, cars, houses and jewellery but I wondered what the consensus was on pre-owned wedding bands?
My wedding ring was made in Birmingham in 1890 and it was really important to me that I had something of this age and style. My husband designed his own white gold ring and loves it; he had a very clear idea in mind of what he wanted and he felt it was more personal and meaningful to have something unique made. In contrast, I love the fact that mine had a history before us.
A friend once asked if I minded that the marriage it was originally used for may not have been a happy one? I have to say, no – I don’t. All gold gets melted down and recycled anyway and I’m really not superstitious about things like that. My marriage is good and happy and that’s what counts, and who’s to say it wasn’t originally owned by a loving couple who adored each other? Either way, I believe we make our own history – but this ring reminds me that some things just aren’t as important as they seem. Life is much bigger than just me, and when all’s said and done this ring will hopefully still be around when I’ve long departed. It makes me want to concentrate on the future even though I have a link to the past, and reminds me that for now, at least – we’re making our own mark on history. Phew! So now I’ve got all that off my chest, here’s a pic of mine:
_20150908_125026
When it came into the shop it was the exact right fit and had tiny marks and scratches – evidence of its life before me. I’ve never had them polished out and I’ve even added a few of my own! So what do you think? Would you wear an old wedding ring or is it too personal to be recycled?

The best thing about having a shop is….

When people bring in beautiful things to sell!

This was part of an inheritance which was destined to languish in a drawer until our client brought it in to us and brightened up a very English rainy summer day.

_20150814_151129

It’s mid 20th Century, and boasts a rather beautiful Opal of 3.3 carats surrounded by almost 1 carat of Diamonds.

Needless to say it is now (after some TLC) a very exciting addition to our collection! It looks so beautiful on I’m sure it won’t be here long, but at least we get to look at and appreciate it while it’s here.

That’s the other fab thing about having a shop!

 

No Need to be Blue

Sapphires are one of my favourite gems. It started with a birthday present my husband bought me – a large yellow sapphire solitaire ring – which was something of a revelation as like a lot of people I wasn’t really aware that Sapphires came in other colours! I asked our gemologist about it and he was so enthusiastic and passionate about the subject I think some of that enthusiasm rubbed off on me. 

_20150812_095334

When we think of sapphires I think most of us picture a vibrant blue gem, similar to the stone set in Princess Diana’s (now the Duchess of Cambridge’s) engagement ring. That rich, lustrous royal blue which catches the eye even without diamond embellishments. And we’ve all seen the dark blue, almost black stone which is usually used in commercial jewellery but how many people are aware of a third, fourth or even a fifth option? 

_20150812_100207
Sapphires come in many colours; pink, green, yellow, purple, orange – the list is endless. And whilst the occasional Pink Sapphire seems to have made its way into High Street Jewellers in recent years, we still don’t we see them as often as their Blue counterparts. Maybe it’s down to tradition, maybe fashion, or maybe it’s just cynical marketing? Either way it’s a real shame as the colour variation can be spectacular! 

_20150812_100207
I added a green sapphire to my collection a while back, and we’ve had pink, purple, orange and even white examples in the shop, but my overall favourite is the Padparadscha which can only be found in Sri Lanka, and like it’s namesake (padparadscha means Lotus Blossom) it is a gorgeous pinky/orange colour. 

There is still a real drive for individualism and uniqueness in jewellery, despite the current climate which has us all counting our pennies. And I think as so many of us develop emotional attachments to our jewellery we don’t necessarily want to invest in “disposable” fashion pieces. The price variation in Sapphires is huge, depending on colour choice and whether you favour natural or man made gems, meaning you can enjoy the prestige of actual gems (instead of glass or paste fashion stones) for not much more money. Sapphires are a fabulous way to introduce some of your own personality into your jewellery using precious gems without necessarily breaking the bank!

Many antique pieces circa 1910 will be set with “Created” Sapphires as this was around the time when the process was invented. At the time, it was the height of technological achievement and the stones were highly prized! Now, they command far smaller prices and little gold gypsy rings set with Faux Sapphires can be found for under £100.

It’s also becoming more common to see Sapphires set in Silver (keeping the cost affordable) but gold doesn’t have to mean expensive if you try to source Second Hand and have an eye for a bargain!

I’ll certainly be keeping mine peeled!

History of Hallmarks

It’s another rainy day and we just bought some more scrap gold. Both a fairly common occurrence nowadays, but this was unusual as the lady decided to keep one of the band rings when we identified the date stamp and she realised it was probably her grandmother’s! It got me thinking about the importance of the little stamps inside the band. They are quite important to my family, not only as they play a big part in our work but also as my paternal grandfather, Laurence Bonner made dozens of the stamps over the years in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. He was a steel letter cutter and would diligently sit in his workshop, hunched over a desk with a magnifying glass, reverse carving the punches used for hallmarks out of steel plates. 

Since the incredible increase in gold price, people are far more knowledgeable when it comes to their own gold and how to identify different carats and metals. And for the first time we are also seeing a real interest in hallmarks as more people have become aware of their use in charting the history of certain pieces. In the UK a full hallmark will not only give you the name of the manufacturer and the purity of the metal, but also the town it was made in and the date.

In light of this I thought you might be interested in a quick breakdown of the origin of the British hallmark!

1300 – Hallmarking first introduced into the UK. At this point the gold and silver standard marks were the same; depicting the Leopard’s head which is the mark of London.
1363 – Makers marks became required, initially in form of a rebus or initials.
1378 – Town marks also required. Traditionally Birmingham has the anchor, Sheffield a crown, London the leopards head and a three towered castle for Edinburgh. Later additions included Dublin’s crowned harp and Chester’s three wheatsheaves.
1477 – 18 Carat replaces 19.5 Carat as Standard Gold
1478 – Date letters also required in England. Each town has it’s own cycle of letters and styles to indicate the year of assay. 
1575 – 22 Carat Replaces 18 Carat as Standard Gold 
1798 – 18 carat reintroduced in addition to 22 Carat
1854 – 9, 12 & 15 Carat introduced 
1932 – 15 and 12 carat discontinued, replaced by 14 carat.

Platinum was originally used by European Court Jewellers in the mid 1800’s. Before this time scientists were unable to isolate the metal and produce it in it’s pure form. 
Until the late 1800’s it remained too expensive for commercial use and only the wealthy could afford platinum settings. Until the late Edwardian period, it’s colour remained largely out of favour for anything other than settings as yellow gold was so fashionable. However by the early 1900’s trends were changing and the “new look” was being embraced. It remained the metal of choice for those who could afford it through the 20’s and 30’s until the effects of the War made it far too costly to produce, and with demand for jewellery falling it all but disappeared from jewellers windows for several years.
There was no legal requirement for marking Platinum until 1975, which set a single standard for platinum of 950. Earlier Platinum pieces may be stamped PLAT by the manufacturer.
Palladium has grown in popularity over recent years and the legal requirement for marking was introduced in the UK in 2010.

So next time you’re rifling through your jewellery box debating whether to scrap that ring your aunt gave you, have a quick look for any marks inside – you might just be holding an heirloom!

Life before Skype

It may not be our most wearable piece but this ring is beautiful and charming and is greatly admired by our customers.

_20150724_141409

 

It’s a Georgian portrait ring, circa 1820 which contains a miniature painting of a young girl.

Lots of people have admired it, and a few have considered buying it but they have all decided against on the grounds that they can’t wear it everyday. 

The trouble is people expect different things from their jewellery nowadays. Most of our customers want maximum wear for minimum effort. They don’t want to spend thousands on a piece of jewellery that they can only wear on high days and holidays. 

When this ring was made life was very different. Everyone knows these portable portraits were the first incarnation of the wallet photo which has since been replaced by mobile phones and icloud. We own thousands of pictures of our loved ones, but it’s quite likely this portrait was the only image possessed by the original owner of this ring and would have been greatly treasured. Personally, I think it was probably a gentleman; mainly due to the size of the ring. It’s possible that the shank has been replaced at some point but the size is still large for a woman of that era. The portrait was likely painted specifically to be set in this ring and may be 10 years or so later due to the style of dress the girl is wearing. The pink of the bodice is reflected in the blush of her cheeks and her blonde hair and blue eyes give her a charming appeal. It’s also probable that the identity of the subject and/or the artist may be written on the back of the picture. Unfortunately it would be risky to tamper with the glass so we have left the secrets of the ring’s history hidden within.

She is certainly very attractive and was undoubtedly a great love of the wearer although we may never know what form of love this was – either suitor, guardian or friend. The portrait has been beautifully and painstakingly executed. It is hard to imagine only having one image of your loved one when we are so used to uploading holiday photos on facebook and chatting to loved ones via webcam. How many times was this portrait gazed at? And how long were the owner and subject apart?

I must admit I’m slightly disinterested in galleries, but these tiny artworks really resonate with my hopeless romantic side. I could quite easily find a home for a ring like this (and consequently, no doubt others like it!) It survived this long specifically because it was treasured and not worn during mundane chores like shopping and washing up. So for the time being we have become it’s guardians, at least until someone else falls as in love with it as the original owner did all those years ago. Pieces like these always find the right person the end.
