The Present
The men who are most
successful in making their ladies
feel most special are the ones
who pay attention to what they
like best. “Girls like to sparkle
and the guys that really get it like
to make sure they do sparkle,”
Woolsey said. “When it comes
to anniversaries, the guys who
do the best by their ladies are the
ones who take it seriously.”
Woolsey and Stubbs agreed
that an engagement ring is
probably the single most
important jewelry purchase a
man will make. “We’re ready to
help them with whatever they
need to find the right piece, the
ring they know their girl will love
and be proud of,” Stubbs said.
“
We will work within their
budgets, of course, but we
also want to make sure they
get something that is not only
beautiful but will hold up
because it is something that will
be worn every day,” he said.
Woolsey said it’s important
that a young man “gets it right”
when he proposes marriage.
So, he is writing a book on the
subject. “It’s about the perfect
proposal. I want to assist guys
through the process and make
sure they are doing it right
because the delivery of the
proposal is just as important
as the engagement ring. The
confidence a woman has in her
man is huge when it comes to
how it all is presented,” he said.
Basing the still-untitled book,
which will be available after
the first of the year, on his 16
years of experience helping men
through the process, Woolsey
said a jeweler can become one of
the most important people in a
person’s life from that moment
on.
