			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With daylight savings time coming into effect, i&#8217;m not exactly on the top of my game today, so here are a few tidbits that came our way over the weekend.</p>
<ul>
<li>The new collection by <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/verragio.php" target="_blank">Verragio</a>, formerly named Evermore had to be changed due to a conflict with another company using it.  It has now been renamed the <strong>Venetian Collection</strong>.</li>
<li>There are a few new items in our <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/swarovski.php" target="_blank">Swarovski Collection</a> including a new <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/product.php?pid=6221" target="_blank">Kris Bear figurine</a>.</li>
<li>The entire <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/category.php?cid=174" target="_blank">Masterwork Collection</a> by Ritani is now available at Kranichs.com and we are adding the rest of the collections shortly.</li>
<li>Mother&#8217;s Day is right around the corner, so be sure to try out our <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/mothers_rings.php" target="_blank">Mother&#8217;s Ring Builder</a>.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I returned from vacation this week, much like most people I returned to a long list of emails and new paperwork.  I spent a while working through everything and then discovered a few DVDs waiting in my basket.  The one on top caught my eye immediately when I saw the name <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/simon_g.php" target="_blank">Simon G</a>. on the front.  <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/simon_g.php" target="_blank">Simon G. Jewelry</a> is one of my favorite designers that we carry here at Kranich’s Jewelers so I loaded it in my machine.  What I found was not new promotional materials for their line, but a very nice video about their partnership with the <a href="http://www.liliclairefoundation.org/" target="_blank">Lili Claire Foundation</a>.  I have included the video in this post and I am glad that such a great company like <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/simon_g.php" target="_blank">Simon G. Jewelry</a> can help out this great foundation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="https://www.kranichs.com/product_images/2739_sm_Style15_5_W_S.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Mother’s day is right around the corner.  <strong>May 9, 2010</strong> keeps inching closer and closer, so the question this year is what to get for your mom this year.  Should you get flowers, a nice dinner, or maybe something that will last a little longer?  That’s where we can help.  This year, why not get Mom one of our beautiful <a href="http://www.kranichs.com/mothers-rings" target="_blank">Mother’s rings</a>?</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="https://www.kranichs.com/product_images/2740_sm_Style11_3_W_S.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />But that gets me wondering, where this whole idea of a mother’s ring came from.  After a little digging around the net, I think I have an idea of the origin.  According to the Wikipedia entry, the rings originally came from a simple piece of birthstone jewelry.  Way before you were born, Mom would have worn a ring that had just one birthstone in it, hers.  After the first born son came into the world, Mom got an update.  The rings became two bands joined by the son’s birthstones and after each new son came into the family, Mom’s ring would be replaced with a new ring with an additional birthstone for the new baby.  Eventually, the birthstones became less focused on a son and expanded to all of Moms kids.  So the first born son would have his birthstone, but his sister was also represented on Moms ring.</p>
<p>Today, a <strong>mother’s ring</strong> comes in many different styles sometimes including stones not only for her children, but sometimes even her grandchildren.  The mother’s rings are often given to a mother or grandmother upon the birth of a new child or grandchild, sometimes as a new ring or to replace an old one.  They are also very popular around this time of year when you are looking for something that she will love on Mother’s day.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="https://www.kranichs.com/product_images/2738_sm_Style4_2_Y_S.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />In the days leading up to May 9th, be sure to keep an eye on Kranichs.com.
