If You Get Confused, Listen To The Music Play
Things are slowly moving forward around here. We got knocked out by the snow, but the diamonds are still coming in. We just cut a 4.60 carat round diamond into a 3.63 fancy yellow radiant cut that’s now at the lab. I will post some pix of a before and after very soon. For now, […]
You Gotta Be Lucky
My grandfather used to tell my father every day, “You gotta be lucky”. My father used to wonder to himself, “Why is he telling me this every single day?” Well, because it’s true. My father is realizing it as he gets older, seeing his friends get older and some becoming sick. I am realizing it […]
Looking At Diamonds…And Myself
I had an enlightening experience today with a customer. He came in to look at some diamonds we were holding for him, only to tell me that he found another diamond from an e-tailer and just wanted to look at settings. I explained that we don’t just sell mountings and set other company’s diamonds in […]
The Baltimore Ravens Made a Good Run
I just got back from Florida for a nice family vacation. Weather was great, kids were great, the only bummer was the Ravens loss to the Colts on Saturday night. I was happy to be watching this game sitting outside at a sports bar with my good friends, but what a terrible game. So what […]
Sure Don’t Know What I’m Going For, But I’m Gonna For It For Sure
Happy New Year! It was a great year for me personally and for Samuelson’s Diamonds. We are growing as a company in all directions both locally and online. In my first post of 2010, what better video to post than one of the Grateful Dead’s most meaningful songs, Saint of Circumstance. This was performed at […]
I Changed My Twitter Handle, Have You?
I think I may have an identity crisis. I just changed my twitter handle, user name, whatever it is, to @ronsamuelson. Isn’t that exciting and creative? It’s just my name. Let me tell you the history of my twitter names, so maybe there is some rhyme or reason for this change. When I very first […]
My Baltimore Blizzard Engagement Ring Story
The seventh biggest blizzard in Baltimore history and the biggest blizzard ever in December couldn’t have come at a worse time for retailers. It was the Saturday before Christmas, and to make it even worse we were having our Holiday Party on Sunday, complete with live music, food and drinks. Well, I had a diamond […]
Tip: Why You Should Have An Outside Admin On A Facebook Event Page
Just a quick tip that I figured out this weekend. We’re having a Holiday Party down at Samuelson’s Diamonds and of course I created an event on Facebook for it. This event was created off of our Samuelson’s Diamonds Fanpage. As an admin of my fan page, I can edit the event, but there is […]
The Herman and Walter Samuelson Foundation
It’s always good to see the legacy of The Samuelson Family doing good for the community. Herman and Walter Samuelson were my grandfather’s first cousins. My father just attended the ground breaking of Sinai Hospital of Baltimore’s $29.5 million expansion of its Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital. Here’s the article from the Baltimore Sun: […]
“Unfriend” is Named Word of the Year And I Invented It!
“Unfriend” was named the Word Of The Year by Oxford Dictionary. And guess who broke it first? That’s right, RambleOnRon will take credit for that one. It was this blog post titled “Unfriended On Facebook – Compliment or Diss?” that got the attention of Wall Street Journal tech reporter Jessica Vascellaro. She then interviewed me […]
