Gifts from the Heart

As the only Jeweler in town that owns a manufacturing facility, we here at Ro,Ma Jewelers take great pride in the special order and custom design process.
Designing and manufacturing a piece of jewelry is an extremely exacting and precise process that requires a great deal of attention to detail. The first step of the process is to consult with the customer so that we may manifest their visions onto paper. Our designers work closely with their clients to ensure that every detail they want to include will be reflected in the final product. After the initial consult, the orders are sent to our own manufacturing facility where our expert Computer Animated Designers recreate the customer’s visions onto a computer screen.

Yes, indeed the community is now being asked to help guide and shape a new city arts master plan. The Cultural Planning director David Plettner-Saunders wants the plan to arise from the community and many people need to be asked in many ways as possible.

The location of local shops and boutiques matters for so many reasons.  It matters to the community because successful small store fronts are a critical piece of the economic puzzle we are always striving to expand and develop.  Location also matters to the business owner for obvious reasons. 

Cake decorating is a fun sweet hobby that makes lots of people happy. The smiles from children when they see a simple cupcake with sprinkles. To the elaborately decorated cake that adds the finishing touch to a bride and grooms wedding day. These are all sweet labors of love.

Ginger can be traced back to Europe.  During the 11th century, explorers came back from the Middle East with the spice “ginger”.  The spice became popular with bakers, and they added sugar to the ginger root to create candy.  Later with the discovery of molasses, the bakers added breadcrumbs and molasses to the sugared ginger to create what we know as gingerbread.  Gingerbread is cut and shaped into all sorts of hearts, animals and even ornately decorated and given as gifts for Easter and Christmas.

Are you thinking of getting engaged?  Keep in mind as you plan your proposal that this will be one of the most significant moments in both your lives.  Make it a day she will remember and cherish forever.  The most memorable proposals rarely cost a lot of money, they are just well planned and thought out.
If you’re a romantic kind of guy, dine and romance her.  If you’re a serious, formal kind of guy, make it a serious, formal proposal.  If you’re both the daring type, make it bold and adventurous.  Just be yourself and do something she’ll never forget.

To understand the calendar, you must understand the event.  The “Advent” has been celebrated by “Western Christians” for 150 or more years.  The tradition began in Germany (as have many Christmas traditions) and celebrates the “coming” of the birth of Jesus.  The importance of the event led many Christians to believe the celebration should be much more than a one-day celebration and the Advent begin.  In days past it began on the 4th Sunday preceding Christmas Day and lasted thru Christmas Eve.

Since our introduction of Cedar Glen Jams to our community through The Magazine of Santa Clarita, readers responded and have become patrons, purchasing our freshly made jams.  Word of mouth (or palates if you prefer) has also spread (no pun intended here!) our products and the variety of fresh homemade jams.
We offer jams, preserves and butters made from locally sourced seasonal fruits.  Our fruit is from our own Farmers Market at College of the Canyons and Francisco’s on the 126 freeway in Fillmore.  Folks are also finding out about Cedar Glen Jams from the free samples I give out while going about town:  at stores, restaurants, nail and hair salons.

Well I got your attention didn’t I?  I’m actually writing about marriage and intimacy, which also involves sex.  When we first meet the man we decide to marry and spend our life loving and fighting with… well, fighting is not really part of the equation, but nonetheless all sorts of sparks are flying!  We dress up, wear makeup and worry about our hair.  Unfortunately, I see a lot of women who, after the wedding, are just not that interested, but it’s not so with the men.  They thought about it the minute they saw you and it’s not changing anytime soon.

Right now it may seem like you have plenty of Christmas shopping days left, but before you know it you’ll be racing from store to store along with a thousand other last minute shoppers trying to find that perfect gift for those friends and relatives who are particularly hard to shop for.  Well, why not make your life a lot easier by giving the person who has everything a one-of-a-kind custom framed treasure?
