At Donald Haack Diamonds, design is personal. This high-end jewelry store, now located in SouthPark after 15 years in Uptown Charlotte, puts as much effort into getting to know their customers as they put into designing their products.
The Donald Haack staff tracks customer wish lists and familiarizes themselves with customers’ styles. As a result, they are able to offer highly personalized recommendations and custom design birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and more with the recipient in mind.
In fact, the majority of clients are either repeat customers or referral customers. “When our buyers are proud of their purchases and the receiver is happy with the gift, they tell their friends and family,” explains Julie Haack.
How to Start and Build a Jewelry Collection
The key to starting a quality jewelry collection is to invest in well-made and fairly priced pieces. Well-made pieces will not just hold their value, but often they increase in value over time, especially diamonds, which should be well-cut, higher color, higher clarity, and have a large carat weight.
Donald Haack Diamonds also knows that the value of a piece of jewelry extends beyond its monetary worth. “Jewelry is not just about finding a well made piece for a fair price,” says Julia. “The factor that makes jewelry so special is the reason why it’s purchased – love, anniversary, birthday, graduation, promotion, babies…all the important things we celebrate in life. When gifted with a jewelry item, you remember that occasion each time you put it on.”
