This week we are posting our first guest blog written by Alissa Noshie Moyse. We are thrilled to feature an amazing Houston based family-run business, Almaza Jewelers<\/a>. With Mother\u2019s Day coming up, it’s the perfect time to highlight this lovely company and family who are in the stone business too. Only difference is their stones just happen to be dazzling diamonds, emeralds and sapphires! \u00a0End of my short intro; I\u2019ll let Alissa take it from here:<\/p>\n

Fine jewelry is a precious possession that is meant to be worn, but also must be taken care of to pass down from one generation to the next. As a standard rule, it is recommended that jewelry should have a \u201ccheck-up\u201d once a year for repairs and twice a year (at a minimum!) to have your jewelry cleaned. Who doesn\u2019t want to sparkle all the time?! Allowing your jeweler to inspect your pieces could prevent loss and sometimes preventative maintenance is much less costly.<\/p>\n
