COVER FEATURE
MEANING TO GIFTING JEWELRY
the designer and the manufacturer,
we are able to help the customer conceptualize
a dream piece of jewelry. If
customers come in with an illustration
or a sketch or even an heirloom piece
of jewelry that they want to replace, we
can sit with our design team and fully
conceptualize and design that piece of
jewelry in a 3D form, so they can see
it on our big screens, or we can print a
3D model for them so that they can be a
part of the entire process. You don’t just
come here to shop for jewelry.
Why is that important? I design because
what else can a woman give to
her daughter, her granddaughter, or her
nieces besides a beautiful piece of jewelry
that she has worn that has retained
a piece of history? I always recommend
that when that time occurs, that a person
who’s wearing a Charles Krypell
will be anxious to give it to this young
lady with a warm hand. A warm hand is
important because while she’s alive, she
recognizes who loved the piece, who’s
deserving of it, who is close to her heart.
What are some of the services and
products you provide? We are beyond
a full-service jewelry store. What we
specialize in is classic jewelry with a
twist. We really have everything from
jewelry staples like diamond studs
and tennis bracelets to one-of-a-kind
sapphire, ruby, diamond, and emerald
creations all the way to fancy-colored
diamonds. We have one of the biggest
collections of pink, yellow, blue, and
natural-green diamonds. This is something
we have specialized in, are known
for nationally, and we have one of the
largest private collections here on display
and for sale. We have a full-service
repair department. There›s no job that›s
too small or too large for us. Bridal is
one of the most important parts of the
store. We are here to provide the best
engagement ring-shopping experience
on Long Island. And that›s because
we›re leveraging out 45 years in the
jewelry manufacturing business to
offer the clients diamonds that are not
readily available on the open market.
These are diamonds that come exclusively
to us. We have relationships
with diamond mines, siteholders, and
cutters so that diamonds are not passed
through so many hands before they gets
to the final client.
From where do you draw your inspiration?
My inspiration comes out of
satisfying the consumer’s individual
sense of what they want, and if they don›t
understand what they want I will help
them. Once I achieve this experience, this
piece of jewelry that you own that was
made by Charles Krypell, as opposed to
another piece of jewelry that was made by
someone else, will be given to your daughter.
Anything else that was not made by
Charles Krypell will be given to your
daughter-in-law.
