The William Henry Studio is devoted to the vision of designing and building the finest tools possible. Founded in 1997 by partners Matthew William Conable and Michael Henry Honack, the studio has grown from a one-man shop to a 20 person company that has established a new benchmark of excellence. In 2007 we celebrated our 10th anniversary, and continue to build on a legacy of exquisite form and function that has gained us worldwide attention among connoisseurs of fine objects. The seamless integration of classic natural materials and state-of-the-art alloys is a hallmark of William Henry's work — no compromises, no shortcuts, exceptional quality. Each component is precision machined to tolerances reserved for aerospace level work — often measured at 0.0005", or one twelfth the size of a human hair. The final fit, finish, action, and sharpness of each knife are achieved entirely by hand, employing the irreplaceable craftsmanship developed by generations of master cutlers. Every pocket knife we make is a distinctive heirloom-quality testament to the art of knifemaking. Each piece takes more than seven months to produce, and incorporates the work of more than 30 artisans across 800 individual operations. William Henry creates a range of tools so perfectly conceived and executed that they transcend superlative function to become superlative art. Our cutting instruments offer unmatched performance as daily carry tools and are found among the finest collections in the world.

The Four Cs of Diamonds

The Four C's of Diamonds

Cut : The cut describes the proportions and angles of a diamond. Many people confuse cut with the shape of a diamond. Although nature determines the other three characteristics, it takes a master diamond cutter to reveal a diamond's true beauty. Diamonds are available in various shapes including round, square, pear, heart, marquise and oval but cut refers to angles and proportions of a diamond. Color: White-colored diamonds remain the most popular, even though diamonds are found in a kaleidoscope of colors. Diamonds are graded on a color scale implemented vy the Gemological Institude of America (GIA), which ranges from D, which is colorless, to Z. Color differences can be so suble that diamonds colors are graded under controlled lighting conditions and are compared to a master set for accuracy. While truly colorless diamonds, graded D, are treasured for their rarity, diamond color is ultimately a very personal taste. Ask us, your Master IJO Jeweler, to show you an array of color Preference. Clarity: Nature ensures that each diamond is as individual as the person who wears it. Naturally occurring inclusions such as minerals or fractures are identifying characteristics created while diamonds are formed in the earth. Master IJO Jewelers used magnification to view at 10x their actual size so these tiny inclusions are more easily seen. Inclisions are measured on a scale of perfection, known as clarity which was established by GIA. The greater a diamond's clarity, the more rare and valuable it is. A diamond with an inclusion in the middle or top could impact the dispersion of light, making the diamond less brilliant. Carat Weight: Carat is a diamond's measure of weight, not size. One Full carat is equal to 100 points. A 3/4 carat diamond is the same 75 poinrs. Since larger diamonds are found less frequently in nature, a 1 carat diamond will cost more than twice a 1/2 carat diamond (assuming all other characteristics remain constant.) The cut and the mounting can make adiamond appear larger than its actual weight. Your Master IJO Jeweler will help you find the right diamond and mounting to optimize its beauty.

Angel in the ChoirSinging in the choir at my church is a passion of mine made even more wonderful by the fact that my future husband is the choir director. We met the first night I attended choir practice and had an enthusiastic discussion about music choices appropriate for our church and our large choir’s capabilities.Every week we met to practice for the upcoming Sunday services. We sing at three services on Sunday and are all very dedicated to the successful creation of a service filled with uplifting, well executed music. Peter and I had hit it off that very first night and not only enjoyed seeing each other at practice and at church, but spent a lot of our spare time together as well. Before we knew it we were considered “a couple”.Christmas at the church is especially exciting, but the behind the scenes work it takes to create a wonderful holiday celebration filled with joyous voices usually leaves us time for little else. My second year in the choir found me running around like a maniac trying to squeeze in shopping, baking, and gift wrapping between all the extra practices we were having. I knew, of course, that all the practicing would be worth it in the end, but little did I know just how special it would turn out.Christmas morning came and the choir was bustling around the dressing room decked out in crisp red and white robes. Peter was rushing around like a red blur as he gave last minute instructions and reminded everyone of their cues for solos and Bible readings. I smiled as I watched him and wondered when we’d have enough time to celebrate Christmas ourselves, just he and I.We filed solemnly into the church before many parishioners had arrived and began a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night”. I lost myself in the wonderful Christmas music as we moved from one song to the next. Peter stood at the front gently guiding us, a satisfied smile on his face.The church was nearly full, Father had come to the side of the choir, and we all began to sing very softly. Father nodded at Peter, but what happened next was not what anyone in the church was expecting.Peter leaned toward the microphone at his left and said, “Before we begin this celebration today, I ask that you all join me in a celebration of my own.” As he said this, He was looking right up at me. I felt butterflies in my stomach as he continued.“On this special day, I want to share my joy in finding the woman I want to share my life with. So, if Jean would come down here for a moment, I’d like to ask her to be my wife.” My knees were shaking as I walked down through the choir to join Peter at the front of the congregation. He knelt before me and took my hand.“Jean, in front of the people who care about us most, I ask you to be my wife,” He said as he slid a fabulous diamond ring on my finger. The whole congregation seemed to be leaning forward to hear my whispered “Yes” as Peter rose to give me a hug.I could barely walk back to my place in the choir, and my voice was shaking so much I could only mouth the words for the rest of the service. What an incredible Christmas gift!

Colored Gemstones

Precious vs. Semi-Precious Gemstones The distinction between precious and semi-precious gemstones is often misunderstood, but fairly easy to understand. Stemming from the ancient Greeks, the traditional distinction between precious and semi-precious gemstones boils down to rarity; diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald are considered precious, while all other gemstones are considered semi-precious. Generally, this system is often considered overly simplistic, unscientific and only reflects the rarity of the respective stones in ancient times. As a result, use of the terms 'precious' and 'semi-precious' in a commercial context can be considered misleading, however when buying gemstone jewelry it's important to acknowledge that this will largely affect the price of any purchase.

Reviews PERSONAL CARE AND SERVICEYou made my expiriance a real pleasure. There was never any pressure to buy. You let me ask all the questions and never made me feel uneasy. The personal attention I recived was terrific. Compared to the places down south, there is no comparison. You make me feel quite comfortable and very confident about my decision. I would have never received that kind of attention out of town. ~David and KimI would like to thank you both for your awesome customer service. When Dave came in to Jewelry To Go prior to Christmas to find me a gift he had no I dea what I would like. Mary was right there to help. She said " I know what she has been looking at! " Mary knows her customers. She was able to help my husband. I got a really NICE Christmas present! ~BarbaraMy experience with Jewelry to Go has passed all expectations. I drive there from Weldon CA and enjoy every minute I spend there. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I have bought many items-- never had an issue with any of them. Jewelry to Go is such an asset to the community. I have been to other jewelry stores and somehow I never feel as "significant" and as "special" as I do at Jewelry to Go. Sometimes I just go there to look; I am never made to feel that lookey lous are in the way as I have at other places. They are to be commended for all they do. They treat you the same if you spend a thousand dollars or less -- in short they are fabulous.~LaurieI want to wish you and your wonderful smiley staff at Jewelry to Go a very Happy New Year! The past year you all have been so wonderful, so helpful, and so kind. I have received so many compliments on the dream catcher Al made out of my late husband's wedding ring. Your eyes, hearts, and smiles sparkle like the jewelry in your cases. ~JuliaWhen my fiancé and I went to pick out engagement and wedding rings, Mary was so helpful in explaining the quality and clarity of diamonds to us; she showed us different wedding sets (she even mixed an engagement ring with different wedding bands, which is what I ended up picking out); she explained the difference between tungsten and titanium in men's rings; she sized our fingers; and when we picked the rings we loved, she added the sets to our profile in the computer so they would know exactly what we wanted when we came back to buy. After my fiancé bought my engagement ring, Jewelry To Go sent us a Thank You card and the gift of a gold dipped holly leaf Christmas tree ornament. Walking into other jewelry stores (especially the large chain stores), I feel like I'm at a used car lot. Jewelry To Go is different from most jewelry stores because they are so personable. When I go into JtG, it feels so comfortable and friendly. They are always having drawings to win prizes, and they send out birthday and thank you cards. When I move out of Ridgecrest I will still come back to Jewelry To Go for all my Jewelry needs. ~SamanthaA million "Thank You's" would never be enough, so I'll just say one from the heart! Thank You! ~Deby and MarkJtG is always there for me. Whether I'm getting a $45.00 trinket or spending a significant amount, the level of service and assistance is always spot-on. The people at JtG are friendly, helpful, and just plain pleasant. I never feel pressured and can always count on top-quality jewelry and even better service. As someone who couldn't tell the difference between a 3 carat diamond and a fishing lure, I trust that when I go there, I'll get good advice and they'll stand behind the sale. ~GregThere is a genuine feeling that you, the customer, are the focus of everything. You are not a target to sold something. No matter the reason for the visit, what you want/need is paramount. Al, Mary, and their staff are always willing to spend as much time as needed to ensure you recieve the product or service you came to the store to get, and to make sure you have everything you need to make an informed decision. No other jeweler, over the past 45 years, has inspired me with the professional confidence, exceptional results, and superior products that I have received from the folks at Jewelry To Go, and that ensures I will continue to rely solely on Mary, Al, and their staff to supply all my requirements in the area of jewelry sales and service. ~LanceI would like to submit that the owners/employees of JTG are the most accommodating and friendly people in our little town. There is no issue that they are unable to work on/with. Everything from layaway options, great sales, and buy back options are all things that make a successful company and happy customers that keep coming back. Al and Mary are involved in our community projects and are always willing to reach out to help others. For the owners/employees of JTG, its not about making a profit, its about making and keeping friends. ~ J.I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to Angela for her very active participation in my recent purchase at Jewelry To Go. Please pass on my sincere appreciation for her efforts in supporting the making of a dream come true "Circle of Love". I especially appreciated the information and advice Angela offered during the design phase, her knowledge of diamonds and settings has proven to be invaluable through our development. ~Fred
