Wallach Jewelry Designs – Local Elegance & Style at your fingertips!

Wallach-banner-2Wallach Jewely Designs  has been a family owned business and tradition for the past 99 years,  starting out in the Bowery, moving to the Diamond District on 47th street in the 50’s,  to Eastchester for 40 years  (Many people knew Steve’s Dad from those years and that’s where Steve worked when he joined the family business), and finally moving to Larchmont  18 years ago.
When people are thinking of buying something for that special occasion, Wallach Jewelry Designs always comes to mind. Specializing in diamonds ( the owners go on visits to Antwerp, Belgium, the Diamond capital of the world to purchase their diamonds ) as they only wish to offer the very best to their clients.
The owners, Steve and Gina, love their craft. specializing in custom designs for their clientele. Engagement rings, wedding rings, beautiful exquisite jewelry are all available for purchase. If you are having an estate sale, call Steve and Gina, appraisals – call them, repairs – guess what!  They even offer a spa service for your jewelry starting at $75. Call them! It should be noted that Steven is a GIA Graduate Gemologist too.IMG_20150718_142609567
Being active members of the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce, Steve and Gina are also excited about the upcoming Larchmont 125 celebration, and are having designed a special pendant and/or charm to commemorate the year long event ( which can be handed down to each generation thereafter) .  This commemorative piece of jewelry will hopefully be available for purchase in August/September.
Steve and Gina care. Through their efforts, they were able to re-unite a lady with her 1971 High School Ring that she had lost whilst moving from Connecticut.  Gina called it a true Christmas miracle.

Wallach Jewelry Designs  are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10-5 p.m. and can be reached at 914 – 833-0665.

IMG_20150715_202239735_HDRRE Vamp started as a monthly networking group where you could ‘dine and opine’ and then, we all became friends on Facebook, got to know one another, and in liking one another, looked forward to our monthly discussions. The discussions would range from Multiple Bidding, Agency Disclosure, SEO, and everything real estate related. Our group consists of Realtors, a Floor Specialist, Inspectors, Mortgage Lenders, Title CompaniesBroker Owners, Managers,  Insurance Specialists, Attorneys, Mold remediation specialists, Credit repair specialists,  Interior Designers, and so forth. We have seen people come and go, and yet we have a core of people who have been there from Day One. Why?IMG_20150715_202717156IMG_20150715_201117093

Because it is fun, we learn, we laugh, we argue. We can now obtain Continuing Education Credits for taking part also! How bad is that!IMG_20150715_192522822_HDR

This past Wednesday was our second annual “RE Vamp” Barbecue party, one of only 2 events where we don’t have discussions. It was well attended, and I am seeing some new members too. Like last year, this RED event was held at the Knollwood Country Club in Elmsford where the food was good, plentiful and the company sublime!

IMG_20150715_202530640IMG_20150715_201134509Kudos to Scott Forcino and Artie DiMella for initiating this Networking group. Always fun, and always enjoyable.

Happy Bastille Day – New Rochelle – a City of History

New Rochelle was founded by the Huguenots over 300 years ago in their pursuit of religious freedom from France. New Rochelle is so proud of its history. SO many facts, so many details. Bastille Day, of course was on July 14th,  1790 – a different part of history but since today is July 14th, it is a good reason to listen one of the songs from my favorite musical “Les Miserables!”

Did you know that many towns and villages in Westchester also have Historical Societies? Eastchester,  Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, etc.

Become involved, join and be a part of history also!

New Rochelle is great!

Date Night in Larchmont on July 23rd, 5-8 p.m. 2015!

untitledThe Larchmont Chamber of Commerce meets once a month, but there are always many conversations and meetings in between to help ensure Larchmont be seen as the vibrant village it is!  Carolyn Fugere as the President of the Chamber of Commerce works tirelessly along with her Board Members to create ways in which to help the many stores and restaurants in the area. One such suggestion was to have a ‘date night!” It was thought that when people arrive home from work, the stores are all closed, and they don’t have the opportunity to go shopping with or without their loved ones. What better way to promote the stores than to announce that not only will the stores be open later on a specific night, but will embrace  the ‘dates’ with gift raffles and ‘strolling’ live music!

“Date Night” will be held on three different dates: July 23rd, August 27th and September 24th, 2015 from 5-8 p.m. Participating stores will have balloons !

Another great idea set into motion by the President of the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce, Carolyn Fugere who just so happens to be the Manager of the Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s Larchmont Office.

Larchmont is GREAT!
