Some people had been waiting for weeks for the new buy tiffany store in Roseville to open today. Others just stumbled upon it while back-to-school shopping. Either way, the result was a packed store as the New York chain celebrated the grand opening of a new 5,600-square-foot outlet at The Roseville Galleria.

Joelle Speed of Granite Bay said she and herGhd Hair Straighteners daughters stopped by the money clips to find a present for her husband. She said she was happy she didn’t have to go to the Bay Area to browse.

“I like their selection. They have everything from classic to modern. It stands the test of time,” Speed said.

The opening — complete with a private reception the night before — comes as other high-end retailers have been scorched by the economic meltdown.prom Gowns

Overall, retail sales in July fell 0.1 percent. But, if you exclude automobiles, which where helped by the cash-for-clunkers program, retail sales are off by 0.6 percent last month.

Toronto is one of those cities that you just can’t help falling in love with. You fall in love with the tall buildings, the mild, lovely people, the cafes and restaurants, and the waterfront.Evening Gowns

If you are as lucky as I was on a recent visit to this Canadian city, you also fall in love with the person you are with, even if you have been with that person for years. Fortunately for those of you reading this article, one of the ways men show affection is by purchasing jewelry for the ones they love. Fortunately for Tiffany and co one of its locations happens to be in the middle of downtown Toronto.

Although it seemed like a busman’s holiday, there was Tiffany’s and there we were in front of its entrance. I’m not sure, really, which one of us wanted to go in more.

I find that in all of my travels, I always end up in a jewelry store. I guess it’s an occupational hazard, sort of like noticing what kind of watch the person you are speaking to is wearing. I just can’t help it. Whenever I have gone into a jewelry store in the past, and actually since that Tiffany’s visit as well, I have always announced myself as a jeweler out of respect for the salesperson’s time. wedding dresses

I don’t want to get their hopes up for making a sale that I know isn’t going to happen. When I went into Tiffany’s on this trip, however, I was curious as to how I would be treated as a customer.

I must say, it was a wonderful experience. I don’t want to gush about how wonderful a store Tiffany’s necklaces is but I would sure like to hire the person who took care of us.

Upon walking into the store, my companion and I were greeted in a warm and friendly manner by a young man of Asian descent who, we learned, had spent his youth growing up in Paris. He was bright and charming. So charming in fact that we refer to him today by his first name only – sort of like Cher or Britney – and each of us knows exactly to whom the other is referring. bridal dresses

My friend wanted to try on several pieces of jewelry and our salesman was very accommodating. We looked at a pair of pink tourmaline and diamond drop earrings that were $27,000, a pair of diamond earrings that cost $1 1,000, and then we were shown, without asking, a diamond pendant that was priced above $350,000.

I was dressed in blue jeans and a sweater, my friend was dressed in a white top and jeans. She was wearing only tricolored gold rolling rings for jewelry and I wasn’t wearing any rings, only a strap model Patek Philippe watch.

Perhaps our salesman has the same habit I do of always noticing what watch someone is wearing, but he was very giving and more than happy to spend time with us and show us expensive jewelry. The experience was one that I won’t forget, and in fact, I have tried to incorporate the salesman’s techniques into my own sales presentations at work.Ghd Hairs

I like going into jewelry stores to see the merchandise and see how the store is decorated and displayed, but bangles this time I got to see what it was like to be a customer, and I liked it

One day, I’m going to go back to Tiffany’s in Toronto and confess to the salesman that I’m in the jewelry business and wanted to see how it felt to be treated as a customer. I want to say thank you for a wonderful experience.
