We Will – We Will – Rock You!

It might not be sensible for summer, but it sure looks cool.

If you had a choice, who would you want holding your finger, wrist, or neck…James Dean or Jerry Lewis? Yeah, that’s what we thought. What about if you have to choose between Trinity and that bus driver from Speed? Exactly. What about Fonzie and Potsie? Aw, come on, we’re not that old.

Black and brilliant has long been a synonym for cool. Even though it’s actually two synonyms. That’s what cool does, it puts more into less. Our Charriol jewelry does the same thing, the Celtic Noir collection contrasts the brilliance of diamonds with stylish black Celtic cable. This contrast creates diamonds that pop even more, catching attention with ease. Suitable for evening wear with its night appeal, this collection can also be worn during the day because of their casual elegance style as well.

If you want the most cool per inch, get a piece our black Charriol Celtic cable jewelry. Wear it on your motorcycle for extra style.

From the coast! From the prairie! From the mountains and the deep blue sea! Many of you have gathered to ask the question “Why, Sonny’s Rocks?” And now we’re prepared to answer.

Welcome to “Why, Sonny’s Rocks?”, the feature where we take a look at the hard questions that worry our clientele. Today’s question comes from a young man in Dallas, Texas. He writes:

“Sonny’s, you have so many, many incredible wedding rings. I see them advertised all the time. Naturally, I appreciate the amazing selection and the seriously hot styles that you offer.  And I like that I can choose between gold or platinum or cobalt or tungsten. But why did you buy so many wedding rings? Why, Sonny’s, why? Sincerely, Young Man, Dallas, Texas.”

Well, Young Man in Dallas, we here at Sonny’s believe in disclosure. We believe in honesty. That’s why we’ll tell you flat out why we have so many of these unique and very cool wedding rings.

I was doing some photocopying and Kerry was going out to buy snacks and she asked if I wanted anything and I asked her to get some chicken-wings and she asked how many, and I said “As many as you can find.” Clearly, she couldn’t hear me over the copier. Thanks for writing in.

Remember, if you have a question, maybe we’ll answer it! Keep one eye peeled and one ear uncovered, and maybe you’ll get your answer when you ask… “Why, Sonny’s Rocks?”

Some people say they can tell the blogs I write at the last possible minute. But I don’t know how they ever could tell that. My writing standards are just that high.

What’s black and white and red all over? A black and white enamel ring from Hidalgo after a little bit of paint!

What’s the difference between a Ritani “Endless Love” engagement ring and sex? Wow, you don’t get a lot of dates, do you?

A guy goes into a bar with a 195.00 diamond cluster pendant from Sonny’s Rocks. Bartender says “We don’t serve your kind here.” Guy says, “What? That’s awful! I’m not gonna leave my brand new diamond pendant outside!” and the bartender replies “I was talking to the pendant!”

When I was young I used to pray for a diamond from Sonny’s Rocks, then I realized that God doesn’t work that way, so I stole a diamond from Sonny’s and prayed for forgiveness.

Forget about the fireworks, and the barbecues, and the parades. What could possibly be more American than buying a diamond?

Fireworks? Weren’t those invented by the Chinese? And now that we mention it, you know who loves a good parade? That’s right: the Communists. They fall into parade formation at the drop of a hammer and sickle. You ask us, anybody who has ever watched or especially marched in a parade is probably a closet pinko waiting for a signal from his Soviet masters to burn American flags in the streets.

True, red-blooded Americans will spend the day recreating Red Dawn with little green army men and buying your engagement diamond from us. Mind you, the diamonds we offer are the best money can buy…the best. Like America, our diamonds are for sale to everybody and make no apologies for being totally awesome. In short, this is why we fought on the shores of Grenada.

The enemies of America can have a diamond from Sonny’s Rocks when they pry them from our cold, dead fingers. Like the Liberty Bell, the bald eagle, and the bacon triple cheeseburger, it’s a potent symbol of the enduring ideals that made our country great.

Except that it was mined by a British company and probably cut somewhere like India.

You got kicked out of your knitting club. Your boyfriend’s at a motel with your best friend. Mom won’t return your calls. But through it all, there’s somebody who’s always right there with you.

It’s your 14kt yellow gold huggy earrings. They’ll never start a Flickr group for sharing unflattering pictures of you, or ignore you at your own birthday party. Whatever it is about you that’s so easy to hate, your huggy earrings don’t care. Like a loyal puppy, they just keep on making your ears look delicious enough to nibble on.

The secret is, they don’t have a will of their own. Maybe you need more friends like that.

Ununited Colors of Hidalgo

What does your choice of color for a Hidalgo enameled ring say about you, other than the fact that you’re a little warm? Let’s ask the colors themselves!

Turquoise: Hi, I’m Raindrop! When you buy me you’re saying you like your rings upbeat with a splash of fun! Note: no liquids are actually included.

Dark Blue: Yo, I’m Midnight, the Hidalgo ring enamel with diamond “X’s” for 24 hour party people! Keep cool no matter what time it is!

Raspberry: I’m Raspberry, and I’m made for people who are passiona-

Red: No, no. No, you don’t.

Raspberry: What? What are you talking about?

Red: Passion. That’s my angle. Get your own.

Raspberry: What, you own the concept of passion now? Get out of here.

Dark Blue: Guys, look, there’s no reason to get, like-

Red: Well, Passion is the cheesy color name that Hidalgo gave me. So yeah, you might say Passion has my name written on it. Pick some other concept, dude. (continue reading…)

Steel! Pitiless, indestructible, unbending – has any other alloy exerted such power over the human imagination? Conan the Barbarian gutted half of the snake-worshippers in Hyboria in his quest for the Riddle of Steel, while countless ‘80s housewives flexed their neon-lycra tushes toward the elusive dream of Buns of Steel. When a Soviet bureaucrat named Josef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili needed a really kick-ass code name, he didn’t call himself Man of Brass. He became Stalin, Man of Steel. And he couldn’t even leap tall buildings in a single bound.

So while our TeNo jewelry may look quite luxurious, we can’t blame it for appropriating some of platinum and gold’s mystique. It’s designed to incorporate both innovation and tradition for a look that’s wearable everyday that we like to call a “innoditionalwearability”, because we’re dorks. Like the anti-terrorist security cordon around London known as the Ring of Steel, or the Pittsburgh Steelers’ legendary Steel Curtain defense, TeNo don’t take no mess when it comes to its unbreakableness. By combining these forms with gold, diamonds, ceramics and rubber, TeNo designers create modern, trendsetting stainless-steel jewelry.

“Pounding the world like a battering ram,” sang Judas Priest on the 1980 album British Steel. “Forging the furnace for the final grand slam.” We have no idea what they were on about, but we like to think they had TeNo jewelry in mind. Won’t you let it forge the furnace for your final grand slam?

An Offer We’d Rather Refuse

Hi, it’s Vinnie with- well, you know who I’m with. I’m in a great mood because I’ve been beating my troubles away, and I’m hoping you guys aren’t the next one I need to beat.

Look, I know where you guys are coming from. You’re out here hustling a buck like the rest of us, you got nerve, you got ca-joanies, I appreciate that. Now you appreciate this: take that damn Leslie Greene silver jewelry down off your web page or I’ll use it to sprinkle your ca-joanies on my hot fudge sundae.

I mean, come on. You think you’re fooling anybody with this “selling it at wholesale”? You show pictures of the earrings, pendants, and bracelets.  You selling this stuff at less than half the price that all the Leslie Greene dealers sell it for?  I mean, come on. Don’t crap on my rye toast and tell me it’s tuna fish, all right? Tell you this, I’m not just going to sit here while you guys undercut Lesli Greene’s prices. You think you’re real smart selling great looking silver jewelry at half price, huh? Don’t make me remind you what happened to the last guy who tried to sell her jewelry like this. You seen him on TV lately, huh? One beating at a time, that’s all I’m saying.

Look, I’m not a bad guy. You wanna be friends, I’m all kisses. But you bite me and here come the beatings. I go nuts. And you’re not gonna love me nuts. So think long and hard about how quickly you want to blow out Leslie Greene’s silver jewelry.

You following me, wise guy?
