A man armed with a crowbar terrorises a jewellery shop owner, but what he doesn’t know is that his violent act is being broadcast right around the town on short wave radio, to the police, the council and local shopkeepers…

You may have seen Scarborough’s top jewellery shop owner on Series 3, Episode 8 of the BBC’s Caught Red Handed series. For anyone that hasn’t, keep an eye out for it and watch Mr Bond in his acting debut   😉

What is Rhodium?

Tags

Do you have any yellow gold jewellery you don’t wear any more because you may have fallen out of love with yellow gold?

Good news! There are options available to you.

First off, you can always come to our jewellery shop on Huntriss Row, Scarborough and we’ll try to buy it from you, or…

You can have it rhodium plated and turn it in to white gold jewellery.

What is rhodium?

Rhodium is a very precious metal that can cost ten times as much as gold or more! Rhodium is generally not considered a feasible material to make jewellery from, because it is stressed and brittle, very difficult to “work” properly for jewellery making, and it’s price is terribly volatile.

But rhodium is fabulous as a plating for jewellery because it is glitteringly, dazzlingly, white and mirror-like. It’s like chrome, but much whiter, and the most reflective of all metals.

Rhodium plating makes diamonds look bigger and better because it’s so bright that it glints like the diamonds. From a couple of feet away and under most lighting conditions it’s hard to see where the stones end and the metal begins. Nothing sets off diamonds like rhodium plating does. So most white gold jewellery today is rhodium plated.

So that’s another option. Why not bring your yellow gold jewellery in to us and let us give you a price on rhodium plating (turning it in to white gold jewellery). It’s very possibly cheaper than you think, and you can once again wear that jewellery you once loved.

Scarborough Target for Alien Invasion

aliens, scarborough

Aliens have their sights on seaside resort Scarborough according to research from paranormal investigators.

The North Yorkshire town joins London, Cornwall, and Reading in a ranking of the country’s most at-risk places for an alien invasion.

The findings are based on reported sightings, presence of military bases, and a proximity to potential targets.

Phil Hoyle, head of the UFO Investigation & Research Unit, said; “The risk is very real with UFO sightings increasing each year.”

“The Government needs to be vigilant and introduce measures that ensure the public’s safety.”

“They have a right to be prepared for the inevitable and this research demonstrates a threat that is potentially on their doorstep.”

Meet The Boss

abstract, aliens, bond, paintings, scarborough

Mr Bond has been working as a jeweller in Huntriss Row for over 30 years. His story is rags-to-riches and his life has taken many twists and turns. We’ll not expand any more on this other than to say he’s written a book about his life, he has distribution planned, and there has already been whispers about a possible film or television series based on his writings.

Mr Bond’s expertise in jewellery, particularly diamonds, is called on many times a day from far and wide, including from his friends in Antwerp (diamond capital of the world).

As well as running a successful jewellery business (also buying and selling antiques and quality paintings), his love for art, especially abstract, comes to the forefront through his own abstract paintings. His work can be seen hidden in some of the photographs above. People are already sitting up and starting to take an interest in his paintings, particularly because of his love of aliens. More often than not these little green men are depicted in his works (Scarborough, the home of Bond Jewellers also happens to be the UFO capital of England). His artwork, interest in aliens, and the town of Scarborough are currently being written in to a documentary for cable television. If you’re interested in backing this project, Mr Bond would almost certainly love to hear from you.

If you’re interested in the boss’s abstract paintings you can view some of his work, and read the stories behind them on his website, Off The Track Abstract.

WOW

bond, scarborough, the diamond

Q. Why no blog posts between 6th – 11th August?

A. Because we were that busy showing people THE Diamond.

That clears that up. We hope.

So, due to the overwhelming response we’ve had to this gorgeous stone we’re thinking of a name change. What about calling this special cut “WOW”? Because this is more often than not the first word that people speak when they see THE Diamond for the first time.

Does it sound right? “Come and see WOW at Bond Jewellers”. Don’t worry if you hear this on the radio or read this in the press, it’s not an ABBA tribute band, it’s simply the finest cut of any diamond in the whole of the UK.

Come and see WOW now at Bond Jewellers, Huntriss Row, Scarborough.

Ok, maybe we’ll continue to call it THE Diamond. Come and let us know what you think!
