Pre-fall brings about the cool summer nights. The temperature is not too hot and not too cold; it is actually perfect. Perfect nights for a bonfire proposal. The golden amber from the fire will illuminate and set the scene for a proposal to remember. Friends and family gathered around a fire won’t make grasping everyone’s attention hard or noticeable. Not to mention fabulous pictures to mark the memories.
Sports Game
If your partner is a football or baseball fanatic, you may want to pay attention. Go big or go home. Surprise her with tickets and a Jumbotron for a sports game proposal! Or make it a moment in the box or just a special area of the stadium. For a sports lover, the fact that you are taking their personality into account makes it a perfect environment.
Sunset Stroll
The sunsets this time of the year are absolutely beautiful because the hot summer days are met by the cooler night temperatures. The mixture of temperatures orchestrates hues of reds, purples and sometimes greens if you are lucky to catch them. Nothing is more romantic and priceless than capturing this moment at sunset.

Find Your Perfect Summer Watch
Finding the perfect summer watch solely depends on the activities and summer vacations you have planned or foresee taking this season. Having different watches for different occasions isn’t just about style, but expressing your personality and what we can use it for.
Watches are more than an accessory, they are a tool. While many people wear a watch for the sole purpose of completing any outfit, many uses it for its functionalities. Picking the perfect summer watch should be all about you and your summer expectations. Let’s Look at a few different universal options for him and her.
Water-Resistant
Technically, no watch is waterproof, however, there are Water-Resistant watches for those of us who love water. For those of you who plan to engage in water activities this summer, you are best suited for a water-resistant option. Many summer activities are centered around water to help stay cool while enjoying the hot summer months. Fishing, boating, diving, swimming etc are all valid reason to get a more durable watch to wear. When choosing which water-resistant watch is right for you, pay attention to the meters of pressure the watch can withstand. Every water-resistant watch will have a specific number of meters it can handle listed in the specifications.
Smart Watch
Watches have evolved way passed your typical analog watch, while we still consider it to be a classic, chic piece to add to your collection, smartwatches have changed the game. Because you plan to have a busier schedule with additional summer activities, a smartwatch is a great idea to stay connected. It is not only the on-the-go option, but will also help you monitor those workouts to keep you fit. The summer is one of the busiest times of the year and we are more on the go with the array of different activities to enjoy. Don’t worry there are definitely water-resistant smartwatches as well.
Change Your Band
Your current watch may be perfect for you and your summer needs already. Changing the band is great maintenance, and the material of the band does matter for your summer comfort. A breathable band is essential to keeping cool on those hot summer days. Also, selecting an option that is water-resistant because the last thing you want is a soggy wrist.
Watches are that special piece of jewelry that can complete a full outfit. It is the added piece that is a common go to for many of us. Visit Master Jewelers online to customize the perfect summer watch for you.

Make Your Own Fine Jewelry
Making your own jewelry is rewarding and has become a hobby craze for many. However, many jewelry makers get discouraged with the intricate process of making fine jewelry. Fine jewelry is commonly made using heat and smoldering precious metals together and setting expensive gemstones that require expertise and special tools. Because of the high costs of gemstones and precious metals, there isn’t much room for error. This is a job best handled by expert jewelry artisans, but at Master Jewelers we understand your love for jewelry making and want you to be a part of the process every step of the way. Don’t worry you will guide us while we do the heavy lifting that requires expertise.
Here a summary of our four-step process for making your own fine jewelry with Master Jewelers.
Sketch your design
Sketching your jewelry design is the most foundational piece to making any jewelry. Like art, it is the real-life expression of what you are trying to create visually. At, Master Jewelers Indiana we collaborate with you to ensure we bring your ideas to life. We will provide expert design tips that will enhance your design and troubleshoot any future issues you may have with your current design. Knowing what you want is only half the battle, creating it on paper is the other half.
Wax Replica
Because we are working with precious metals and expensive gemstones, there isn’t much room for error. Sometimes the design needs altering and rearranged in real lifetime. Master Jewelers creates a wax replica of your piece because they don’t want to hear you say “I would have changed this or this would be better here.” Instead, we want to hear “Let’s change it here and this piece there”. We will only move to the next level once you have signed your stamp of approval on the wax mold.
Casting
This is where the magic begins. Using a lost wax mold, the designed jewelry turns into real life jewelry. Cast the foundation of your design with a precious metal of your choice, like yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, etc. There are multiple steps to this process and this is where our expertise kicks in, but don’t worry we will give you a breakdown step by step.

Spring cleaning isn’t your basic cleaning but more about clean in the deep corners of your closet. One place that gets missed more season than one is your jewelry box.
Too often we forget to clean out our jewelry boxes from the clutter or old pieces we no longer wear. Some of this is because of pieces are broken and hold too much of sentimental value to get rid of them. Or other pieces we haven’t gotten around to fixing.
