A rough diamond resembles a pebble so much that most people would by it without a second glance. It is the skill of the craftsmen that unlocks the fiery beauty that lies within.
The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to the earth. It was even said by some that they were the tears of the gods. The truth is that the exact origin of diamonds is still something of a mystery, even to scientists and geologists.
Even though the diamond is the hardest of all gemstones, it is the simplest in composition. It is common carbon, like the graphite in a lead pencil, yet has a melting point of approximately 4,000 degrees centigrade, which is two and a half times greater than the melting point of steel. Billions of years ago, forces of heat and pressure transformed the carbon into diamond in a cauldron of boiling magma that lay deep below the surface of the earth. The volcanic mass in which this crystallization took place then thrust upwards, and broke through the earth's surface to cool in kimberlite pipes. It is in these pipes that most diamonds are found today.
To recover the relatively small amount of both gem quality and industrial diamonds is not easy, even with the increasing sophistication of today's technology. Approximately 250 tons of ore must be mined and processed in order to produce a one carat polished diamond of gem quality.
About Alvin's
Alvin's Jewelers is a family owned company committed to providing customers with outstanding service and quality jewelry at affordable prices.
In 1870, Alvin's family established a jewelry and manufacturing company in Poland. While Ida roamed the country in a horse-drawn carriage selling products, Samuel managed the company operation in town. In 1918 Samuel and his two sons, Alvin and Wilfred, immigrated to the United States while Ida and two daughters maintained the business in Warsaw.
Samuel set up a retail jewelry store at East 37th and Woodland in Cleveland while living in the back room of the store with his sons. Alvin and his brother began to finish their schooling while selling balloons and newspapers on the street to help out.
In 1923, Samuel and his sons became citizens and their business began to show a modest profit. A year later, Ida and two daughters joined them in Cleveland. Alvin worked as a watch-maker and salesman at a downtown jewelry store, eventually becoming manager. He began to cultivate his dream of having his own jewelry store.
That dream came true in 1931 after Alvin had saved $600. Then in the middle of the Great Depression, Alvin opened his first store at 55th and Broadway. In 1934 Alvin married Edith, who became his partner in business and life. They worked together to build their business. Their children, Larry, Richard and Marcia assisted during the holidays and summers, selling, wrapping and sweeping floors to help out and learn the business.
This year Alvin's Jewelers is celebrating being in business as a jewelry retailer for nearly 80 years. Having 13 locations in the northern Ohio area, Alvin's is still owned and operated by the same family. Four generations later, Alvin's grandchildren, Chad, David and Lisa are proud to continue their grandfather's dream by offering greater Clevelanders a selection of quality jewelry and outstanding service.
For men's and women's wedding rings or any other diamond jewelry purchase, it simply must be Alvin's!
