Happy July 2010!
This is our first blog and we are very excited about it. To think, when Ronald and I got started, over 30 years ago, creating a postcard or calling someone by phone ( landline) was a big idea! Now, 30 years later, and over 20 years as partners, we BLOG. Frankly, if it weren’t for the next generation this would not be possible.
Ronald and I are incredibly excited to bring our next generation into the business…. WOW.. We have watched each other’s children grow, and now we get to work with them. It is pretty exciting to think that all of our kids were either babies or non-existent when we merged…Now the youngest is already 14. What is so great is that these young people, some Kestenbaums and some Weisners, come here and become KestenbaumWeisners… indistinguishable. We treat them as one and they treat us as one. Even more importantly, these kids get along like the best of friends and family. How very cool it is for us ( the old men) to watch our kids work together, get excited for each other, care about each other and cheer for each other.
Oh yeah , the blog. Well Louie started us off with a fan page on Facebook (Kestenbaum & Weisner Fine Jewelry) and we began to enter a new world…. “Social Networking” Of course if you are reading this you are only too aware of this phenomenon; but for me, Philip, this is all new. Louie has worked with Manhattan Bride Magazine as well, again making a place for this new generation (and with a wonderful magazine for those who are looking to get engaged and married – some super ideas and wonderful pictures). Anyway after Lou got us open to this social networking, ArinMichelle got involved and helped move it along…actually creating this blog site and a twitter account..( still not sure I get it all…but I am trying) We look forward to all this communication and connection to you.
We are so very proud of this next generation..we invite you to come in visit, say hi, catch Lou or ArinMichelle in the showroom, or you may catch Julian sitting at the cutters bench…Yes Julian is following in his grandfather’s foot steps… He sits at the diamond cutting bench helping to make those perfect diamonds that we offer.
Have any questions?….ask ask ask..We invite your inquiries..
Challenge this new generation and make them your connection..
-Philip J. Weisner, K&W President
