I have shopped for jewelery at James Avery, Sam’s wholesale club and a place in San Antonio called Americus Diamonds but have yet to buy something from a local Tyler jewelery store like Jim’s Jewelers and Murphey the Jeweler.
There are 6 important “C’s” to consider when purchasing a diamond ring.
Tip: When shopping around write down the specs for the type of ring your interested in from atleast 3 – 4 diamond ring stores in Tyler. Take down information on the cut, carat, clarity, color, certification and of course cost.
Chances are some of the Tyler Jewelery sales people will see your dilegence in writing down information and will lower their ring prices as you leave the store. Take down the new price and visit a few more jewelery stores in Tyler.
Below are some trusted jewelery stores in Tyler Texas although I have yet to build any satisfying trust in these stores to give me a confident buying experience.
For the guys out there looking for quality yet affordable engagement rings more advertising should be centered around value for the buck spent on diamond rings and jewelery.

With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, “Day After Thanksgiving Sales” are coming soon too. If you are not a regular Black Friday shopper you may feel lost and confused. This is the only day a year that traffic is the worst at 3:00 in the morning. If you drive through the town at midnight you will see tons of people lined up around the store.
Many people will camp out at night to get the best sales. But are all the stores worth it to leave your house in the middle of the night? The most popular stores in Tyler on Black Friday are, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and Kohl’s. The Broadway square mall will have people lining up at different stores but in my past experiences I have not found that great of deals at the mall in Tyler.
One of the biggest lines in Tyler is the line for Best Buy. Best Buy has every kind of electronics for a great price. If you are in the front of the line for Best Buy it can get pretty scary when the doors open at 5:00 Friday morning. They will have huge sales on iPads, and iPods.
They are selling all size HDTVs for lowest prices yet. Any Samsung laptop computer will be on sale for $150 off. Best Buy will be selling Blu-rays that were released this year for $12.99 and DVDs for less than four dollars. There will be huge sales on Play Station, Xbox, and Wii games.
Target’s parking lot is always over crowded pretty much all day on Black Friday. Target will have a pre-black Friday sale on Sunday, November 21st until Wednesday the 24th. Many sales that they will have are going to be pretty close to the sales that will be on Friday. There will be a huge selection f fun and popular toys for 50%.
The popular Tag books are on a lot of kids (and mom’s) Christmas lists, during these sales you can get one Tag book and get one free. Nintendo DS are on sale of $119. The new Donkey Kong Wii game will include a $10 Target gift card. You can shop for two people with one gift. The Acer netbook is normally $240 but will be on sale for $179.99, and includes a free Tuari Neoprene Sleeve, which is normally $12.99.
You can save up to $90 on Vizio Televisions. Paula Deen cookware set is usually $140, but you can save fifty dollars and buy it for the low price of $99.99. You can save on Christmas ornaments, candles, snacks and food for your Christmas dinner, not to mention all the dishes that it take to cook and serve the perfect meal.
The lines are the worst at Target. The store gets so unorganized. Black Friday seems to be the day that people get the maddest about people cutting in line and people cut in line the most. A hint to all the quick shoppers out there; have someone stand in line the moment you get there and do your shopping fast, that way you don’t have to sit there for a few hours with your hands full of stuff.
We are lucky that Tyler has three Wal-Mart stores and Lindale has one. How the Black Friday sales work at Wal-Mart is not like the other stores. They have separate lines within the store for the popular items and open the items early in the morning.
So at Wal-Mart you don’t have to stand out in the cold for hours at a time. Wal-Mart has movies for the lowest prices around even less than two dollars for movies such as “27 Dresses”, “17 again”, “Bourne Identity”, “Bourne Supremacy”, and “Bourne Ultimatum”. Wal-Mart sells Blu-Rays for only $10 and even some for $5. The Apple iPod Touch will be a big hit.
The selling price will be $225 but it will come with a $50 gift card. The portable DVD players will be on sale for less than $50. Televisions of all size will be on sale anywhere in between $98-$998. What little girl does not like to open her presents from under the tree to find a new Barbie doll? What mom does not love to find great sales on Barbie products?

I hope these sales will help you shop at the right store for your family’s Christmas wish lists. Tyler gets pretty crazy on Black Friday, all these stores get crowded fast so it may be the one day you willingly set your alarm for 2:00 in the morning.
Even with all the crowds, all of the annoying salesmen, and all the weird smells, the mall is worth going to when you have small children for only a couple stores, one being, The Children’s Place. I love to go to The Children’s Place just about anytime of the year.
They are always setting the newest trends in the children’s fashion world. For some reason it seems that when girls get to be around six or seven it is hard to find cute appropriate clothes. The thing I love about The Children’s Place is that their clothing for older girls is very cute, colorful, and modest.
Here you can actually find dresses and skirts for your daughter that is at least to her knees, that se will be happy to wear.
I wish that The Children’s Place did registrations. I would have registered there with each one of my pregnancies. The baby and toddler clothing selection is some of my favorite clothes that I can find anywhere. Most of the times that I go to The Children’s place I usually walk out with at least something for my daughters.
Not only does The Children’s Place have cute clothes for little girls, but they have a great selection for little boys. I love the little Polo shirts that are for toddler boys. They have all colors and sizes. Here you can find cute jeans for both boys and girls of all ages, for a great price.
The Children’s Place is definitely the best addition that has come to the Broadway Square mall. I really love this store. You can shop there for any season of holiday that is coming up. You can get your children outfits for Easter, Christmas, or even fun Halloween costumes.
Every year the country starts to talk about talented young singers auditioning to be America’s next super star. American Idol quickly has become one of the most popular reality television shows ever to air. Everyone has heard of David Cook, Kris Allen, and Jordan Sparks, but what about Lindsey Morgan Mitchell? Mitchell is the 2010 winner of East Texas Idol.
At the end of every summer for the last few years Tyler has been the home of East Texas Idol. They have had auditions in the middle of the Broadway square mall, Bergfeld Park, and this year was in the Cascade’s community. What a great way to bring out the talented singers around East Texas, and to bring a reality check to the untalented young kids whose moms reassure their imaginary voices.
The winner of the contest gets to audition in front of the judges of American Idol like hundreds of other people. Unlike the hundreds of people that try out, the winner does not have to wait among the other contestants nor do they have to audition for anyone other than the final judges. In the past the finale judge board was occupied by Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell. Later song writer Kara DioGuardi, and comedian Ellen DeGeneres joined the board. This year’s judge’s panel is not set in stone, as of now the only returning judge is music producer Randy Jackson.
Fox 51 local news covers East Texas Idol. If you are interested in who won this year the KFXK Fox 51 and the KETK NBC websites have video and articles of the event. If you are interested in auditioning for East Texas Idol, every year this contest is held in the beginning of August and you can get information on Fox 51’s website.
Claire’s has been in the Broadway Square Mall for a long time. When you raise two extremely girlie girls that love dressing up, Claire’s is a frequent stop while shopping at the mall. My girls’ faces light up when they see the corner of fairy and princess accessories.
I can get all my kids’ dress up needs here at Claire’s. The walls are lined with tutus, princess crown, colorful jewelry, hair bows, and fairy wings. With Halloween just around the corner you can dress you kids up with the fun, colorful accessories.
Claire’s does not only have stuff for toddler girls, but for women of all ages. They have the newest styles and accessories. Claire’s has had sales pretty much every time I have gone into the store. Many times they have earrings for “buy one get one half off”. The store has all different style of necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. You can get all different jewelry for a great price. Some of my favorite things in the store are the selections of bags, scarves, and hair accessories. They have all accessories to top off all of your outfits for every season of the year.
When I was really young I got my ears pierced at Claire’s, and I recently took my daughter to get her ears pierced there too. They pretty much do the same thing that they did when I got mine done. They sat her in a car and let her hug a teddy bear. A lady marked her ears with a purple marker just to make sure that they keep the earrings even with each other. I sat her on my lap just to make sure she did not jerk and to make sure that the lady did not miss the mark that she made. After the lady pierced my daughter’s ear, my daughter started crying, but the lady was fast at getting the second ear pierced even though she had to “re-load”. As the lady was doing the second ear, my daughter jerked, but the lady still pierced it on the right spot. After it was done my daughter was still crying so the lady helped calm her down by showing her how beautiful her ears were and by giving her a lollipop. Candy always helps kids be happy. The only thing that I had to pay for to get her ears pierced was the actual earrings. The piercing was free and it came with a solution that you have to clean the ear with three times a day.
Claire’s is a great place to shop for all your make up, and jewelry needs for a low cost. And it is a great place to shop for all little girls love for finger nail polish, princesses, jewelry, and dress up.
