Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage and Longevity: Consistently weave in the "since 1955" and generational aspects to reinforce trust and tradition. Use phrases like "a legacy of," "for generations," "our family tradition."
• •Highlight Expertise and Passion: Showcase the deep knowledge, especially regarding opals and custom design. Use terms that convey mastery and enthusiasm, like "master lapidarist," "certified gemologist," "passion for," "artistry."
• •Speak with a Friendly, Welcoming Voice: Use approachable language that makes customers feel like they are talking to a knowledgeable friend or family member. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific feature where expertise is key.
• •Focus on Uniqueness and Quality: Stress the one-of-a-kind nature of many pieces and the high quality of the gemstones. Use descriptive words that evoke beauty, rarity, and value like "exotic," "treasure," "hand-selected," "genuine."
• •Tell Stories: Connect with customers emotionally by sharing the stories behind the business (the Burton family's journey), the gemstones (their origin or unique properties), or the potential stories the jewelry will become for the customer (heirlooms, special occasion gifts). This makes the brand more relatable and memorable.
