Thank you for visiting Pendant and Ring. We specialize in heirloom quality coin pendant jewelry and collectible coins. We are here to help you find the right piece of jewelry to celebrate your history.
Our self-employed journey started in 2000. The Internet was a new and wondrous place full of dot-com businesses, but we were not on that high road to fame, fortune, and bubble-popping. Instead, we worked in what we thought was a safe industry; real estate.
Our real estate business grew slowly at first, and although we did not know it at the time, our very own bubble loomed on the horizon. Blissfully unaware, we celebrated the birth of our second child, moved into a larger home, bought a commercial building to turn into a practice space and music studio for local bands, and started a service business in our area of expertise. Our three-year-old started attending a private school and hated it, so, we started homeschooling too.
Fax cover sheets doubled as drawing paper in the home office. Charles’ love of history deepened as users uploaded documentary clips about past wars and the rise and fall of empires on YouTube. CD-ROM software and educational websites like Starfall.com sang the ABCs and counted in the background. We opened our first eBay store, as a hobby, in 2006.
Then the real estate bubble burst. To survive the crash we sold the music business, exchanged our car payments for cash cars, and in the end, moved to a small starter home in a little town.
The eBay store became our lifeline. The recession made it difficult to sell our services as everyone tightened their belts. Charles redoubled his efforts on eBay and Renée went back to school.
In 2014, we opened a second store. Through our stores, we have met people all over the US and all over the world. A number of those buyers and sellers have become our friends. We share ideas, and vacation pictures, and console each other in times of hardship. We are happily a part of that global village.
By opening this website we hope to deepen the connections with our friends and earn the respect of new customers with their own history to share. Our kids, who learned to read fax cover sheets are both in college now. As our family grows, so does Pendant and Ring, and hopefully, our relationship with you.
