A GEM OF A STORE ALO DIAMONDS SPARKLES IN THE GALLERIA

Chances are you are so set in your brand loyalty ways you don ’ t even know it . You buy Tide religiously . You are loyal to J . Crew , Athleta and Shipley ’ s Do-Nuts . Although safe , this way of living your life deprives you of the plethora of options we are blessed with , living in this great country of ours . So let me introduce you to a different kind of jewelry store , unlike the James Avery , Tiffany & Co . and David Yurman of your undying devotions .
ALO DIAMONDS is not new to the bauble scene . In fact , with over 22 years in the business , ALO is firmly established overseas and , at the end of 2016 , opened a signature store in The Galleria . The beautiful , tiny boutique packs a powerful punch with a variety of jewels at various price points – from a delicate diamond-encrusted hamsa pendant , to a gold fairy tale fox with colored diamonds and emeralds . You ’ ll also find choices from a well-rounded baby collection to a ring collection that includes cocktail , engagement and everyday rings .
So the next time you ’ re in The Galleria , make a note to step into ALO Diamonds . We ’ re sure they ’ ll make their way into your trusty Rolodex . www . alodiamonds . com
