We provide you with complimentary ring sizing at the point of sale and also for as long as you own the ring if needed in the future. We also provide you with free shipping to your address.

Make An Offer
- We are beyond happy with our purchase. The set is even more beautiful in person and is exactly what we were hoping to have for our engagement ring: something unique and something with history; an antique ring with beautiful high quality stones. We had been searching online and in stores and we found the best selection to fit our needs and desires on your website. Every ring offered in those big named franchised jewelry stores looked exactly the same as one another. Review by Richard & Susan (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I found an amazing engagement ring & wedding band with the help of Sherrie. We loved working with her and Frank as well. Every time we would go into the store, everyone was so helpful and cheerful which made the experience so great. We will highly recommend your store to everyone! I am a very satisfied and happy customer. Review by Kennan L. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
I could not recommend Gesner highly enough! We were ordering an engagement ring to be sent to Australia and needless to say we were a bit nervous, as neither of us had ever ordered something so valuable online before. Erik was incredible and answered every little question we had immediately and reassured us every step of the way. When the ring arrived it was a perfect representation of the ring we had seen in the photos and the video and the measurements that Erik had provided were exact. It fit perfectly. I would recommend Gesner to anyone looking for an antique, one of a kind engagement ring. I am so glad we did it. The ring is EXACTLY what we wanted and I haven't stopped looking at it since I got it (3 months ago)!
Thank you so much. Review by Clare C. (Posted on 7/15/2013)
I have to say, the pictures on your website did not do the ring justice. It
was far more beautiful than I expected! Review by Dan D. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Thank you Frank and Shanel for my incredibly beautiful art deco wedding band. I can't thank you enough for your helpfulness and kindness. The ring itself is stunning - and what an amazing job you've done with re-sizing it. No-one can spot the new join! Thank you also for sending it all the way to Australia, and for your continuous contact when I was deciding on a ring. The best online shopping experience I have had BY FAR. Many, many thanks to you lovely people. Review by Nikki G. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Customer service is excellent. Staff is extremely friendly. Great people to do business with. Review by Abraham S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I am overwhelmed with my bracelet. I have had so many compliments! My shopping experience at Gesner's was exceptional! Review by Mary R. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
I wanted to let everyone know that I received the ring, had it appraised, and am very excited to be giving it to my sweetheart over the Christmas holiday! It is truly a beautiful piece and I'm fortunate to have been able to work with all the folks at Gesner to make the purchase happen. Thank you all for your continued help, support, and consideration. I'll be sure to report on the proposal as well!
David S. Review by David S. (Posted on 11/1/2012)
- I bought an antique wedding band from Gesner online, and I could not be happier with the experience. Price was great, customer service was top notch, communication excellent, and shipping very fast! I would encourage anyone to buy with confidence from Gesner. I know I will again in the future. Review by Daniel (Posted on 7/26/2013)
I wanted to send a belated though enthusiastic thank you for all your assistance in finding the perfect engagement ring for my wife-to-be. I had a seemingly endless litany of questions and what turned out to be unfounded concerns, and you were generous with your time addressing all of my queries. You were also right when you noted that photos simply didn't do the ring justice – a sentiment my fiancee and all those who have seen the ring echo! The engagement ring is absolutely beautiful! Thanks again!

The Space
People-watch from the new rooftop deck. (See Little Place 2 if this listing is booked -- also with its own deck -- my temporary amateur pics don't do it justice. Or rent both and meet on this middle deck.) This apartment is your own little place in town, an urban pied-a-terre with everything you need to be at home away from home. Located in Burlington's vibrant Old North End, it's two doors away from the neighborhood gathering place/coffee shop, Barrio Bakery (they have delicious vegan baked goods, too, and dine-in pizza Wednesday through Saturday evenings). It's about a 10-minute walk to downtown, half a block from an Asian Market with fresh produce as well as great takeout, and there's a convenience store across the street. Walking distance to the waterfront and bike paths, the University of Vermont, and Fletcher Allen Hospital. 45-minute drive to Stowe. Private entrance, queen bed, equipped kitchen, bath with shower (no tub), off-street parking, WiFi, AC, hairdryer, couch clicks flat for a third guest. Coffee, tea, milk, juice, organic granola provided. Smoke-free.
Posted price includes cleaning fee and the 11% VT room and meals tax. Single-night reservations or a third guest is an additional $20 — please message me so I may send a special offer with the correct rate. During summer and foliage season, single-night reservations on the weekends will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. The apartment is the top floor front of my triplex.
Guest Access
Guests are welcome to enjoy the backyard but their own deck is more private and less buggy. They have an assigned parking space at the front right-hand side of the driveway.
Interaction with Guests
I like to meet my guests when they arrive or soon after (I work part time away from home) and orient them to the apartment and the local amenities. I'm a knock on the door away if I'm home or available by cell phone if I'm not. I respect the guests' privacy although I'm always happy to run into them in passing and hear about their adventures.
The Neighborhood
The Old North End is close to everything and home to new families, long-time residents, students, artists, immigrants and is enjoying a revival with many start-up businesses, pop-up cafes, community gardens.
One-night stay is $195, 11% VT room and meals tax included.
Not really suitable for more than two guests (although the couch clicks flat to a non-standard bed size in a pinch) or children under 12.
I live on the first floor, reasonable courtesies expected.
LED candles provided for flame-free ambience.

My husband and I stayed at Linda's Little Place Guest House for 2 nights, and it is marvelous! We loved the location (2 doors away from a fantastic bakery) in the North End within walking distance of so many things in Burlington, and just as important, we loved the apartment's design, colors, space utilization and rooftop terrace. Linda has the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the area. Just as important, we appreciate Linda's warm welcome and conversation over a glass of wine. The Little Place Guest House is on our wish list!
This apartment was just as lovely as it looks in the photos, in a nice neighborhood with easy access to the downtown area. Linda accommodated our request to check in early so we could get ready for a wedding, and included some very nice touches like orange juice and delicious granola from the neighborhood bakery that we enjoyed for breakfast. We only stayed for one night, so we didn't have a chance to spend time out on the private porch, but that would be a great place to eat a meal/hang out if you had a slightly longer stay. I would definitely recommend staying at the Little Place Guest House -- it's a bright and cheerful space with all the amenities two people need and a great location for those looking to explore the charming city of Burlington!
We had a wonderful stay at the Little Guest House. The place was perfect for the two of us and Linda made us feel right at home. The coffee, granola, juice and milk was an added bonus! We will happily stay here again the next time we make it to Burlington. Thank you Linda!
I stayed at The Little Place Guest House for 3 nights and every aspect of my experience with the apartment and the Host, Linda was truly superb. Linda provided a meet and greet that was greatly appreciated in terms of a quick orientation, provision of a Burlington map and several spot-on tips. She also kindly offered to go across the road and get some ice for my recently broken ankle.
The apartment is superb. It is immaculately maintained with all the amenities I wanted and a number of added value items (by reference to numerous other Airbnb visits I made), specifically superb granola from the local (3 doors away coffee/bakery shop), a bottle of milk, a bottle of OJ and a access to a wonderful sun trap deck.
I can't say enough nice things about this place. The location was wonderful, and the apartment was immaculate. The attention to detail (French press coffee, granola, orange juice, and milk) was much appreciated. Will definitely stay again when in Burlington.
My stay at The Little Place Guest House was wonderful! It was my first Airbnb experience, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. The apartment is beautiful and -- as described -- convenient to Church Street and other points downtown. The deck is a great spot for morning coffee and baked goods from the lovely bakery up the street.
Linda was easy to work with and very thoughtful. When I arrived to check in holding a bouquet of flowers from the farmers market she went to her own apartment to get a vase for me.
First time for me using Air BB. Was very easy. Linda's place was just as she described. Cute, clean, and nice location. Baccio Bakery two doors down had great breakfast pastries plus tasty thin elegant pizzas at night. Recommend staying here. Linda has a lovely place and nice touches that make you feel cared for.

This is a ride for slower riders to Stinson Beach from SF. The path will be SF -> Mill Valley -> 4 Corners -> Pantoll -> Stinson Beach (Lunch) -> Hwy1 -> Muirbeach -> Hwy 1 (up/down) -> Mill Valley -> SF. Pace is a recreational/non-hammering/non-PR seeking with avg of about 12 mph for the entire ride. With that said, if you are fast, feel free to seek out other fast riders and hammer back after lunch.
Difficulty: Strenuous - A fair amount of distance with several extended climbs, a series of short steep pitches and some potentially fast, technical descents. Some experience with longer rides recommended.
Miles: about 45 (to 50).
This is a similar to the ride we did in the past, but in reverse direction:

Best diary app I've tried. However a small problem I'm facing. As my phone Moto E 2nd Gen has very limited internal memory and this app saves the photos (probably the notes also) in the internal memory itself it's somehow a bit inconvenient for me. Is there any way to change the memory location, particularly for the photos taken by the app to the external memory ?
Nice diary app Nice UI and clear love it nice way to sync with Google Service very fast so thank for accept my Comment thing to improve (if not impossible) 1.need a tag select in dropdown menu (easy more than write by myself) 2.in Timeline need a tag show on top easy to see (also on Timeline too) 3. need search and show all search and highlights search words
So far so good. I've kept journals since the fourth grade, and now have at least 10 volumes. But over the past decade or so, the frequency of writing has dropped to only a few times per year. Busy work schedules, young child, etc. Had been thinking of a mobile journal for some time, but had resisted due to privacy and permanence concerns (outdated platforms, etc). This is the first digital journal program/ app that I felt confident enough to try. The backup to my Google drive really helps with this. As my husband lost his father about 7 years ago, the importance of leaving behind a little legacy in the form of a journal really hit home. This app helps me to do that. It's so easy to use that I'm finding that I'm making entries far more frequently and I'm able to capture memories that otherwise would have been lost. Many thanks to the developers of this app.
The right kind of tool for the job. This is a perfect feature set for my Nexus 6 phone. The ability to export and use Markup is essential. I am using the software as a general purpose writing tool as well as a journalling tool, and the tagging features work well for that. I appreciate the ability to integrate entries with video and images. It would be good to be able to dictate using voice recognition or simple audio recording.
Does its job well I like the simplicity of the design. It does what it sets out to do, be a great journal app. It's not designed to be a full - fledged word processing system. That would just slow things down and add bloat. I love how accessible and fast this app is. Great job!
Easy to use journal app However, pass code for journal is not synced between devices. Which means someone can access the journal from another device if passcode not specifically setup on that device. Please fix this.

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- Retail banks that achieve operational excellence throughout their organizations also deliver superior financial results, according to a report released today by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
The report, titled "Operational Excellence in Retail Banking: Committing to Customers in the 'New New Normal,'" details the findings of BCG's third annual benchmarking survey of the global retail-banking industry. The survey covered 18 of the 35 top retail banks in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, collectively referred to as "premier-league" banks.
The survey found that the operationally strongest retail banks in the premier league outperform their peers financially. Banks that excelled on a wide range of operational measurements had low cost-to-income ratios (CIRs), a key measure of efficiency and profitability. The leading financial performers achieved top ranking in at least two, and frequently three, of the four levers of operational excellence identified by BCG.
The survey also revealed that the operating models of the premier-league banks as a whole have become more productive. The banks achieved these efficiency gains even as they focused more staff time and resources on meeting the needs of customers.
The leading banks exhibited five key trends in the way they improved their operations, the survey found. All five trends contribute in some fashion to enhancing customer services. The trends are: strengthening the customer experience, increasing sales performance, improving end-to-end productivity, enhancing organizational efficiency, and reducing complexity.
"Customer-centricity has been seen as a best practice for a number of years," said Robert Sims, a partner in BCG's Toronto office and coauthor of the report. "But now -- in the 'new new normal' environment -- it has become absolutely essential as far as the world's top banks are concerned."
The drive for customer-centricity was exemplified by operational changes made by premier-league banks to reduce the number and complexity of their products, the survey found. Offering fewer products and making them easier to understand minimizes customer confusion and also simplifies bank operations.
At the same time, the leading banks have improved data-mining techniques -- allowing them to create more personalized customer services while improving sales performance.
Customers, meanwhile, have become more demanding, expecting banks to provide simplified interaction processes across multiple channels, when and where the customer prefers. For banks, providing a truly integrated multichannel customer offering is now just the minimum table stakes in the competition to win business, the research found.
"Taken together, the findings demonstrate how capable and resilient the world's leading retail banks are," said Michael Grebe, a partner in BCG's Munich office and coauthor of the report. "In today's challenging financial-services environment, that is a rare positive message."
A copy of the report can be downloaded at www.bcgperspectives.com.

Dear Friends,
"The thought that someone far away is caring for us and helping us in carving a promising future for ourselves and our families is so empowering. Your help is deeply admirable. Thank You from the bottom of our heart."
~Pardada Pardadi Girls
Setting the 100% benchmark!
Following last year's trend, this year too, there was 100% pass percentage in 10th & 12th grade. 36 girls from 10th & 28 girls from 12th sat for U.P state board examinations this year. 27 Girls from 10th & 36 from 12th secured first division (60%). Girls are thrilled and excited with their results. The ecstatic bunch is ready to make a mark in their lives.
The maximum percentage scored by the girls last year was 68%. This year we are up by 6%. Manisha is this year's 12th grade topper with 74.4%. She will be joining Pardada Pardadi gang in NTTF, Bangalore soon to pursue a diploma course in Computer Applications.
Voicing the Change
The GLP panel consists of 15 members from diverse socio-cultural background, who have been living in poverty and had experienced extreme marginalization. All the panelists presented their responses and recommendations on the post-2015 global development framework (post MDG'S). All the panellists presented their responses and recommendations on the post-2015 global development framework (post MDG'S). A copy of the report will be presented to the government.
She dreams of becoming a computer engineer and wants to set up her own business to help other girls who want to study. Pinki envisions a world which is free from poverty and discriminative practices towards girls and boys.
Serving the community
Pardada Pardadi in collaboration with International Medical Relief (IMR) organized a week long rural health camp in 6 villages of Anupshahr held from 23rd -28th June this year. The camp was a huge success! Over 60 volunteers including PPES' staff, senior students and girls pursuing nursing course participated in the camp. It was a great learning opportunity for the girls to apply their nursing knowledge in the real world.
Youth Festival: Celebrating and Saluting Young Talent
The event witnessed healthy exchange of ideas/learnings through debates, extempore, painting/poster making competitions and mono- acting performances done by the students.
Besides the competitions, there were games, workshops and field trips for the participants. Ms. Taruna from Pardada Pardadi spoke to the girls about Human Rights while Ms. Mitra from J.P.Vidya Mandir taught the girls the use of appliqué work in Handicraft. Issues such as Dowry and the increased use of Mobile Phones were well depicted in the Mono-acting competition. The event concluded on an enthusiastic note with a promise to return next year.
Independence Day Celebrations
The 67th Independence Day celebrations kicked off with full fervour and patriotic feeling at the school. The function started with the hoisting of the flag within the school premises, followed by group song and dance performances by the girls. Distribution of traditional Indian sweets concluded the day on a promising and sweet note.
Same day, 50 students (10th -12th grade) joined hands with 450 other students and participated in a march Celebrating the Independence Day. Over 500 students from 10-12 government/private schools participated in the rally. Two of Pardada Pardadi girls- Manisha (12th grade) and Shivani (10th grade)were felicitated for securing top positions in UP board Exmainations.

Rio Ferdinand to QPR: 'He is not expensive' says Harry Redknapp who remains confident of concluding deal for former Manchester United defender
The former England international has been working as a pundit with the BBC during the World Cup
Tuesday 15 July 2014
QPR manager Harry Redknapp is confident of finalising a deal for Rio Ferdinand, insisting the former Manchester United defender is keen to move to Loftus Road.
Ferdinand has been working for the BBC at the World Cup in Brazil for the past month but Redknapp will resume talks upon his return.
The 35-year-old, who has won six league titles, two League Cups, one Champions League and a Club World Cup, left United after his contract was not renewed at the end of last season.
Redknapp told talkSPORT on Tuesday: "He arrives back today so I am going to meet him and hopefully we can get it sorted.
"He has not been difficult to deal with. He wants to play and he is not expensive.
"He wants to come and play at QPR now so hopefully we can get it done."
QPR are also reported to be interested in Tottenham defender Michael Dawson, whom Redknapp worked with while he was in charge at White Hart Lane.
"I like Michael," Redknapp said.
"He is a top player and a great lad as well. You would have Michael in your team any day of the week but we haven't made any offers for Michael."

Hugh on earth is that? Star's SIX roles in one film... and not one of them is a stuttering rom-com toff!
- Takes on the plethora of roles in new £65 million film Cloud Atlas
- Roles include the head of a cannibal chief and the boss of a nuclear plant
- Said he enjoyed playing character who 'does a lot of pillaging and throat-slitting'
- The film also stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Skyfall star Ben Wishaw
Hugh Grant has played the archetypal romantic fop so many times that even he jokes that he has only got one string to his bow.
But now the Love Actually star has proved his critics wrong by taking on no fewer than six wildly different roles in his new film, Cloud Atlas.
Grant looks unrecognisable as many of the characters, especially as the head of a murderous cannibal tribe that terrorises a post-apocalyptic Hawaii.
Scroll down to watch the trailer
Killer look: Hugh Grant plays six roles in the film Cloud Atlas, including cannibal tribesman Kona Chief, which required two hours in makeup
Pillaging: Grant, who also plays the manager of a futuristic diner, said he reveled in the chance to do some 'pillaging and throat-slitting' in the film
It took two hours every day to transform an actor best known for playing stuttering upper-class romantic leads into the 'spectacularly evil' Kona Chief, with terrifying body paint and tattoos.
Grant, 52, said: 'I was quite intrigued by the story, which is brilliant, but I would have done it just for the chance to be cannibal chief who does a lot of pillaging and throat-slitting.
'There wasn't much throat-slitting in Sense And Sensibility.'
Grant also plays a 19th Century clergyman, the sinister boss of a nuclear plant, a hotel 'heavy', an elderly publisher who breaks out of a tyrannical care home, and the manager of a futuristic diner.
The plot comprises six interlinked storylines spanning more than 500 years, and most actors in the film – including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving and Skyfall star Ben Whishaw – play different characters in the various strands.
Not so suave: Grant, playing care home Denholme Cavendish, left, is most well-known for his rom-com roles
Grant quipped: 'When they offered me these parts I thought, "Yes, I can show people I have got more strings to my bow than just one." But a) I was wrong and b) it's just sitting in make-up having plastic applied to your face for hours.'
But the star said playing the cannibal had been his favourite, joking: 'I've kept the costume. I slip into it sometimes of an evening just to watch the telly. I feel comfortable like that.'
His transformations were so convincing that co-star Jim Broadbent – who appeared alongside Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary – said he realised it was Grant only when the actor swore at him.
True to type: As nuclear plant boss Lloyd Hooks, Grant is back to his usual self
The £65 million adaptation of novelist David Mitchell's 2004 epic is the most expensive independent movie ever, but has divided opinion.
It earned a ten-minute standing ovation at last year's Toronto Film Festival, but some critics have accused the film – which runs for almost three hours – of rambling.
However, several reviewers singled out Grant for praise, and one said he was 'clearly having a blast' playing the villains.
Cloud Atlas opens in the UK on February 22.

Race Day
... After a celebratory drink we made our way back to the bus stop and managed to buy some tickets this time. The younger generation slept the whole journey , anyone would have thought they had done a triathlon. We stocked up at the supermarket with BBQ food and more beer, before returning back to base camp. As usual Duncan was in charge of an excellent BBQ and I wrongly thought we had bought too much food and drink. Evening games ended a very successful day ...
... old town, got the bikes and explored the old harbour area. We rode back to the hotel, and were easily faster than the cars caught in heavy traffic along the coastal road. A couple of huge ferries came into port. Passengers, cars, motor homes and trucks disembarking. We got a pizza and ate it down on the beach. It's been a hot day and we're tired from the early start, but it's a beautiful night, and we watched the fisherman at the end of the beach and the snorkelers just out in the ...

... stocked. We returned to Geneva in the afternoon by which time the roads had been shut so an enormous traffic jam made it slow progress but eventually we parked the car and Graham racked his bike and went for a practice swim. The enormous GB team gathered for the parade and we managed to meet up with Simon and Elly having successfully completed their 12 day cycle down the Rhine to Basel and getting the train to Geneva. ...

We started the day by walking down to the town centre. On our way we stopped at Manor, it was great, but there is something about foreign supermarkets that makes them much more fun.

BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to switches and, more particularly, to a light having a sealed switch interface. 2. Introduction Current light switch designs for flashlights include toggle, rotary, slide or push button switches. In each of these designs, the manufacturer often tries to seal the switch from exposure to the elements. This exposure to the elements leads tocorrosion of the contacts, which in turn leads to switch failure. To accomplish the task of sealing the switch, the manufacturer houses the switch inside of the light housing with the user interface protruding through the housing. For toggle and pushbutton switches, a membrane is used to protect the switch. For switches that include a protruding knob or bezel, an o-ring is used to provide a seal. The slide switch provides no protection at all. The shortcomings of these designs include tearing ofthe membrane or abrasion of the o-ring, which results in a non-waterproof environment for the switch. Other shortcomings to these switch designs include small user interfaces, exclusive use of either right or left hand operation and switch stops thatare easily damaged, corroded or clogged.SUMMARY A portable light system having a sealed switch, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
