Jewelry. Perhaps no other purchase inspires the same combination of starry-eyed dreaming and apprehension. Joseph Molfese opened Bella Cosa Jewelers, with his wife Amy, to maximize the dreaming and eliminate the apprehension.
Their bright, spacious store is welcoming, the greeting from associates even more so. This is a place where you can pick up something as simple as a sterling silver charm to celebrate a daughter’s equestrian accomplishment or as significant as a five carat diamond to mark an anniversary. Every jewelry lover will find something here as Joseph and his team are constantly on the lookout for the collections that will be topping everyone’s wish lists.
Bella Cosa is one of a handful of jewelers to buy diamonds directly overseas. As a direct diamond importer, Joseph travels the world to look for diamonds of the best quality and find sizes and clarities that are hard to find in the United States. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world’s foremost authority on diamonds, grades all of the diamonds Joseph buys on his trips. This means that when you buy something from Bella Cosa, you can feel confident that you’re buying the best quality for the price. This supports Joseph’s philosophy, “When entering Bella Cosa Jewelers, you should see and feel confidence.”
This extends to the incredible staff. Gemologists have been GIA trained and are skilled at advising customers on not only the four Cs of color, cut, clarity, and carat weight, but also on how certain styles will work with their lifestyle.
With two full-time goldsmiths on staff, “there is always a goldsmith here,” according to Joseph. Same-day jewelry repairs are commonplace at Bella Cosa, “We always strive to make the experience better for the customer,” Joseph explains. Bella Cosa’s artisans can also hand- or machine-engrave a piece in a timely manner and perform repairs to your watches. As a Bella Cosa customer, one never has to wonder where to go for anything jewelry-related because they really can handle anything.
The goldsmiths cast jewelry on-site and create 3-D models of designs or hand-carve waxes so customers will have a true sense of the finished piece. As a direct diamond importer with more than 200 diamonds in stock, Bella Cosa can create the jewelry of your dreams, that is, if it’s not already displayed in one of the gleaming cases. Most people like to take their time when commissioning a ring or other item, but the ultra calm and capable team at Bella Cosa Jewelers can really rise to any challenge. Once a customer came in on a Tuesday night requesting a completely custom ring for a Saturday wedding, the team delivered. We took the ring from concept to “I do” in four days.
Joseph summed up the very special experience at Bella Cosa Jewelers, saying, “Our educated staff, expert knowledge, and hand-selected merchandise sets us apart, and we work very hard to make people feel special.”
At Bella Cosa Jewelers, they invite you to come in and see all of the beautiful things they’ve chosen to help celebrate your life’s beautiful moments.
