CUSTOM DIAMONDS
Costco sparkles
Costco is now o;ering customized halo diamond engagement
rings with 1.0-ct and .70-ct centers for a tailored fit and design.
These are the same high-quality diamonds and metals that Costco
o;ers in its jewelry program, at the lowest possible price.
Handcrafted by artisans, each piece will be inspected by Costco’s
team of graduate gemologists for quality of craftsmanship, as well
as the cut, color and clarity, to ensure Costco’s highest quality
standards are met. Go to Costco.com, type in “ringssc0430” in the
search box and choose style, metal type, diamond shape and ring
size. Prices vary by stone and metal.
HIPPO HURRAY!
Surprise book signing
Born six weeks premature at the Cincinnati
Zoo, Fiona the hippo captured hearts with
her small size and her mad photobombing
skills. Richard Cowdrey (right) wrote and
illustrated Fiona to capture her charm.
When the author popped into the
Deerfield, Ohio, Costco for an impromptu
signing, members were excited to meet the
man who wrote about their local celebrity.
NEW BOOK
Corduroy’s 50th
“I loved the story of Corduroy as a child, and now I love sharing it
with my daughter,” says actress—and now author—Viola Davis.
“For the book’s 50th anniversary, I wrote a companion to the
original, this time sending Corduroy backstage at the theater. As
an actress, my passion is sharing important stories and bringing
characters to life, and writing this book gave me a wonderful new
way to do just that.” Corduroy Takes a Bow (Item #1274344;
available now) can be found in most Costco warehouses.
