What does a three carat diamond ring priced at over $44,000 look like?
Just because the Merriam-Webster online dictionary does not recognize the word "sparkliest," doesn't mean it isn't a word. Trenton Jewelers owner and jewelery designer Wayne McDermitt said he uses "sparkliest" to describe diamonds all the time. For example, McDermitt considers one of his most expensive pieces of jewelery to be one of the "sparkliest" in the store. McDermitt designed and made a three carat diamond ring with over one carat of diamonds in the setting--priced at $44,500. McDermitt's said his three carat wonder is a hearts and arrows cut diamond of the finest quality with SI2 clarity and D color--which is another way of saying the diamond is visually flawless and has the highest degree of whiteness on the diamond grading scale…

Trenton-Grosse Ile Patch asks The Framery and Gallery employee Lynn Gardner what's the most interesting project in the shop?
Lynn Gardener, employee at The Framery and Gallery, thought long and hard about the most interesting item she'd ever framed. She scratched her head, squinted her eyes and suddenly it came to her. The most interesting item she'd ever framed wasn't framed at all and was sitting on a work station just a few feet away. "It's the first time I've ever put three jerseys in the same frame," Gardener said. Gardener was about halfway through the framing process of three aged jerseys for a former classmate of hers, Eric Turin. Turnin wanted The Framery to frame three of his most prized possessions--his youth baseball jersey, high school baseball Jersey and college baseball jersey. The former Grosse Ile High School Red Devil played college baseball at…

A new business in Downtown Trenton gives customers a unique chance to bond with man's best friend.
Colleen Medere, 48, of Woodhaven began grooming her dogs herself as a way to save money and it, eventually, turned into a hobby. After spending years grooming her two dogs, a Great Dane mix and a Boxer mix, Medere decided to turn her hobby into Trenton's first self-wash and full-service pet grooming salon when she purchased a vacant 100-year-old house in Downtown Trenton and opened Bubble Puppy on Feb. 13. "I decided to go all in," Medere said. Bubble Puppy, 2505 W. Jefferson Ave., allows pet owners to wash their dogs using a large grooming station. The grooming station has the capability to spray water, set to just the right temperature, shampoo and conditioner. There's also a high-powered blower and towels to finish the job. Medere said …

In October 2011, the former manager of Cheeks Sports Bar and Grill painted a mural on the side of the building that residents called offensive and too risque.
The sign above the door as you walk into C Dogz, formerly Cheeks Sports Bar & Grill, announces a new era for the historically controversial bar--"UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT." In October 2011, the former manager of Cheeks Sports Bar and Grill painted a mural on the side of the building that residents called offensive and too risque. The mural was removed after public outcry. Cheeks' name was changed to C Dogs in March 2012. Doug Mott, 32, of Newport, took over operations at C Dogz about a month ago and began pushing for a family-friendly environment that's fit for everyone. Mott said people have already begun to witness a change in the formerly risque environment. "People that come to C-Dogz now say they are going to come back with their friends …
