What is it?
Halo jewelry consists of a center stone such as a diamond or a color gemstone surrounded by diamonds.

“This is really in right now,” explained Lorraine Tunca, owner of Lorraine Fine Jewelry in Liberty Lake. “Halo jewelry can be as simple as you want or as fancy. Halo jewelry is sleek and elegant yet modern and sassy.”

Tunca said Lorraine Fine Jewelry delivers one-of-a-kind jewelry — truly every masterpiece is uniquely hand-crafted by skilled artisans.

Why is it popular?
Halo-styled jewelry is very versatile, suiting a variety of occasions from everyday life to a formal affair. The most popular halo jewelry now is a color gemstone surrounded by diamonds. The different colored gemstones evoke different feelings and emotions, and make each ring unique. Lorraine Fine Jewelry features a large variety of halo jewelry as well as loose stones to customize jewelry of all kinds.

Wow factor
The diamonds encircling the center stone really makes the center stone pop. That’s because when light hits the small circular diamonds the diamonds forward that light back to the center stone. Halo-styled jewelry traces all the way back to the Georgian Era, which lasted from 1714 to 1837.

The team at Lorraine Fine Jewelry specializes in jewelry of all kinds, including customized pieces they design in-house. They also do repair, appraisals and watch battery replacements.

The story of Liberty Lake and Greenstone

Founder, Greenstone Homes

What was it about Liberty Lake that made it ideal soil for the vision of Greenstone, and how do you view Liberty Lake as a continued part of the Greenstone identity?

When we started Greenstone as a company, some 30 years ago, the vision for the Meadowwood planned community was already in place. The real vision for the community came from Bill Main, and he is the one that attracted Hewlett Packard and provided the private funding for the initial Liberty Lake sewage treatment plant. When we started working in Liberty Lake in the early 1990s, we shared with Bill Main the vision for a mixed-use walkable community. That vision was also shared by the Schneidmiller family, which farmed and owned the land.

The circumstances that enabled the growth of Meadowwood into the Liberty Lake community were unique. A vision for the community was in place, the LLSWD had the sewer and water capacity to support growth, and, most importantly, the Schneidmiller family had the patience to see the vision though.

The early years of developing in Liberty Lake were a learning experience. A strong sense of community existed in Liberty Lake when we started development, and we saw firsthand the benefit and power of people working together to create a better community. Those early experiences helped us form an understanding of how you create lasting value in a community, and that has carried over in our work across Eastern Washington and North Idaho.

Our focus in Liberty Lake is now in the River District, where we are working hard to build on the value we see in strong communities.

From law enforcement to storage

From the beginning, Liberty Lake friends Renee DiFronzo and Betsy Legg have forged partnerships focused on security and safety.

They first teamed up working the graveyard shift on the California Highway Patrol in the 1990s. After both retired from similar career tracks that included the military and law enforcement, they saw a new way to invest their talent and training by opening Eagle Rock RV & Boat Storage together in 2017.

Among the partners’ priorities:

  • Convenience to their Liberty Lake homes (the facility is just north of the Beck Road exit near the state line)
  • A clean facility with excellent customer service and perks like electricity in every unit and flexible pricing options
  • Attention to the finer details of vehicle storage, including extra large doors and wider drive aisles for easy in-and-out access
  • A massive investment in state-of-the-art security.

“Our clients are entrusting valuable vehicles to our care, and we take that responsibility seriously,” Betsy said. “It is important to us to provide a safe and clean facility.”

In addition to indoor and outdoor vehicle storage options, the facility also offers traditional self-storage units in all sizes.

“Our backgrounds in law enforcement did a lot to prepare us to run a first-class storage facility,” Renee said. “To have the opportunity to pursue this venture with not just a like-minded professional, but a longtime friend, has made this an incredibly fulfilling venture.”

Eagle Rock RV & Boat Storage is located at 930 N. Beck Road in Post Falls.
