Helzberg Diamonds

I stopped into Helzberg Diamonds to get a battery for my watch last Thursday after attending a Russian language event sponsored by the Russian language teacher at Grossmont College. I was still wearing my name tag and the sales clerks wanted to know what it was. I said it was my name in the language of an important country with a flag like this, and I sketched the Russian flag. They still had no clue. I gave them the hint, "Red Star" and they guessed China.

The number 3 on the end is a cash control method to make sure the sales clerk isn't pocketing some cash.

When I told them it was in Russian they said, "Oh, we have an "I am Loved" pin you can have in Russian." Now I don't yet know enough Russian to tell if this is even in Russian (or some other Cyrillic language). So does it really say I am loved in Russian?

If you need some jewelry and want one of these pins to go with it visit your local Helzberg Diamonds store and they will be glad to fix you up. By the way, they didn't charge me for the battery even though I didn't buy anything else.
