Our selection has something for everyone and is definitely worth a look. Let’s go shopping!
August Birthstone - Peridot
If August were a gemstone it definitely would be peridot and it just so happens that it’s the August birthstone! I think of August as the hottest month, the month that you start longing for fall, and the month that everything in Florida seems to be at its peak in greenness. Peridot as a gemstone embodies all those traits for me. It has a vivid lime green color that makes me think of pool floaties, cut lime wedges in cold beverages, and the lime green summer dresses that makes your tan look deeper. The green color is also a wonderful transition color from summer to fall.
Fine Jewelry Sale & Showcase
Fine jewelry is personal. Each person is emotionally drawn to jewelry for certain reasons. We tend to relate our fine jewelry to memories and experiences, as well as our overall personal style preference. For instance, pearls may make you reminisce about your wedding day, your grandmother’s ring that was left to you may make you reflect back to childhood, and those diamond earrings instill confidence from the time you wore them for that big presentation and nailed it. The fine jewelry you love and wear should speak to you, should inspire you, should be a part of you and your heart.
This week we want to celebrate the personal side of fine jewelry and our wonderful staff at the same time. Our team of jewelry experts have picked their top favorites from our store, which is a hard feat in and of itself with so many beautiful things to choose from. We are going to present to you a gorgeous showcase of our favorites and if a certain piece of fine jewelry speaks to you, we have a deal that will speak to you too!
If you love looking at jewelry and love listening to your heart resonate with sparkling pieces, you too can pick your favorites by creating a wish list. Not only can this wish list be saved and added to, you can email or share it via social media to drop a hint for a potential birthday, Christmas, anniversary or “just because” gift. Be sure to create one and let us know so we can see your favorites too!
