Even though summer should feel like a time of no schedules and no plans... in fact, we know (as parents who also work full-time) that summer means that every day needs to be planned and arranged in advance. But the tenor of summer permits extra pockets of time to appear magically. Maybe it's the extra-long days, perhaps it's the slower pace of everyone's work schedules, maybe it's the extra energy we all have from this amazing season of vitamin D, I don't know, but I find myself answering "yes" to last-minute ideas so much more during these loose days of summer.

For this reason, we decided to try something new this month: we're offering walk-in hours every Friday for preliminary design consultations! Each Friday in July, we'll be available from 12 - 7pm, ready to answer your preliminary questions about engagement rings, heirloom redesigns, and other creative projects you may have in mind. We can answer general budget questions, brainstorm ideas, and talk through what the next steps would look like for your idea. Please note this isn't a great fit if you have many different pieces you want to be reworked - we highly suggest making an appointment if that's the case. 

Additionally, we'll celebrate my favorite time of year (yes, I'm a #lovesummerhateeverythingelse type of girl) with a major Summer Sale! For the entire month of July, we're taking 30 percent off our in-stock collection. This includes our gorgeous Artemer pieces, Tura Sugden cuffs, and anything else in our showroom. Because we're always looking for a way to give back, we'll be donating $100 from each purchase to your choice of one of our four favorite local charities - and the charity that raises the most money at the end of the month will have their total doubled, from us! And yes, feel free to drop by and shop on Fridays. No appointment is necessary.

We're looking forward to a long, peaceful summer with plenty of outdoor evening cocktails, daytime swims, and all the tomatoes, summer berries, and peaches. We also look forward to your creative design ideas, so stop by! We'll be here (for July).
