We’re so incredibly excited for the upcoming Jamie Joseph event! Online February 10th-12th and in store February 11th. This is THE time to bring your sweetie and pick out something special- and yes, it is totally encouraged, accepted and awesome if you are your own sweetie this Valentines day. I always say there’s no cooler gift then one you buy for yourself!
It’s always difficult to anticipate and narrow down all the amazing one-of-a-kind pieces that we will have. Last Jamie Joseph trunk show I fell in love with earrings AND a ring. Sheesh…who do I think I am, Fergie?
Below are some things that I like to remind myself in preparation for a Trunk Show, especially one like Jamie Joseph where there are so many variables. And, of course the wild card ring that if you don’t own it and wear it everyday you will probably die. Yeah, it’s a very serious thing that happens sometimes. It’s both painful and amazing.
DISCLAIMER: These are just helpful tips that we use, but when you find the right piece, you know!
Know your colors: Instead of the “I want only a purple ring approach” come in to the store knowing what it is you own and never wear. The shapes that you’re not crazy about. Knowing what you don’t want will help make your decision a lot easier.
Come prepared: Take inventory of what you already own. What are you missing? What do you have but never wear?
Go with a Friend: Trunk shows are like visual crack. Bring a friend and have her wear your favorite piece around the store for a few minutes. Andrea and I do this ALL THE TIME. It allows you to get a different perspective on the piece and usually results in a decision! If you see her walking around and in five minutes you can’t live without it… you know!
Know your Budget:Be prepared with a loose budget that you want to stay in.It is important to note that with one of-of-a-kind pieces like these, it’s totally okay to splurge a little.
Get Mani’s and Mimosas Before: Pretty hands are nice for trying on rings, and Mimosas are a classy way to drink before 11 am.
Ask the Experts: If you are deciding between two: ask one of our beautiful/talented sales associates which one is more unique.For example, if you are deciding between a boulder opal and a black onyx, there is a good possibility that we can reorder a onyx one for you that will be very similar. Stones with unique characteristics are very hard to re-create!
Dress to Impress: The outfit you wear can easily influence the jewelry your going to buy: wear your favorite clothing items. This way you can see what your NEW favorite ring looks like with your favorite looks!
