Fun in the summertime

Wow, summer is so much fun! Even though I meant to put some new stuff here, there were barbecues, vacations, out-of-town guests and walks through Central Park. We have had a great month in the magazines with People StyleWatch featuring our new Chunky Necklace and the ever-popular Potato Chip Earrings. The necklace is lightweight hand-poured resin and comes in 2 colors. If you act fast, we've got a promo code where you can save 20% and of course, if you spend $75 or more the shipping is free.

So, what  is your  favorite summer hideaway? One of mine is Lake George, N.Y. where you can stay in the Sagamore Hotel. It's on an island in the lake, and you have the cool fresh water at your feet. Of course, there is a great staff to bring you drinks and snacks while you are enjoying the view, and lots of restaurants and activities if you are so inclined. We always rent a motor boat to cruise the waters and explore some of the little teeny islands that dot the lake everywhere.  

Fort Ticonderoga, New York



We also visited Fort Ticonderoga, namesake of the famous Dixon Ticonderoga Pencil. They have a museum in town devoted to the (long gone) graphite industry and the Dixon mines and factories that made this pencil years ago. 

We were delighted they have a few advertising and promotional pieces designed by my father when Dixon was his account. His drawings of the fort and revolutionary war hero Ethan Allen were right there, and the ladies running the museum were very happy we told them our stories about how these pieces were created.

When I got home, we received news from Japan that one of their hottest magazines, Classy Wedding, was featuring Roberta Chiarella Jewelry.

The diamond cut CZ is a real wedding favorite and is a hot seller in Japan, so it was great to see it on the cover. It gave me an idea to feature it and offer a discount, it's not every day we get Japanese magazine coverage, although Japan is our second biggest market and we ship there nearly every day.

Another great CZ earring, the Perfect Stud, was featured in Good Housekeeping. This dazzling earring is always in demand and is an unbelievable buy at $28! You've got to check out People StyleWatch, we've had such a great feature in this magazine with the Chunky Necklace and to top it off we are running a special promotion with them to offer 20% savings with the People StyleWatch promo code. This is a must-read for summer and belongs in your tote bag when you go to the beach or the park.

You'll want to relax and go slow in the hot weather we've been having, and sometimes a simple white outfit is the best thing to wear. But, to look good on hot summer nights you need some summery accessories, and we've got them all for you. Resin jewelry is bright, light and easy to own.
