Sterling Silver & Gold Vermeil TRUNK SHOW!

Our biannual sterling silver and gold vermeil trunk show starts tomorrow. The selection includes: many, many exciting and new clasps, beads, pendants, fancy headpins, earring findings, etc. The holidays are upon us, so take advantage of the sale and make your jewelry and gifts truly one-of-a-kind!

Trunk show dates: Nov. 4th—7th at Roseville and Nov. 8th at Folsom.

What is a trunk show? We borrow inventory from our vendor for a short period of time and this allows us to showcase a much larger selection. Since we don’t have to purchase and stock this large amount of merchandise you save an average of 30%.

Don’t miss out on this exciting show.
