Clear. Your. Schedules.
We know this time of year can be busy, what with all the back-to-school prep and the end of the lazy days of summer. But trust us on this one: you're going to want to be free August 14 and 15.
Why? Oh, no big deal. Just that one of the best collections of ethically-sourced gems in the world will be in store on those days.
(Just kidding. It's a VERY big deal!)
We are thrilled to be joined by international gem hunter and gemologist David Artinian with Artinian Gems. David will be bringing gems straight from the mines of Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Tanzania — widely acknowledged to be the home of some of the most dazzling gems in the world. This is a rare chance to have access to such a wide selection of exotic gems; you won't want to miss it.
Are you drooling over aquamarine? Seeing sapphires in your sleep? Then you'll especially appreciate the chance to talk with David Artinian and get an insight into where the gems come from and the mining stories of each individual piece. David Artinian is committed to sourcing his gems ethically. This means he's willing to travel to far-flung areas of the globe to build relationships and trust with the miners themselves.
Many people worry about the sustainability and ethical practices of the gem mining industry. Dickinson Jewelers shares Artinian Gems' perspective that businesses should give back to the communities they serve, helping others to rise. We are thrilled to partner with an organization that prioritizes best practices in mining and gives back: Artinian Gems supports causes that fight human trafficking, supporting two orphanages and mentoring of adults as well as young people in Thailand. That means your purchase at our gem event will actually have twice the impact, allowing Dickinson Jewelers to continue helping charitable organizations in Calvert County and helping Artinian Gems build up people around the world.
So what can you expect from our gem event? On Aug. 14 in Dunkirk and Aug. 15 in Prince Frederick, you'll walk into our store to find cases filled with gemstones of the highest quality from around the world. You'll be able to select your gem sourced by our own gem hunter and brought from his own personal collection. You can even arrange to meet with our jewelry designer to create a one-of-a-kind piece, just as unique as you.
Here's a little secret just for you: we are offering 12 months interest-free financing AND $250 off a $1000 custom design mounting with the purchase of ANY loose stone during the event! A deal this good doesn't happen every day, so erase those agendas and make plans to join us August 14 and 15. We can't wait to see you!
