Race For The Cure NYC 2008

Unless you were out of town (or just plain out of it) you know that Mother Nature treated NYC to a brilliant day on Sunday, September 14th. Lucky for us The Greenwich Jewelers gals, along with some clients, friends and family members, were a part of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in beautiful Central Park. It was a great day; there were thousands of runners and walkers, many other teams, even kids & pets that had come together for one great cause.

The Greenwich Jewelers 'Make Life Sparkle!' Team (pictured here) raised $3500 in donations with the support of generous clients, friends and family members. See the hot pink papers we are wearing in the picture? These were placards that proclaimed "I walk in celebration of/in memory of" and allowed us to walk in honor of someone whose life had been touched by breast cancer. I think we all were humbled by the strength and commitment of the survivors and supporters who out in full force on Sunday. It was also exciting to see 'Sex and the City' star Cynthia Nixon & channel 2 news anchor Maurice DuBois who were on hand for the opening ceremonies.

We are eagerly looking forward to participating in the 2009 Race For The Cure and hope we can convince YOU to walk with us. Thanks again for all the support!

Sparklingly yours,

Guilt-Free Jewelry!

Each month Greenwich Jewelers does our part to "Make Life Sparkle" by offering you the chance to win a piece of jewelry from one of our supa cool designer collections. September's bauble is the 18K gold vermeil 'Frida' necklace by Arena CPH. It has just the right mix of sweet & chic to be your grab & go, wear with everything piece for fall. Here's a picture, I can just see you wearing it with everything from a fab floral dress to cozy cashmere cardigan in the months ahead. Enter here.

So, what is Arena CPH? The CPH stands for Copenhagen where the Danish design team hails from. The company has gathered some of Scandinavia's most talented jewelry designers and asked them to design a capsule collection that is meant to work as a complete collection when shown alongside their fellow designers' pieces. Inspiration comes from "minimalist Scandinavian design traditions and strong graphic expressions." Translated that means the collection is full of simple and stylish pieces that can be worn season after season. To view the entire Arena CPH collection at Greenwich Jewelers click here.

There's a fun (and a little abstract) video From Copenhagen Fashion Week '08 featuring Arena CPH design team member Katrine Kristensen and managing director Mads Rostbjerg. See it here

Well, good luck my fellow Sparkle-istas! I'll be back soon...

Sparklingly yours,
