On May 17th, I had the opportunity to attend an Artinian Gem Show, hosted at our very own Day’s store in Augusta. A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak with David Artinian, the mind behind these gem shows, for a previous blog post (check it out here), and I was very excited to go to one of these shows, to see the reality of all the research I’ve done and the conversations I’ve had with David. Let me tell you something: pictures of gemstones don’t do justice to the real thing. ...

As a college graduate- not a recent one, I may add- it seems almost surreal to reflect on my time in high school. It doesn’t seem possible that so much time has passed since I graduated not only from college, but even longer ago- from high school. It’s a strange, nostalgic window of time to reflect upon, a time period that feels so far away but in actuality, wasn't. What sticks with me most poignantly are some of the precious gifts I received when I graduated from high school. They're items that I still have, and have memories attached to, items that have certainly lasted longer than I was in high school! To celebrate the high school graduates in your life, Day's has put together a collection of gift ideas for those 2019 seniors, ranging from fine jewelry to watches to accessories, all items to make that transition to adulthood feel special. ...

With the start of a new season comes new trends in all kinds of categories: food, fashion, shoes, handbags. 2019 has some great jewelry trends popping up in haute couture, and at Day’s, we’re excited to share those trends with you while keeping wearability in mind. Ch-ch-ch-chains Chunky chains can seem intimidating, but a finely crafted gold chain necklace creates a bold statement that can be paired with any outfit, no kidding! The complexity of chain necklaces can range from a simple, single strand to ornate artistic pieces. ...

Here in northern New England, from which Day’s Jewelers is based, the spring moves in slowly. For the first month, it’s not surprising to see snow on a regular basis. Like clockwork, the snow gives way to rain, and almost overnight, the grass begins to grow deep shades of green, and life springs up all over the place. By the start of May, it’s like an enormous emerald blanket has been shaken out and settled down onto the earth. It’s lovely. No wonder then, that the birthstone of May shares in the beauty. This month’s birthstone is the color of that new spring life – Emerald. Emerald has as rich and ...
