September 09, 2019As lab-grown diamonds become more prevalent in mainstream jewelry, there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding the gems.

April 08, 2019Hundreds of years ago, Easter started as a celebration to usher in the arrival of spring. Pagans celebrated the vernal equinox, the day signifying the start of spring and a day on which day and night were in perfect balance.

April 01, 2019April showers bring May flowers. It’s an adage we’ve all heard, and for us in New England, those April showers don’t just help the land to bloom, but it melts the snow! Spring is such a reflective time, waiting for the snow to melt, for the mud to clear, for the shoots to start pushing up out of the ground.

To get you through those last dregs of winter, Day’s has a gorgeous collection of pieces that reflect those April showers. Pretty Blue Diamon ...Read more »
