Stand by Your Brand: With Local Jewelry Designers!

As consumers we get the most bang for our buck when we spend our hard earned cash at local businesses.  Did you know the facts behind why cities all over the nation are promoting: SHOP LOCAL campaigns? 

Here's the facts:
For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $68 stays in the local economy
 compared to only $43 if spent at a national chain.

So as you can see we ALL can make a difference and greatly impact the communities where we live.

In an effort to take "local" to another level, you can give the gift of lovely jewelry,
 hand-crafted by lovely Artists right here in Seattle.
