Annual Jewelry Summer Sale starts Thursday!

Carreras Jewelers is holding its annual Jewelry Summer Sale July 26-28. It’s a chance to get out of the summer heat and shop for an stunning new piece of jewelry. During the sale, you will save between 30%-70% on fabulous earrings, necklaces, rings, pendants and other fine jewelry.

Let us give you a taste of what will be up for grabs at amazing prices during our Jewelry Summer Sale with these three stunning pieces of jewelry. They would be a nice addition to any women’s jewelry collection.

 

 

This Cherie Dori 14KT yellow gold and diamond “ribbon” pendant is a great transitional piece.  Wear it during the work week, on the weekend to hop around the avenues, or out to dinner with your favorite date.  It features three satin-finish ribbon circles with round diamond accents. It’s a unique and exquisite pendant. Regular price: $1850.  Jewelry Summer Sale price: $740

 

 

Our Christophe Danhier 18KT white gold “Candide” aquamarine, sapphire and diamond ring is a stunner.  It features one center emerald cut aquamarine flanked by 54 round faceted blue sapphire. The ring is accented with 10 full-cut diamond melee. It will sparkle and shine on any woman’s finger. Regular price: $4965  Jewelry Summer Sale price: $1986

 

 

 

These Kabana sterling silver white Mother-of-Pearl dangle earrings feature a pair of marquise-shaped drops with white Mother-of-Pearl inlay and are finished with posts and friction backs for pierced ears. Kabana is known as the Master of Inlay and it is easy to see why once you feel the smoothness of these earrings.  Regular price: $495   Jewelry Summer Sale price: $198

Who wouldn’t want an extra $100 to spend? As part of the Jewelry Summer Sale, we’re giving away a $100 gift card. You’re entered into a drawing with each purchase at Carreras. The more you buy…the more chances you have to win!!   The winner will be announced July 30.

 

Save 20% on Jewelry Repairs and Appraisals!

Carreras Jewelers is holding its annual jewelry repair event from July 16-31. Save 20% on jewelry repair (excluding watches), pearl restringing, insurance appraisals, and custom jewelry design work.   

Jewelry Repair work includes: 

  • Re-size, clean and polish rings
  • Re-set, tighten or replace stones
  • Refurbish mountings, re-tip and replace prongs
  • Shorten or lengthen chains
  • Change clasps
  • Solder charms
  • and more!

Have you been procrastinating getting that necklace restrung? It’s recommended that you restring a pearl necklace regularly, as the string can become worn out and break easily. Pearls that are worn often should be restrung yearly, and pearls that are worn only on special occasions should be restrung every two to three years.

Other pearl jewelry work includes:

  • Tighten and strengthen your old or damaged strand of pearls
  • Restyle and update your design
  • Restring your colorful beads and dye the silk to blend with your beads

Are you looking to create a piece of custom jewelry?  Our team will work with you and redesign a current piece or build a new piece from scratch.  We can even design jewelry to match a current piece in your collection, and during the sale, the work is being offered at a 20% discount.

Update your Jewelry Insurance Appraisals at a 20% discount during the sale (up to 10 items). You will need to call and make an appointment with Tami Toms, our Certified Gemologist and Certified Gemologist Appraiser. By choosing an AGS-certified Appraiser, you can rest assured that you’re working with a professional who has been trained and certified. Our appraiser will thoroughly inspect your jewelry and get you a value that is as accurate as possible.  We recommend getting your jewelry appraised by us every three to five years to update your insurance policy so you will be covered in the case of loss, or to get a measurement on your investment.

For more information or to schedule your appraisals, call 804-282-7018.
