Let the holiday shopping season begin!

Well, the Thanksgiving spread has come and gone, the chaos of Black Friday has calmed until next year, and the holiday shopping season is officially upon us!

We hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving, but now it’s time to figure out what you’re getting everyone! Have no fear, Real Jewels is making it easier than ever for you to shop from home in your PJs.

Because you’ve been so nice this year, we got you something a little early–-

Tell a friend about Real Jewels when you visit our Tell A Friend page and receive a code for 10% off your first purchase!

Or how about free ground shipping on all orders?

Just our way of saying, “Happy Holidays!” to you.

Here at Real Jewels, we love the planet (remember, we exclusively use 100% recycled sterling silver and 14 karat gold in our jewelry!), but we also love our customers…please feel free to call us any day from 9AM-5PM EST at 1-866-302-0409 or E-mail us at cutomercare@real-jewels.com any time!

Showing our thanks the best way we know how...

“Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.”
-E.P. Powell

With Thanksgiving upon us, we here at Real Jewels wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU, our loyal customers. In the days to come, we hope to get to know you better through this blog and our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

But, we didn’t just want to TELL you how thankful we are, we wanted to SHOW you! So, right now, when you tell a friend about Real-Jewels.com, we’ll thank you by giving you 10% off your first purchase (and we have a pretty funny feeling there are a lot of people you could show your gratitude to with a beautiful piece of jewelry).

Not the online shopping type? Come say hello to us in person at the Eco Holiday Marketplace! We’ll be there this coming Friday (11/27), Saturday (11/28), and Sunday (11/29) from 12PM-7PM. The marketplace is located at 2 Great Jones Street NYC between Broadway and Lafayette and features lots of wonderful green companies showing their wares in a great space.



Please stop by the marketplace…we’d love to meet you! And, as an added incentive (hey, we never claimed to be above bribery!), if you tell us you heard about us on this blog, Facebook, or Twitter, you’ll get 10% off your first Real Jewels marketplace purchase! Just our way of saying thanks!

Real Jewels wants to know what YOU’RE thankful for! E-mail us this week at us at RealJewelsBlogger@gmail.com with whatever you’re most thankful for this holiday season. We’ll feature our favorites on this blog next week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Stay real,

A little bit about us...

“We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life; it is because we tire of our responsibility.”
-Cyril Connolly

Now that the blog is up and running, we here at Real Jewels think it only fair to tell you a little bit about our company!

While one of our goals is to, of course, create unique pieces for you to enjoy, what you may not realize is that our jewels are just as beautiful “on the inside” as they are on the outside.

All of our jewelry is “responsibly made” exclusively from recycled precious metals and fair trade sustainable gems. In addition, you can have the assurance that the person who made your necklace, bracelet, or earrings was paid fairly and crafted your jewelry in a healthy, safe work environment here in the USA. We do not outsource any of our manufacturing to large, offshore factories. Instead, we manufacture our jewelry in small, family-run shops.

And, we don’t just talk about our moral, eco-friendly way of doing things…we also participate in the following organizations:

No Dirty Gold: http://www.nodirtygold.com

Green America: http://www.coopamerica.org

Madison Dialogue: http://www.madisondialogue.org

Now that you know some more about us…we’d love to get to know more about YOU! E-mail us at RealJewelsBlogger@gmail.com and let us know what you’d like to read on this very blog!

Until next time…

Stay real,

The Real Jewels Team
