It's that time again...

for a NEW LOCATION update! I went by the new store yesterday to take some pictures and I was excited to see the store finally coming together! It's looking reaaaaaal good!

I posted this picture on facebook and had our friends guess what part of the store it was.

Whoever guessed that it was our Rolex boutique was absolutely correct!

We finally have the showroom cases installed!



The move-in date is oh, so close! We can hardly wait!

Watch Wednesday - Bold Brights

Isn't it funny how some things remind you of others? Well, here at Lewis, we're still on a color kick! When I came across some stunningly colorful internet finds, I immediately thought of all the colorful watches we have in store.




How fun is a bright pop of color for your wrist??

Friday Funk

Hello There! It's been a while since my last post here on The Lewis Loupe, but I'm excited to tell you that I've been super busy working on a video to share with you all and... planning for our Lewis Jewelers website facelift! I know, I know... a new store AND a new website?! YES! Even though I've been super busy these days, I never stop getting inspired. The April issue of W Magazine came in the other day and it was full of inspirational ways to wear jewelry.

Check out her Yurman bracelet!
We have similar ones in the store!
David Yurman cuffs and a John Hardy ring.

I was instantly excited to see Jessica Biel wearing Yurman, but the image below got me even more excited. I love the chunky and funky quality that comes with how these rings are paired. SO STINKIN' COOL. Anybody who can wear that many rings is a badbutt in my book!

So naturally, I got to stylin'.

Even if this look isn't for you, I think each ring has so much personality that one would do! So how do you feel about this trend... Is it a do or a don't?

New Location Update / Part 2 / The Back

So here's the second part to The New Location Update post from the other day! I have yet to show you guys what the back of our new store is going to look like and, frankly, had I shown you anything I'm not sure it would've been completely understood. It would've just looked like a bunch of big rooms.... let me put an emphasis on BIG! Incredibly, the back of our store is almost as big as the showroom floor! We are so elated to be able to say that everything we do here at Lewis has a spacious room designed to serve its purpose. We have a huge room for our jewelers, a room for our watchmakers and a polishing room! Not to mention a full size kitchen! YIPEE! So, for the first time ever, here's a sneak peek of where all the behind the scenes magic is going to take place!

 Soon enough, this back office will have desks!

 Here's Ashley and Jeff the Jeweler in his new workspace!

 Watchmakers area. 

 The polishing room. 

Our kitchen! We're waiting for our cabinets to be finished and all the appliances. 

 The glass office!

 Here's a shot of our guest bathroom. The tile is beautiful! Even though this bathroom is in the front of the store in the guest area, I thought it should still make it on the post!

The beautiful ceiling! I can't get over the lights!

And that's it for the two part post! Since the opening of our new store is coming up be on the lookout for even more New Location Updates. We want to keep you guys as informed as we possibly can because we love to share the excitement!

New Location Update / Part 1 / The Showroom Floor

We had our Thursday meeting at the new location today and boy, oh boy we are SO excited. From the very beginning, up to this point, there has been SO MUCH PROGRESS! The store is even more beautiful than I imagined it to be and it's so exciting to be part of such a progressive moment for Lewis! So here's the first part of a two part post! Below, I introduce you to our (almost complete) showroom floor...

 Welcome!

 Remember what it looked like in the beginning?



 Slade showing us where the glass cases will be. Sidenote: Isn't Wendy's jacket awesome?!

The store lights are one of the coolest features! Watch this video to see why! 

 Even the floor sparkles!


How glamorous and modern is the ceiling?? 

The Lewis Team!

 We can't wait until our customers get to experience the store in person! And so, the countdown to our move begins! We have exactly ONE MONTH to go!
