We're learning to grow at Lewis!

This morning we had one of the most colorful Breakfast for Champions I've ever been to! This month we talked about how to "Grow your Garden", thus we had a garden themed breakfast complete with gardening gloves, packets of seeds and even the cutest watering can you've ever seen. Our dear friend Joni was the guest speaker and she talked to the sales team about growing as a sales person. She gave them some good insight on how to be a successful personal shopper for their clients. I was also asked to give a talk about how to market yourself. When I was asked to do this I got all excited and even created a logo specifically for our talk! (see above!) All in all, it was a beautiful breakfast about how to grow as a sales person and thinking outside of the seed packet when it comes to marketing yourself!

Kimberly and Wendy created the set up.

Look at how those colors pop against the cobalt blue table cloth!

By the way, Cobalt Blue is TOTALLY in right and I'm really digging it!

 Wendy started off our breakfast with a recap of last month's meeting about Moneyball.

Here's the cutest watering can you've ever seen!

The goodies that are going to help us grow!

A Peek Inside Roberto Coin's Factory

Last week Cindy and Slade traveled across the world to Vicenza, Italy to visit the Roberto Coin Factory! Vicenza is known as The City of Gold... how appropriate! (Vicenza is knows for its goldsmith craftmanship!)  Roberto Coin founded the company in 1977, but it wasn't until 1996 that the Roberto Coin brand was launched and gained quick success. Headquarters are located in Vicenza so the opportunity to visit is one that Cindy and Slade couldn't pass up! Here are some pictures from their visit:

Yes, that's gold!

 Here's your future Roberto Coin piece! 

Setting Diamonds...

 Here's Cindy and Roberto Coin!

 How interesting is this jewelry sketch by Roberto Coin? Look at all the details!

Here's a view of the pool at their hotel. Anybody else have the sudden urge to swim??

And it wouldn't be an Italian trip without some beautiful scenic photos of Venice, Verona and Vicenza!

Mother's Day Commercial

Our new Mother's Day Commercial airs today in the Houston area! We are SO excited to share it with you since it's our first commercial at our new location. And even more importantly, it's the first commercial we've done that features our very own customers! 

For Mother's Day we thought Heather and Nancy would be perfect since they have such a special bond and a tradition that involves jewelry! 

Here are a few behind the scenes pictures from the shoot! It was a long, but fabulous day! 

One of the best parts about doing a testimonial commercial without a script is the great outtake footage! 

You don't have to be Angelina...

To get her engagement ring! We have one that's very, very similar here at Lewis. And since I'm mentioning celeb engagement rings, I went ahead and chose a few more that we have in stock!

Color Mix No. 2

I read that yellow is officially in this season. How fun are these bright and sunny pants?? If you're going to go bold with yellow pants why not go extra bold with red lips as well?! And while you're at it, go ahead and mix your metals! Classy red lips paired with eclectic jewelry screams confidence and it's always nice to exude confidence at work.

The First Week

Things have been a little crazy around Lewis lately... We finally moved! After months of anticipation the moment to pack up and move finally came! We all did some superhero moves and got everything packed during the week and in two days we moved everything over to our new location. That's right people, TWO DAYS. So here's a tiny glimpse into our move and first week at our new location. We're extremely excited to finally get to share the store with our customers!

 Friday, April 13 - Cindy and Slade got the permit to move in! WOOWHOO!!

 Saturday, April 14 - Some boxes had already been transported to the new store, but the jewelry... that was a different story. We had to wait for an armored car... 

 The armored car finally came!

And everything precious was loaded!

Saturday evening - Time to get some boxes unpacked!

Monday, April 16 - Our first day in the new store! Lisa and her first customer!

Some of our first shoppers! 

We had a fantastic first day and some seriously satisfied customers!

Here's the ever-preicious Mrs. Lewis standing in front of her picture from the original opening of Lewis Jewelers in 1981.

3 Ways to Wear It - Roberto Coin

We got some new Roberto Coin pieces this past week! The blue aquamarine necklace below is bright and brilliant in person. Not to mention extremely versatile! I'm thinking this piece of jewelry could be worked into any workwear outfit!

As a belt!

As a long necklace!

Doubled as a short necklace!
