March Madness

Happy Spring! Here at People's Pottery, "March Madness" has nothing to do with basketball brackets and everything to do with free bracelets...from Pandora!

Make sure you stop in to receive a FREE Sterling Silver Pandora Clasp Bracelet OR Pandora Bangle Bracelet, a $65 value, with a $100 purchase; or a FREE Sterling Silver and 14k Gold Clasp Bracelet if you spend $500. These bracelets are perfect gifts for all the milestones "popping up" this Spring: Easter, Mother's Day, Graduation, birthdays, anniversaries, and just because. 

Another Pandora gift idea to stoke your Spring Fever: the ESSENCE collection, with charms that represent the values, hopes and dreams within you, your mother, your sister, your best friend, your daughter, your mentor, etc. 

Take this quiz to discover the true "Essence" of your loved ones. Then stop in to see us with your newfound knowledge, and we'll help you select the perfect gift.

One last teaser: we've planned a special evening in April for couples dreaming of the perfect ring at the perfect price. We've got a half-carat diamond to give away, an insider's glimpse into diamonds, and drinks for a relaxing evening. Stay tuned for more on DIAMONDS, DREAMS & DRINKS...you read it here first!

Never in your wildest dreams...

Kiss and Dream: fantasy ring, fantasy price

Who saw "Fifty Shades of Gray" last month?

Let us introduce you to our version, "Fifty Shades of Kiss and Dream" - rated X for X-citing, X-quisite and X-actly what you're looking for. 

Stop into Rochester's finest jewelry store or visit us online for your fantasy diamond at the price of your dreams. Engagement rings, wedding bands, upgrades for a special anniversary, or "just because"; a style from our wide selection or a completely custom design, either starting from scratch or incorporating your own diamonds. Whatever your vision, we can make it happen - all at prices that could be up to 30 percent lower than what you'll find about town, due to falling production and material costs. When quality craftsmanship, distinctive detail and certified stones meet our unrivaled diamond expertise, the result is beautiful--and budget-friendly.

We've been playing matchmaker for 20 years to make our clients' dreams come true. Stop in and see us, or give us a "ring". We can work with you to design a custom ring from your sketches, pictures or ideas at no additional cost. 

Now that's fifty shades of fantastic!

No Two Are The Same...

You might think we're talking snowflakes (if you live near our Rochester store, you have snow on your mind...and probably on your car!) but we're talking Mi Moneda, the dazzling combination of pendant, deluxe metallic and chain that add up to a unique piece of jewelry that makes a perfect gift. Our friend Roberta - you might recognize her wrist from our Pandora post - had the chance to build her own Mi Moneda last week in the store.

First, she chose the pendant.

Next, she chose the metallic. Check out our selection in the background!

Finally, she chose the chain. Cha-CHING!

 The result: a custom piece that she can wear with everything!

Enjoy your Mi Moneda, Roberta! And for the rest of you - we'd love to help you create your custom piece of this very popular line, sold exclusively at People's Pottery. See the full Mi Moneda line on our website, where you may also purchase. We ship around the world.

From certified diamonds to custom champagne flutes to high fashion jewelry, we've got it all! Bundle up so you can stop in and see us. With lines this hot, you'll warm right up!

How Do We Love Thee? Let us count the ways.

Let us count the ways...


1. A love Story in leather (STORY by Kranz & Ziegler)

2. A coin that reminds her she's priceless (Mi Moneda)

3. A big bright bear hug (Romero Britto)

4. Cuff links that promise excitement after work.

5. Counting the minutes till we meet again. 

Flowers wilt and chocolates have a way of disappearing, but a gift from People's Pottery store or website lasts forever, much like that other kind of gift...yes, the diamond! If it's time for an engagement ring, wedding band, or upgrade, let us thrill and fulfill you with our certified, brilliant and affordable line of KISS & DREAM diamonds. Due to industry factors and our commitment to you, our diamond prices are the lowest in Rochester. We have many existing styles, but we can also work with you to create a custom design!  

Come visit us at People's Pottery. We will help you select the perfect Valentine's day present to profess, confess or reaffirm your love. Because you are OUR Valentine!

Ooh La La!

Now that we have your attention...how gorgeous is this pin from our Bon Bons Bijoux board on Pinterest? This line is the most gorgeous trend in custom lockets this season, and we will show you how to create a unique Bon Bons Bijoux for yourself or a loved one-- a gift definitely worthy of an "Ooh La La"!

Speaking of "Ooh La La" - we at People's Pottery would love to know your own story of being wowed/dazzled/pampered by the perfect gift or splurge at People's Pottery in Rochester, or online. Won't you share your story with us on our Facebook page?

For inspiration: our wonderful customer Christopher Brandt wrote recently: "Best customer service I've had in my life. From choosing and purchasing our wedding rings, to the ongoing maintenance and cleaning, Carla and Jim [that's us!] have gone above and beyond. They truly show what the meaning of customer service is."

The other day, we met someone who said: "People's Pottery? The Pandora place?" Yes, we have a complete Pandora store-within-a-store...but we're also so much more. Engagement rings, serving pieces, desk sculptures, the hottest-selling European jewelry, girls' jewelry and Twirly Girl dresses.

With clearance promotions and hot new selections, it's the perfect time to visit our store or our website. Remember to share your "Ooh La La" story. And stay warm!

Ring (or necklace, or charm) it in

Did you know that New Year's Eve celebrations take unique forms throughout the world?
Below, a few examples -- and the inspirations they provide (source: International Business Times):

Russia: Write a wish for the upcoming year on a piece of paper, then burn the paper and place the ashes in a glass of champagne. Drink champagne as the clock strikes midnight, and the wish will come true.

People's Pottery twist: Why not toast the new year (minus the ashes, perhaps) with an elegant champagne glass from our collection?

Peru: Wear new clothes to bring good fortune.

People's Pottery twist: Slip a new Mi Moneda coin pendant over your outfit tomorrow night.

Ireland: New Year's Day, aka "The Day of the Buttered Bread," involves banging loaves of bread on doors and walls to chase out bad luck and invite good spirits.

People's Pottery twist: Spare the bread until it's served and sliced on a gorgeous Romero Britto platter!






Spain: Eating 12 grapes just before the clock chimes midnight will bring good fortune each month of the upcoming year.

People's Pottery twist: The best way to enjoy grapes tomorrow night are fermented, in a glass. We present an irresistible way to "fetch" your wine!

Happy New Year! We can't wait to see you in 2015!

Gone to the dogs...

Doggone easy!
