The Dunstan Jewelers team is very active in our community. We believe in giving back to the community that has given us so much support over the years. Stay tuned for news about upcoming community events we’ll be a part of!

October Snow Storm?!

My oh my friends! It has been a crazy past couple of months indeed!

In under two months we’ve had a Hurricane and a Snow Storm resulting in two individually record breaking incidents of power outages!  Hurricane Irene was devastating to so many people, and was the first major Hurricane hit Connecticut has seen in a while, but our October Snow Storm resulted in 5 TIMES AS MANY down trees!  And we’ve even felt earthquakes recently, too!

Everyone on our Dunstan team, except for me (probably the one and only benefit of apartment living), still doesn’t have power.  We’re sufferring through it with you all and helping each other, and we want to help you too… If you have any electronics you need to charge or want to warm up amongst our glittering jewels, feel free to stop by.

We know jewelry is probably the last thing on many of your minds right now,
but nevertheless we wanted you to know that we’re still open and here for you,
and more importantly, that our Anniversary Sale is still on!
We will be serving Champagne and Hors d’oeuvres all week, along with 30% off all Jewelry!

Have a sparkling day!

Remembering our 24th Anniversary Sale

Hi Friends!

Our 25th Anniversary Sale is almost here and we’re getting so excited!  But I thought it would be nice to take a minute to pause and reflect on the amazing time we had last year at our 24th Anniversary sale…

Our team is a little different this year,
Renee is no longer with us and Connie is with us less.
We really miss having them both around,
but I hear they may pop in durring the celebration 🙂

Alexandra Neizabitowski has re-joined our team after graduating from Law School, congratulations Alexandra!
She worked with us before enrolling in Law School
and is excited to be back while looking for employment in her field.
Anyone looking to hire a lawyer? She comes highly recommended 😉

Larry Dunstan, Len’s twin brother, is going to be up from Florida for the week.
We’re all so excited to have him back!
Some of you may remember him from this Summer while I was in Italy.

One of last year’s exciting events was an
Avon Chamber of Commerce “Business After Hours”.
We had the opportunity of hosting dozens of area business owners.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many nice new people

Russell’s Creative Global Cuisine catered the whole 24th Anniversary Sale,
and will be again this year.
Even if you don’t need jewlery, come for the Champagne and Hors d’oeurves,
the food is excellent!

Another event we had the pleasure of hosting was a
Gold Buying Event to benefit the Salvation Army.
We were so blessed by the beautiful music played by their volunteer Brass Band!

This year we have quite a few events…

On Monday November 7th,
We’ll be welcomingour amazingly talented Goldsmith’s, Jennifer Micucci,
new exclusive line of jewelry to our store!
All of her pieces are hand made right here in our store and one of a kind!

On Thursday November 10th,
We’re featuring a special collection of Colored Diamond and High Fashion jewelry.
Come and see this INCREDIBLY beautiful line,
seeing Fancy Yellow Diamonds of that size and quality is an incredible opportunity
you don’t want to miss!

On Friday November 11th,
We’re having our Semi-Annual Remount Event!
Walk in or make an appointment to have your gems remounted while you wait!
Our good friend Joe will have hundreds of mountings of all types to choose from,
AND you can watch his talented goldsmith set your stones!

We’ll be giving away a COLORED DIAMOND valued at $2,500!
