Valentine's Day Discount

It's that time of year again. Time to show your significant other how much they mean to you through gifts, chocolates, flowers and of course, quality time together. This year we've done a few things to help you out if you plan on shopping at Sticky Jewelry this Valentine's Day.

First of all, we've created a page full of Valentine's Day gift ideas. From gold lockets to heart shaped earrings and everything in between. We've gone through our inventory of over 2,100 items and individually selected the pieces that we think make the best gift ideas for Valentine's Day. You can view the entire collection of Valentine's Day Jewelry at http://www.stickyj.com/valentines.html. Secondly, we've created a coupon code to help out our customers this Valentine's day. If you enter the code VALENTINE2010 at checkout (before February 28th, 2010) you will receive 20% off of the jewelry and engraving charges in your order.

If you have any other suggestions for Valentine's Day gifts, send me a tweet @StickyJewelry

Sticky Jewelry = Safe Jewelry

Recently, the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) focused the nation’s attention on the presence of cadmium in children’s jewelry, warning parents of the danger associated with a child ingesting the toxic material. The type of metal jewelry that the CEH is referring to is known in the jewelry industry as ‘zinc alloy’ or ‘base metal’. It’s commonly used in very inexpensive fashion jewelry items, and poses no risk to adults, but a very small child who might put jewelry in his mouth can ingest any lead or cadmium contained in that jewelry, and that’s what makes it dangerous. All of the children’s medical id bracelets and pendants from Sticky Jewelry are made of 316L surgical stainless steel which is lead-free and cadmium-free. In fact, nearly all of our adult medical IDs are made of surgical stainless steel as well!

Custom Logo Engraving

Back in 2008 I wrote a blog post about the custom logo engraving service that we offer at StickyJ. I think now that the Christmas season is over, it's a good time to revisit the subject of custom logo engraving. We've been engraving logos for people and company for years; but now, with the addition of our laser engraving machines we're able to engrave a much wider variety of logos. If you have a simple symbol or logo, there's a good chance we can engrave it on a piece of jewelry for you...

Top 5 Reasons to Work at StickyJ During the Christmas Season

This Christmas, some of the creative employees at Sticky Jewelry decided to put together a David Letterman style "Top Ten" list about some of the reasons we love being StickyJ employees during Christmas. I thought a lot of our customers might appreciate this list almost as much as we do, so I'm posting the top 5 reasons right here.

Reason #5: StickyJ-pajama/pizza-party (one word)

• This year, the suggestion was made that we should have one day on which all StickyJ employees would be encouraged to wear (modest) pajamas to work. After some deliberation, the management concluded that this would be a great way for all of us who have been working so hard this holiday season to relax and have a really fun day at work. The party was a HUGE success! Lots of pizza, lots of soda and certainly, lots of smiling employees in pajamas.

Reason #4: CookiesCandyCakes&Donuts (also one word)

• Around here it's a well known fact that StickyJ is a very busy place to work during the Christmas season. Because of this, employees have found that an extra cookie or three is a pleasant boost that can help propel one through a long work day. So, a few years back we started a tradition of bringing in every sort of sweet sustenance imaginable. From cookies, to cakes, to candy canes, to licorice and everything in between (even an occasional potluck gathering of Chili, wings and other scrumptious things); Sticky Jewelry employees and employers bring in anything they can to be shared with their peers over the holidays.

Reason #3: SEASON OF JOY

• "SEASONOFJOY" is the accurate name that was given to the 20% off coupon code that was issued by our store this Christmas season.

Reason #2: Tessa

• Tessa is a crucial factor in the morale and productivity of our company. She is a brindle American Boxer who spends as many hours in the office as any employee. She's even been known to occasionally pull a late nighter to help take care of urgent, time sensitive matters in the company.

And the #1 Reason we love being StickyJ employees during Christmas is... Our StickyJ Family

• The company is constantly growing, but it's still small enough to feel like a family. And that is what it feels like to work for Sticky Jewelry. Everyone that works here at StickyJ (including employers, managers, employees and yes... even pets) are truly a joy to work for. Coming into the office is rarely a burden, and I think most everyone here would agree with me that it's truly a joy to work for this company.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

This bracelet is available in 3 sizes: six and a half, seven and a half, and eight and a half inches.

Of course, we have a great deal of jewelry that we designate as either "for men" or "for women" but a lot of that jewelry is worn by both men and women as well. So, whether you're looking for that personalized gift for someone special, a stocking stuffer or something affordable for that white elephant gift, unisex jewelry might be the answer.
