With Valentine's Day coming up I thought it was a good time to share a little about on of my favorite shops in Manhattan, G. Thomas Jewelers. Ah, but where do I even begin? While I think for some people jewelry stores can be slightly intimidating, but at G. Thomas as soon as you enter, you will find you will instantly feel at home. G. Thomas does a great job and the best part is they have a little something for everyone in their store! Bobbi French and her team do an amazing job helping you find that special something, no matter your budget!
One of the things I love most about G. Thomas Jewelers, is the variety offered in the store. I love going to grab gifts for friends or special pieces for myself. If you have read my blog about my favorite gifts in Manhattan, then you already know G. Thomas made my list with their Self-Love Stones. These stones come in a variety of colors and are perfect for a friend or special someone. These necklaces are affordable and might not a piece you expect to see in a jewelry store!
Next up is Kinsley Armelle, this line is a little bit of an obsession for me. Fun pieces that are unique and again, priced really well. I feel like I can easily dress them up or down and as a self-proclaimed "minimalist in progress" these are the pieces that I am looking for.
Are you a K-State fan or need a gift for one? If so, run don't walk to G. Thomas Jewelers! They have several pieces that incorporate our favorite color and also our beloved Powercat head! Every KSU fan needs a great piece of jewelry to show off their wildcat pride! From watches to rings, bracelets, and more, they are sure to help you find that special something!
If you are someone who feels like you are are not even sure where to start, this is the place for you! At G. Thomas Jewelers, with your help, they will take the time to get to know the likes and dislikes of the person you are shopping for. I have even heard a story about Bobby looking through a customers Facebook feed to get to know the style of the person they were shopping for and then selecting a gift based off of that, and guess what? She nailed it!
When we talk of "special somethings," that is part of what G. Thomas is known for! If you follow them on their Facebook page then you understand that it is part of their passion. Bobbi and her team love to create with family and friends significant pieces of jewelry. Whether it be made out of a loved one's wedding ring, broach, or any memento, G. Thomas works with the family to create one-of-a-kind piece (s) to help keep your loved one with you every day.
Now, of course, G. Thomas has ALL the things you can imagine a jewelry store has, fabulous diamonds, watches, necklaces, rings, and more, but I wanted to share more of what you might now know about in the store! Their commitment to the community. They take pride in their work and love participating in every way they can. They are frequent sponsors of events, donors for silent auctions, the co-sponsor of the Jingle Bell Rock, and everyone's favorite day, Random Acts of Kindness Day.
Random Acts of Kindness Day takes place right before Christmas, Bobbi sends her entire staff out throughout the day, each are given cash and their only directive is to do some elf magic in our community with random acts of kindness! The staff can do whatever they want, pay for layaway items, buy someone groceries, donate to an organization, they can even give the cash to a stranger on the street! As I said, everyone's favorite day and a good reminder for our amazing community the love our small businesses have for everyone who lives here.
