It’s time to Show the Love!
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Jewelers Mutual has partnered with the jewelry brand Hearts On Fire® for a social media contest that asks people to share how they show their love to their special someone. From January 16 – February 27, 2012, the Show the Love photo contest will be promoted on Jewelers Mutual’s Facebook page. There have been some truly heart-warming entries so far…I encourage you to check them out!
To enter, all you have to do is finish the phrase “I show my love by…” and then upload a photo that best supports the text submission. Once the entry period is up, Jewelers Mutual will determine the top 20 finalists and then the public gets a chance to vote for their favorite entries to help determine the grand-prize winner. The amazing prize is a heart-shaped pendant beautifully displayed with 10 perfectly cut Hearts On Fire diamonds set in 18-karat white gold – the perfect gift for a special Valentine.

The entry period runs through February 6th, so now’s the time to get creative and get the camera ready! All entries will be judged based on creativity, originality and keeping with the theme.
Think of the ways we show our love to the special people in our lives every day. The gestures may seem simple, but mean a lot – holding hands on an evening stroll, pouring her a glass of wine after a long day’s work (yes, please), or going to a ball game to cheer on his favorite team when you’d rather be at the movies (been there) – they’re all signs of love in their own right.
Go ahead, think of your own, click here to enter the Show the Love photo contest, and take a chance! How better to show your love than with diamonds!
The best gift a person can give is hope
As a parent to two daughters, ages five and two, I’m trying to instill the idea of charitable giving to them at a young age. When it comes to giving back, it’s all about baby steps. Many people think that in order to do any good, hundreds of dollars need to be spent. Not so. After a wonderful chat with my friend Sarah Smith from Sarah’s Hope® Jewelry, I found myself repeating her words in my head. “You can make a difference, no matter how small the gesture may seem.”
The question is… what drives you to make a difference?
It’s true what they say, “The little things really do make big differences.” I feel good about the fact that I encourage my daughters to drop spare change into the Salvation Army’s red kettles over the holidays. And every year, we pick names off a local giving tree and shop for gifts to help families fulfill their wish list. It may seem like small potatoes, but where giving is concerned, every bit helps.
Making small steps as a family fills me with great joy, but so does being part of something larger like Jewelers Mutual’s upcoming program called Hope for the Holidays—a contest that puts value in charity and lending a hand to others.
How do you give back during the holidays?
Starting Monday, October 17th at 12pm (CDT), you can share your story for a chance to win a beautiful jewelry set ($500 retail value) from Sarah’s Hope Jewelry – a socially responsible jewelry line that helps provide microloans and small business training to women in impoverished situations throughout the world and the US. PLUS, receive a $1,000 donation from Jewelers Mutual to your favorite charity.* Four finalists will also walk away with Sarah’s Hope pendants ($200-290 retail value) and a $200 charitable donation. Nothing “small potatoes” about that!

That’s not all! Help Jewelers Mutual reach 12,000 Facebook “likes” and one random Facebook fan will win Sarah’s Hope earrings, PLUS a $200 donation to their charity of choice!*
This is the time of year to take the focus off the “stuff” and put it back where it needs to be. Over the weekend, think about ways you give back. Then get ready to enter Hope for the Holidays (found on Jewelers Mutual’s Facebook page), which starts Monday, October 17th at 12pm CDT.
*Organizations must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. To see if your charity qualifies, visit www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. Due to state laws, the contest is not available in Rhode Island. One entry per person. Void where prohibited. Contest begins October 17, 2011 at 12pm CDT. Voting begins at 11/15/11 at 12:01pm CDT.
Diamond pendant goes to mom-to-be
The grand-prize platinum and diamond Simon G. pendant
What does a guy do when he wins a diamond pendant? Just ask Jorda Young, the grand-prize winner of Jewelers Mutual’s Some Like It Haute sweepstakes in partnership with Platinum Guild International and Simon G. Jewelry.
Jorda said his first reaction when hearing he won the beautiful platinum and diamond Simon G. pendant was, “Great, the first thing I ever win gets to go to someone else!” Joking aside, Jorda has big plans for the pendant. As any good husband would do, he’s planning on giving the pendant to his wife. “She is currently pregnant with our first child. I hope to hold onto it until that special day,” said Jorda.
That’s one well-deserved “push” gift! With the baby due in March, the hardest part for Jorda will likely be how to keep it a secret until the little one’s arrival.
Jorda may have never owned a piece of platinum jewelry or anything from Simon G. before, but he’s no stranger to Jewelers Mutual’s Personal Jewelry Insurance policy, thanks to a recommendation he received from his jeweler. We hope Jorda decides to keep his wife’s pendant equally safe. Congratulations, Jorda! Your wife’s a lucky gal.
Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for another exciting opportunity that will surely get you in the holiday spirit.
