SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY!

We are proud to announce we are participating in Small Business Saturday! In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday; a day that encourages people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The single day has grown into a powerful movement, and more people are taking part than ever before. Americans are passionate about helping out their community businesses and we are passionate about growing our community by giving back. 

This year marks our 39th year in business and we credit our success to the tremendous support we’ve received from our community. With that said, the Tuesday after 'Small Business Saturday' we will be participating in 'Giving Back Tuesday'. We will make a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a charity that we have made continuous, generous contributions to over the years.

Due to LLS’ extensive research about blood disease over the years, cure rates for many types of blood diseases have increased exponentially; indeed, some cure rates have quadrupled, and we are so proud to be a involved with this wonderful journey. LLS is a nation-wide organization with passionate folks giving back and bringing awareness about blood diseases throughout the country.

Detroit store giving free bands to those affected by the ban.

Marina Pilibosian, CEO of Birmingham Jewelry in Sterling Heights, MI, is the latest jeweler to cleverly capitalize on the much-publicized Starbucks ban on employee engagement ring set with gemstones. "Some ladies, they feel naked (when they can't wear their rings),” says Pilibosian, whose store is offering free tungsten bands to all of the coffee-chain’s baristas who have to leave their rings at home. "Just bring me a chai tea latte while you're at it," she says.

STERLING HEIGHTS (WXYZ) - You won't be seeing your Starbucks barista flashing bling while serving up your latte. A new company dress code now bands workers from wearing watches, bracelets or rings with stones - that includes diamond wedding and

engagement rings.

Starbucks says they're just trying to follow food safety guidelines. But the news made waves on social media, prompting some to call for a boycott and others to accuse Starbucks of being anti-marriage.

After reading about the new dress code, a local jeweler had an idea - she's offering a free, tungsten band to any Starbucks employee who has to leave their wedding or engagement ring at home.

Marina Pilibosian, CEO of Birmingham Jewelry, calls herself a big Starbucks fan. She's also a savvy businesswoman.

"Why go naked?" she said. "Some ladies, they feel naked [when they can't wear their rings.] You can wear a beautiful tungsten band," Pilibosian said.

She is offering a free band to all Starbucks baristas in Southeastern Michigan affected by the new dress code.

It won't cost them a penny, but there is a catch.

"Just bring me a chai tea latte while you're at it," Pilibosian joked.
