honoring our veterans

It seems that after Halloween, everybody (especially retailers), shift gears and rush right to Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you have been shopping with SuperJeweler.com for a while, you’ll see that we try very hard to be different from other retailers. That’s why we are putting the brakes on the Christmas train right now to celebrate another very important holiday: Veteran’s Day.

SuperJeweler is an American company that is so proud to have an American workforce, but also to offer the best deals we can to the American public and beyond. We also recognize and honor the sacfrices that have been made by American veterans. Theirs is a sacrifice that can never be repaid, but it can be recognized.

In honor of Veterans Day, on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, we will be offering a very special deal in our Deal of the Day section: Our Purple Heart Pendant for just $49.

If you are on the SuperJeweler email list, you also know that we sent out a special email sale in honor of Military Family Appreciation Week. The sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform are just one type of sacrifice. Families of the enlisted also make a sacrifice. And while we are so proud those who serve, the families who support them also deserve recognition for the sacrifices they make, too.

One of the ways we honor those currently enlisted and their families is by offering free shipping to APO mailboxes. We figure that you come to SuperJeweler.com because we have fair prices; we wouldn’t want you to have to spend the difference on shipping your purchase halfway around the world. So we do it for you.

With the holidays afoot, and so many loved ones far from home, we just want you to know that you can buy men’s diamond rings, engagement rings, diamond earrings, or whatever from SuperJeweler, and we’ll cover the shipping costs for you.

The Lupus Butterfly and What it Means

In 2008, we were approached by the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and asked if we would be interested in working with them. For those of you who may not be familiar with Lupus, it is an autoimmune disease. This means that one’s own immune systems attacks its cells and tissues believing that they are harmful foreign cells and tissue.

Lupus can effect many different parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, nervous system, joints, and skin. Lupus is often unpredictable and can be very painful, with flare ups that cause skin irritation and tissue damage.

One of the common symptoms of Lupus is what is known as The Lupus Butterfly – a purple rash that develops across the nose and cheeks of those who have Lupus. In working with the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America, we developed our own Lupus Butterfly; it is a 1/4ct diamond and amethyst butterfly pendant set in 14k white gold.

With every Lupus Butterfly Pendant we sell at SuperJeweler.com, we donate $60 to the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America. This donation helps educate people about Lupus and provide support for those who endure the effects of Lupus every day.

We ask you to help us make a difference and get an adorable piece of amethyst gemstone jewelry at the same time. And if you love the Lupus Butterfly Pendant as much as we do, then you may also want to explore our other fine gemstone jewelry as well.
