As the year comes to a close, we thought it would be fun to look back over the jewelry we sold and see what the bestsellers were! Rings and earrings were quite popular, and it looks like y'all preferred brass to silver overall this year! But what we love most about this is how many people came through our doors and made our jewelry a part of their lives. How many engagement rings were dreamed up, how many birthday gifts were given, how many rings became friendship rings, and how many people we got to meet and get to know.
Thank you for a wonderful 2018!
Our gold-filled faceted rings topped the list this year - unsurprising, since they're a ring-stacking staple! We're happy y'all love these little guys as much as we do, in both gold and silver! The sterling silver version came in at #9 on our list, making this duo a definite b&i power couple.
