Every May, the flowers come out. The cards get signed. The brunches get booked. And mothers everywhere smile graciously and say this is wonderful — and mean it, truly — while somewhere in the back of their minds a little voice whispers:
But what about the sparkle?
We hear her. We have always heard her.
This Saturday, May 9th, from 10am to 5pm, we are throwing open the doors at both our Chappaqua, NY and Ridgefield, CT locations for one of our favorite celebrations of the year — Baubles, Bellinis & Blossoms. A Mother's Day event designed not just for shopping, but for celebrating. Because the two should always go together.
Pull up a seat at the bar cart, because we are pouring our signature champagne bellinis — the ones you've been hearing about, the ones that make a Saturday morning feel like a special occasion. Fresh tulips will be waiting, because flowers do belong on Mother's Day — they just shouldn't be the only thing she gets.
Our entire fine and fashion jewelry collection will be on display and available to explore — from investment-worthy fine jewelry pieces that will live on her finger for decades, to fashion jewelry that is fun, fresh and completely irresistible. Something for every mom, every style, every budget.
And because we believe the experience of giving should feel as beautiful as the gift itself — every purchase comes with a complimentary Mother's Day card, already waiting to be filled with your words.
The details:
Can we let you in on the secret that twenty-plus years of gifting experience has taught us?
Bringing her in to choose her own gift is not a cop-out. It is the most thoughtful thing you can do.
It says: I know you have taste. I trust your eye. I want you to have exactly what you love — not what I guessed you might love. It turns a transaction into a shared experience. She gets to try things on, feel the weight of a piece in her hands, discover something she didn't even know she was looking for. And you get to watch her face light up in real time.
That moment — right there in our store, bellini in hand, tulips on the counter — that is the gift. The jewelry is just the beginning.
There is something fundamentally different about walking into a family-owned boutique and buying a gift for someone you love.
We are not a website. We are not a chain. We are Scott and Tara Mikolay — a husband and wife who opened this store at 25 on a wing and a prayer, who have spent over two decades building something rooted in this community, who genuinely know many of our clients by name.
When you buy from us, the gift comes wrapped in a navy blue box that means something in Westchester County and Fairfield County. It comes with the knowledge that a third-generation master jeweler stood behind the quality of every single piece. It comes with a relationship — one where you can walk back through our doors anytime and we will remember you.
That is what shopping local feels like. And on Mother's Day of all days, it matters.

Flowers are lovely. But sparkle? Sparkle is forever.
We can't wait to see you.
