Happy Anniversary

It's hard for us to believe, but it's been 5 years since we first opened Stephen Frank Garden & Home. We've seen lots of changes since then, most notably the acquisition of Laguna Gourmet, incorporating it into the Stephen Frank family as our Table & Pantry store. During the 5 years we've seen great growth in our product lines and inventory. Our sales staff has increased and we continue to provide the kind of top-notch service we're known for.
To help us celebrate, we're offering free shipping on all your purchases between now and December 24th. This is a great opportunity to let us manage your Holiday gift giving. Stop by the store, call us, or go online with your shopping list and let us handle it from there! There are a few caveats. This offer applies to standard UPS shipping only. Crated and oversized items, shipping outside the 48 contiguous states, and rush shipping are not included in the offer.
Thank you for 5 great years. Looking forward to sharing many more with all our great customers.

Friday & Saturday, November 2nd & 3rd, we're having a champagne reception for renowned jewelry designer Jackie Jones. Jackie will be presenting a trunk show of her new collection at Stephen Frank, giving our customers a first-look of her holiday collection.

After spending 18 years in high tech marketing in England and the US, British-born Jackie Jones began her career as a jewelry designer in 2002. Frustrated by a lack of bold and distinctive jewelry designs, Jackie quit the corporate world to pursue a lifelong passion of running her own creative business.
Inspiration for her designs comes mainly from being around gemstones: “When I see the combinations of different stones, the cuts and colors, the size and shapes - the creative juices start flowing and I see endless design possibilities.” Each unique piece of jewelry is a work of wearable art.

     
Ultimately, Jackie achieves her greatest satisfaction from the women who wear her jewelry. “I have always admired women who are not afraid to be bold and different - in their fashion style and the way they live their lives.” Jackie’s distinctive jewelry attracts self-assured women who are comfortable standing out. “Sometimes I can be wearing a simple outfit and I feel invisible. Then I put on a fabulous necklace or some dramatic earrings and I feel transformed.”

     

Around 250 high-end boutiques, gift stores, galleries and jewelry stores in the US currently carry Jackie’s line as well as stores in Italy, England, Japan, Canada, and Mexico.
The late actress Elizabeth Taylor owned several of Jackie’s necklaces. Jackie’s jewelry was also chosen to accessorize the collection of leading fashion designer Sue Wong at LA Fashion Week.

We're back!
