Gem of an opening
Dazzling diamonds, color gemstones and glittery gold will attract customers to Kay Jewelers, the No. 1 specialty jewelry brand in the U.S.
Kay Jewelers is on a roll, opening at Pearlridge Center Uptown tomorrow after celebrating a recent opening at Windward Mall.
Grand-opening festivities include special merchandise offers, jewelry cleaning and a register-to-win $1,000 diamond shopping spree to be awarded to one customer by random drawing. No purchase is necessary to win.
Nicky opens No. 2
Nicky Shoes is opening its second store Sunday at Aloha Tower Marketplace on the first floor next to 99 Boarding Co.
The boutique will offer a range of seasonal styles, from casual sandals to dressy boots and high heels, with purses and handbags to match. Nicky Shoes' private-label women's shoes ranges from $20 to $58 a pair.
Footwear for boys, girls and babies runs $10 to $20 a pair, and owner Thao "Nicky" McGill says that some of the girls' slides are so whimsical that women with small feet often buy them for themselves.
The boutique is within walking distance from the downtown business district, so in addition to runway-ready footwear, McGill plans to offer a large selection of practical pumps, mules and slides.
Nicky Shoes' original location is at Pearlridge Center. Visit www.nickyshoecompany.com.
