February is a month dedicated to love. From National Heart Month to Valentine’s Day, there are countless opportunities to show others how much we care. At Roman Jewelers, we felt it was the perfect time of year to launch our Share Your Heart campaign.
On Thursday, February 1, 2018, we invited more than 40 local nonprofits to join us for a special launch event at our Bridgewater location. Organizations from Hunterdon and Somerset Counties were introduced to a one-of-a-kind heart pendant that was specially designed to support their fundraising efforts throughout the year.
During the launch party, executive directors, board members, and interns from nonprofits across Hunterdon and Somerset Counties had the opportunity to network with one another, meet our staff, and learn firsthand why we established the Share Your Heart campaign.
Sophie Shor, Vice President of Roman Jewelers, shared that she created the campaign to develop a unique and thoughtful way to support local nonprofits.
“Creating beautiful jewelry and supporting local nonprofits are two things we believe we do very well at Roman Jewelers,” said Sophie.
The Share Your Heart pendant was designed by Sophie’s daughter and General Manager, Lucy Zimmerman. Lucy selected a heart shape for this exclusive design because it is a universally adored symbol and can be gifted to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and other special occasions.
As a fourth-generation jewelry designer, Lucy was determined to create a truly distinct piece—a challenging task with such a classic symbol. After many design iterations, she created the perfect pendant for this meaningful campaign.
When someone purchases this sterling silver pendant, which retails for $100.00, Roman Jewelers donates $50.00 of the sale to the purchaser’s favorite charity, either in their name or in honor of someone special.
The necklace is available for purchase at our Flemington and Bridgewater locations, as well as online at romanjewelers.com and on our Facebook page.
In addition to being a beautiful gift, the Share Your Heart pendant is truly a gift that keeps on giving. At the conclusion of the event, our staff presented each attendee with their own pendant as a thank-you for the incredible work they do within their organizations and communities.
For nearly 30 years, Roman Jewelers has been dedicated to supporting charities and strengthening our communities. Giving back is woven into the fabric of our company and reflected in the people who work here, as well as in our owners.
