This weekend, November 12th and 13th, will be the annual Downtown Holiday Open House in Fredericksburg – the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. The new decorations are going up on Caroline Street and businesses are putting up their decorations. While it isn’t too cold yet, the sense of festivities is in the air.

At Gemstone Creations we are ready for your holiday shopping needs, whether you are looking for a gift for Mom, a gift for Dad or anyone on your list – even yourself!

We’ll have Christie, from Xristie Designs with us again for the Holiday Open House. Christie creates lovely hand-crafted Murano glass jewelry; pendants, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. No two pieces are the same. While she won’t be conducting demonstrations on this trip, she will be available to answer any questions you have about her lovely selection of one-of-a-kind pieces.

If you haven’t already seen it we also have our Kameleon case fully stocked and ready for the holidays. Kameleon is a fun line, made of silver, featuring hundreds of interchangeable JewelPops. Each pop fits every piece of jewelry, even belt buckles and sunglasses. With the pops grouped into five different prices, starting at $29, you can be sure to find something for just about everyone on your list. Since the pops fit all the pieces of jewelry, a new pop could be all it takes to change the whole look of the piece.

We hope to see you downtown for the open house. We’ll have some goodies and holiday cheer and our cases will be full of wonderful gifts for all you shopping needs!
