The High School Jewelry Competition entries are now on display!

Stop by the Jewelers of Birmingham stores to see the local high school student jewelry pieces now on display! As we mentioned, we are a member of the Jewelers of Birmingham and have been participating in this event since 2006. It is a great way to showcase local student talent and support area high schools.

Local high school juniors and seniors submit their original jewelry pieces for a chance to win $500, $250, and $100 prizes. Pieces are displayed in Birmingham jewelry stores from April 18 - May 2, with the awards ceremony on May 7 at the Birmingham Community House.

Come by and see some of the amazing pieces designed and created by talented local students, support the arts, and vote for your favorite!

The 2012 Michigan Humane Society Bow Wow Brunch

Tickets to the 23rd Annual Michigan Humane Society Bow Wow Brunch are on sale! 

Hurry and reserve your tickets to this amazing event. Proceeds from the sale will go towards the continuation of providing services to animals in need: finding homes, veterinary care, community outreach, and sterilization services. The Michigan Humane Society's (MHS) goal is to eradicate animal homelessness, and with help, we believe we will get there. 

The Bow Wow Brunch is on Sunday, April 29th and begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Dearborn Inn, with a champagne reception. Other events include a gourmet brunch, silent auction, and live auction. And of course the event wouldn't be complete without our furry friends; there will also be a chance to get to know some of MHS's adoptable animals. We donated a sterling silver cuff bracelet so participate in the auctions for your chance to own a beautiful piece and contribute to the cause.


Tickets to the Bow Wow Brunch begin at $200 and seating is limited. To reserve your tickets, call 1-866-MHUMANE 

Or you can purchase them online here


Here are a few photos from last year's event from the MHS website
