We're taking off!

We here at KBJ need a break. So, we'll be closing our doors this Memorial Day Weekend and hoping there's some sunshine to boot!

Be advised that we will be closed Friday, May 23 through the weekend and will reopen our doors on Tuesday, May 27 at noon.

During this time, we will not be able to respond to emails or any internet orders. All orders through the website will be processed on Tuesday upon our return.

We highly suggest that you all go enjoy the long weekend, treat yourself and your loved ones right, and have a good time!

See ya next week!

sunny daze.

If you live in Seattle and you are not outside right now, SHAME ON YOU.

It's a sweaty 87 degrees here in the Emerald City and it's blowing my jewelry-loving mind.

It's so funny when the sun shines and the temperature rises in this city. We Seattlelites act like it's the first sunshine we've seen in ages, well it kinda is. The pale legs of winter start creeping up and days spent in the park with pals are back.

Since I get to watch all you hot girls and boys from our large store-front windows enjoying the much needed Vitamin D today, I'm going to take this opportunity to update y'all on the recent happs here at KBJ.

We've gotten some great press as of recent. We're featured in the new issue of NYLON Magazine with the lovely ladies from Gossip Girl on the cover. The loveliest of the lovely stylist, Daniela Jung outfitted the gals with some killer pieces. Included are Serena's "signature S" ring, aka the Maude, the Dolly Necklace, and the often overlooked but equally amazing, Anais Necklace. As everyone knows, I can't get enough of that show. On the show, the evil Georgina, is sporting the HOT HOT HOT Wolfette ring, which we all know by now is a fave among the sassy starlets. I have to say I started watching that guilty pleasure just for work (or at least that's what I wanted everyone to know) but I gotta say, GG rivals my very favorite and truly the OG teen drama, 90210. You'd never see the West Beverly gang get into the conundrums and ridiculousness that Serena and her gaggle of uber rich, overly sophisticated kids get into. Okay, before I start to wax philosophical on the merits of teen dramas, let's get to the real stuff.

Here's a shot from NYLON with the girls. I'm experiencing a few technical difficulties today. Apparently, the scanner knows its too hot to work too....*hint, hint. Pictures to come this next week. If you're feeling it, run out to the newstand and check it! We're also in the new CosmoGIRL with cutie Brittany Snow on the cover. Aaaaaaand, we'll be on next month's NYLON with Scarlett Johanssen as well.

Okay, I'm done for the day. This heat's starting to get to me. Enjoy your lovely, lovely weekend, my lovely fellow jewelry-enthusiasts. Remember to watch the finale of GG on Monday and the Lucky Breaks is only on for a few more weeks.
