Women's Day Celebration 2020!

Our Women’s Day Sale is here!


Our annual celebration of women’s empowerment starts Saturday, March 7th and runs through Saturday, March 14th.  Our donation drive lasts all month long!

So many of you have asked us if we'll be doing the drive again, because you're eager to help fellow women in their pursuit of self-determination. This is the very spirit of Women's Day! 

Fairbank and Perry Goldsmiths is once again partnering with I Support the Girls, a nonprofit founded in 2015 to provide to homeless women and girls some of the most basic items women need to live a life of dignity and self-respect:  clean, decent undergarments and new feminine hygiene products.


This month we are hosting a drive throughout the month of March for the following items to be donated to I Support the Girls:

  • New or gently used bras (any style and size)

  • New underwear (in packages or with tags attached)

  • Menstrual products (packages of individually wrapped pads or tampons)

In return, you’ll receive a discount on any piece finished jewelry in our cases, March 7th-14th only! 

  • Donate one item, get 5% off.

  • Donate two items, get 10% off.

  • Donate three items, get 15% off.

  • Donate four items, get 20% off!!


If you donate more than four items, the same process will put you a discount path toward second piece of jewelry (and a third, and a fourth… you get the idea). 

Donations will be accepted throughout the month of March, but the sale is on March 7th-14th only! 

One hundred years ago, women achieved the hard-fought right to vote as the 19th Amendment was finally ratified by a supermajority of states.  A pivot point for women being treated equally as citizens of this country had arrived.  But finding equal socioeconomic opportunities remains a major challenge for a great many women.  

As women professionals connected to a largely female clientele, we have an intimate awareness of what women need to feel ready and capable to face life's challenges.  Conversations in our shop often transcend jewelry, delving into bigger issues of health, politics, work, home and family.

Bras, clean underwear, and fresh pads and tampons.  These are basic, personal underpinnings women must have to face the day with confidence.  And because they are small things, hidden from view, nobody talks about the idea of NOT having them!  Imagine having to go to work, a job interview, a meeting with your child's teacher, even just getting on a crowded bus without these things.  

Women and teenagers who can’t afford them suffer embarrassment, shame, and lower self-confidence, all while facing the already dehumanizing challenges of homelessness.

Together we can do real, meaningful good for other women while also doing something special for ourselves. 
 
With a simple trip to the drugstore or your favorite lingerie department, you could turn a purchase of a new sports bra and maxi pads into hundreds of dollars off the piece of jewelry you love. (And stop waiting for someone else to get the hint!)
 
Help us help women in a very tangible way this Women's History Month.  And at the same time, affirm your own independence and the right to treat yourself well!
 
Hope to see you soon!
