BeadLuxe celebrates 3rd Anniversary

For Immediate Release

Summit, NJ, May 18, 2007 -- Since its opening 3 years ago, BeadLuxe has been the place where adults and children go to create their own jewelry in an elegant walk-in workshop. An original retail concept conceived by local New Jersey residents Angeli Breen and Grace Saturnia, customers choose from an extensive selection of semi-precious gemstones, glass, crystal, fresh water pearls, stone, sterling silver and other fine beads to create one-of-a-kind jewelry for themselves or as gifts for family and friends.

To celebrate their 3rd Anniversary, BeadLuxe is offering a 30% discount on all "Make Your Own Jewelry" as well as a BeadLuxe Music CD with a purchase of $30 or more. According to Manager Emily York, "Music has always been a passion of mine, and introducing people to bands that they don't know or probably wouldn't find out about is something in which I find great pleasure. We were always being asked about the music we play at BeadLuxe, so putting together a compilation CD was a fitting gesture to thank our loyal customers." The CD features local acts such as The Zach Macko Band and Railroad Earth, as well as national acts like John Mayer and Wilco.

Join the celebration at the Summit and most recently opened Bedminster BeadLuxe. Whether you are planning a party, need a piece of jewelry for an outfit or you just want to walk-in to create a design on a whim, BeadLuxe is looking forward to inspiring your next creation.
