Friends, family and loved ones want to get you jewelry for the holidays. But how many times have you heard: “I didn’t’ know what you’d like, so here’s a gift card.” Ugh. Help them out by making a Jewelry Wish List!
On Thursday night, November 30, gather your girlfriends and come to Jack Lewis for a Wish List Creation Event unlike any party we’ve ever thrown before.
An aerial view of the new Jack Lewis Jewelers location at 3011 Galena Road, near Biaggi’s and Ancho & Agave on Bloomingon’s east side.
The project will be designed locally by Kyle Glandon and Paul Scharnett at Hewn Architectural Studio (the new entity formed at the start of 2024 by the merger of Workbench and SAA), and be built locally by Catalyst Construction, led by the team of Andy Kaufmann, Britt Steffen, and Josiah Koch.
It was an honor to have a crowd of family, friends, and colleagues join us for the celebration.
Flanked by co-owner Missy Ranney and wife Ketti, John Carter kicks-off the ceremony with opening remarks.
Father Schultz from St. Patrick Catholic Church of Merna leads the group in prayer before blessing the ground.
