Vardy’s Jewelers celebrates 35 years
If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, you have heard of Vardy’s Jewelers. They are located in Cupertino at 10227 South De Anza Blvd. If you have not heard of them, then this is a special day!
Vardy’s Jewelers is a family owned jewelry store filled with highly skilled European Goldsmiths. They can work magic on old, broken jewelry by bringing new life to it, or design a special piece from scratch! In addition to original works, Vardy’s Jewelers is filled with beautiful jewelry by designers; as well as Hearts on Fire! If you have not seen a Hearts on Fire diamond in person, then you have never seen a diamond! Let’s get this straight; nothing sparkles with fire more than a Hearts on Fire diamond. I am dreaming of one!
Last Thursday, Vardy’s Jewelers celebrated 35 years of business with an intimate party. This family owned shop has been well-loved in Silicon Valley for over three decades; and is the ultimate go-to store for fine jewelry. Everyone knows Vardy! He is the one who can redesign your jewels, create a new, special piece, or find something ready-made for any special occasion; or just to celebrate life!
Since Mother’s Day is a few days away, I thought showcasing my favorite pieces from Vardy’s Jewelers is must! Pictured in this post are the pieces that would make a perfect gift for Mom this upcoming Mother’s Day. They would also make fabulous graduation gifts too.
I am in love with the vintage necklace pictured below. Ah-hem, are my kids reading this? Better yet, my husband, who does the paying, needs to look at this picture! I know my kids really want to give it to me for Mother’s Day. Hint hint, nudge, nudge. 😉
In the bottom photo, I am posing with the fabulous Fanya Hull, of Vardy’s Jewlers. She has designed jewelry with her Father for me in the past; and is extremely talented. She has fabulous style, so if you need help choosing the right style of jewelry for a gift, or for yourself-look for her! She will even help you find the right baubles for a specific outfit or occasion. Love that!
You can learn more about Vardy’s Jewelers online at Vardys.com. Definitely stop in and check out everything that sparkles in the store for Mother’s Day, a graduation, or yourself! You won’t leave empty handed. I am sure you will love everything 🙂
Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

After you give her your gift, why not take Mom shopping! You can include a Santana Row gift card in your gift, or just take her shopping around the Row. After a day of shopping, why not relax at Burke Williams with a spa day! Mom will love it!
Now that Mom is relaxed, why not treat her to a chic dinner at Blowfish Sushi, Cielo, LB Steak, or Straights! After all, she deserves a day off from the kitchen! Now how’s that for an amazing Mother’s Day!
