It’s the Summer of Love at Long’s Jewelers
The New England jeweler is hosting a bridal event for the month of August.
Long’s Jewelers will host its “Summer of Love” bridal event with savings on bridal and commitment jewelry and giveaways.
Burlington, Mass.—Long’s Jewelers is hosting its “Summer of Love” bridal event next month.
The event, held the entire month of August, will honor love in all its forms, said the New England jeweler.
“Summer of Love recognizes the many ways people commemorate love today—from engagements and anniversaries to personal milestones and everything in between,” said Craig Rottenberg, president of Long’s Jewelers.
Customers can find savings on wedding bands, anniversary rings, and engagement styles, from designers like Precision Set, Goldman, JB Star, Mark Patterson, Martin Flyer, Sylvie, Just Perfect, and Long’s own branded signature collection.
Those who make a purchase during the event will be entered for a chance to win $2,000 from Long’s to be put toward their ring.
