    What Is a Jewelry Trunk Show and Why Do Smart Shoppers Buy Holiday Gifts Early?

    Summary

    If you've never attended a jewelry trunk show, you're in for a treat. A trunk show brings in exclusive jewelry collections that aren't normally available in our showcases, giving you access to beautiful new styles before anyone else. Combine that with holiday pricing, a free gift with your appointment, and the opportunity to spread payments over several months, and it's easy to see why experienced shoppers start their Christmas shopping in July.

    This year's Christmas in July Trunk Show is happening Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16, and we can't wait to share these incredible collections with you.

    What Is a Jewelry Trunk Show?

    A jewelry trunk show is a special event where a designer or jewelry manufacturer sends an expanded collection directly to our store for a limited time.

    Instead of seeing just a small selection, you'll have access to hundreds of additional pieces that aren't normally available at Hopman Jewelers. Once the event is over, most of these styles return to the designer, making this a unique opportunity to shop exclusive jewelry.

    During our Christmas in July Trunk Show, you'll discover:
    • New jewelry arrivals 
    • Exclusive trunk show styles 
    • Limited-time holiday shopping specials 
    • Beautiful gifts for every budget 
    • One-on-one assistance from our experienced jewelry professionals 
    Whether you're shopping for a spouse, parent, child, or even yourself, you'll have a much larger selection than you would during a typical visit.

    Why Smart Shoppers Buy Holiday Gifts Early

    The holiday season has a way of arriving faster than expected.

    Shopping early gives you several advantages.
    Better Selection
    The most popular jewelry styles often sell quickly during November and December. Shopping in July means you'll have first choice of the newest collections before holiday demand begins.
    Less Holiday Stress
    Imagine finishing your Christmas shopping while everyone else is just starting to think about it.

    No crowded stores.
    No last-minute panic.
    No wondering if the perfect gift is still available.

    Instead, you'll enjoy the holidays knowing your shopping is already complete.
    Budget-Friendly Shopping
    Buying early gives you more flexibility with your finances.

    Rather than paying for everything during the busiest shopping season, you can spread your purchases over several months.

    At Hopman Jewelers, we make that even easier.

    Layaway Makes Holiday Shopping Easy

    One of the biggest advantages of shopping our Christmas in July event is taking advantage of our layaway program.

    Reserve the jewelry you love now and make convenient payments before Christmas arrives.

    Many of our customers appreciate having their gifts paid off well before the holidays, making December much less stressful.

    Interest-Free Financing Available

    Qualified buyers can also take advantage of interest-free financing, making it even easier to purchase the jewelry you've been dreaming about.

    Whether you're celebrating an engagement, anniversary, milestone birthday, or planning ahead for Christmas, financing can help you choose exactly what you want while keeping your monthly budget comfortable.
