Dean’s Jewelry launches Hope Sparkles event

Dean’s Jewelry is bringing new meaning to a longtime customer favorite this June. The annual repair and shine event will return with a renewed purpose under a new name, Hope Sparkles. This community-focused initiative is designed to care for customers’ jewelry while giving back to local families in need.

The event will take place Tuesday through Saturday, June 16-20 at both Dean’s Jewelry locations in Coshocton and Mount Vernon, combining complimentary jewelry services with charitable support for each community’s local United Way. The Coshocton location will support United Way of Coshocton County while the Mount Vernon location will support United Way of Knox County.

For years Dean’s Jewelry has offered repair and shine as an opportunity for customers to bring in their most meaningful pieces for professional cleaning, inspection and repair. This year the experience expands beyond jewelry care, introducing a give-back component that allows customers to support their community simply by participating.

“Repair is about restoring what we love,” co-owner Michelle Turner said. “Hope Sparkles connects that idea to something bigger. When we help a piece of jewelry shine again, we’re also helping people right here in our community.”

Throughout the event customers can get complimentary jewelry cleaning, polishing and repair assessments. As part of the initiative, a $5 community donation will be added to each repair service on behalf of Dean’s Jewelry, with additional optional donations available at checkout.

Guests also can participate in a jewelry raffle benefiting each location’s United Way partner. Raffle tickets will be available for $10 each, three for $25 or eight for $50, with all raffle proceeds supporting United Way.

As part of the week, Dean’s Jewelry will host Sparkle Match Day Friday, June 19, during which the company will match community donations up to $1,000.

Each community also will have a local ice cream favorite joining the celebration. Guests in Coshocton can get Jared’s Ice Cream, featuring 32 flavors of ice cream in downtown Coshocton. On Sparkle Match Day June 19, Mount Vernon guests can get Chrome Cones, a soft-serve ice cream truck inspired by classic cars, shiny chrome and classic American muscle. Every ice cream customer receives one free raffle ticket.

Customers are encouraged to stop in during the event week to take advantage of complimentary services, local treats and the raffle and to help support families in the Coshocton and Mount Vernon communities.
