Nordstrom hosts jewelry designer

Nordstrom is hosting a trunk show and appearance by jewelry designer Bony Levy today and Friday in the second-floor fine jewelry department.

The trunk show runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Levy sharing his design inspirations and meeting with fans today only.

His handmade collections reflect simple yet elegant designs that can be worn every day. Included are diamond and semiprecious stone jewelry, and stackable rings and bangles.

Customers will receive a 25 percent discount on trunk show pieces during the two-day event.

The Nordstrom anniversary sale is also on, reversing the usual end-of-season tactic by presenting new merchandise from such favorite brands as rag & bone, Rebecca Minkoff, Vince, Diane von Furstenberg, Rebecca Taylor and Stuart Weitzman on sale through Aug. 4, when prices go back up to regular levels.

Don’t make the same mistake I did last year when I waited too long to pick up a Minkoff purse that sold out, never to be seen again at regular price or online.
