October is a special month in the world of gemstones, and here at Russakoff Jewelers we’re celebrating one of our favorite birthstones: the beautiful Tourmaline. As October’s birthstone, tourmaline is known for its incredible variety of colors, and it is especially meaningful to us because Maine is one of the premier sources of this dazzling stone. In fact, we’re proud to say that Russakoff’s has one of the largest selections of Maine Tourmaline in the entire state.
Andy has just finished creating some brand-new pieces in 14k gold featuring Maine Tourmaline, and they are truly stunning. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, these new designs highlight both the natural beauty of Maine stones and the expert craftsmanship that has been our hallmark for generations.
The holidays are just around the corner and we’re excited to be sponsoring several festive community events. Most notably, Russakoff Jewelers is proud to be the lead sponsor of Small Business Saturday (11/29) right here in our downtown community. This year’s celebration will include lots of giveaways, special promotions, and—perhaps the most exciting part —we’ll be announcing some big changes coming in 2026. Stay tuned!
Gold prices remain high, and we continue to buy a lot of gold from our customers. Customers can choose to receive cash or credit toward future purchases. At the same time, remounts have been in high demand. If you have family stones or jewelry you’d like refreshed, Andy handles every reset personally in-house, so rest assured! Your pieces are never sent out.
Jewelry is meant to be worn and cherished, which means from time to time, it needs a little care. Our customers trust us with their most treasured pieces because of Andy’s skill and attention to detail. As many of our clients have said:
“Andy does a great job, my pendant looks better than it did when I bought it!”

“I am a summer resident and save all my jewelry needs for Andy. There is no one in the state of North Carolina who compares!”

“Skowhegan is lucky to have a store like Russakoff’s! My family has done business with them for over 50 years.”

Whether it’s repairs, custom designs, or showcasing Maine’s finest gemstones, Russakoff Jewelers continues to be your trusted local jeweler.
