May and June are seasons of milestones here in Maine — university graduations at the end of May and high school graduations shortly afterwards in early June. At Russakoff Jewelers, we believe these moments deserve to be celebrated with something truly special: a gift that will last a lifetime and capture all the pride, joy, and love of this important chapter.
We’re honored to have been part of so many life milestones over the decades. As one longtime customer, Sharon S., shared:
“My parents gifted me a beautiful watch from Russakoff’s for my college graduation in 1955. It doesn’t keep time any longer, but I treasure it just the same. Every time I look at it I think of my parents and how proud they were that day that I was the first in our family to graduate from college.”
It’s stories like Sharon’s that remind us why jewelry is more than just a gift — it’s a memory made tangible.
Another customer recently told us:
“I wear the pendant my Mom gave me for graduation every day.”
We love hearing how our pieces continue to be part of everyday life, becoming personal talismans that carry the spirit of important moments.
If you’re shopping for someone graduating from a Maine school, we have something truly special: our sterling silver Maine-shaped pendants. Beautifully crafted and starting at just $100, they’re a lasting reminder of where their journey began. Our Maine jewelry line always draws extra attention this time of year, and it’s easy to see why — it’s a little piece of home they can carry with them, wherever life takes them.
Mother’s Day is also right around the corner! Be sure to mark off May 11th on the calendar to celebrate with mom this year. Whether it be an elegant pendant, a timeless watches, or a classic ring, Mom will be delighted. After all, no one deserves a meaningful token of appreciation more than she does.
At Russakoff Jewelers, we take pride in offering an experience you won’t get at the big chain stores. As Debbie S. from Massachusetts put it:
“We will never go anywhere else! The quality of the pieces and the knowledgeable, friendly staff is something you will never get from the chain stores.”
We love getting to know our customers and making each shopping experience personal and memorable, regardless of whether you’re local or visiting from afar, like David L. from California:
“Even though I moved out of Skowhegan years ago, if I need something special I give Andy a call and he makes it happen. He and Donna are always happy to meet on whatever weekend I am in town.”Appointments are always available to make sure you get the one-on-one attention you deserve. We’ll help you choose — or design — the perfect piece for graduation, Mother’s Day, or any special occasion. Schedule Your Appointment Today!
