As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of big-box stores and online deals, but shopping locally has benefits that go far beyond convenience. Supporting local businesses like Russakoff Jewelers not only helps keep Skowhegan’s Downtown vibrant, but also directly invests in the community, creating jobs and supporting local artisans. Plus, when you shop locally, you’re helping build a more sustainable community—one that flourishes because of your support. 

Thanksgiving is a little later this year, which means the holiday shopping season will be a tight squeeze. Luckily, Skowhegan’s downtown is pulling out all the stops for its annual Small Business Event. This event is HUGE!  From November 30 through December 7, our local businesses will be participating in a week-long celebration of shopping local, with special offers, events, and treats to get everyone in the holiday spirit. This is the perfect chance to get a head start on your holiday shopping, beat the December rush, and find unique gifts that you won’t find anywhere else. And we’ll be there with bells on! 

Russakoff Jewelers will also be extending our shopping hours to help fit your busy schedule. Starting on 11/30, our store hours will be Tuesday to Friday from 10AM to 5PM, and on Saturdays we’ll be here to serve you from 10AM to 1PM. Also, don’t forget to consider booking an appointment so you can benefit from our famous one-on-one customer service attention. Call us at 207-474-9010 or 888 Maine Gems and we’ll be happy to book an appointment for you!  

This season, we’re excited to feature a stunning selection of estate diamonds. These one-of-a-kind pieces have a story and character that newer stones simply don’t. Whether you’re looking for a vintage-inspired engagement ring or a timeless diamond pendant, estate diamonds make a gift that’s both memorable and meaningful. They bring a unique charm and elegance that will make any Christmas sparkle brighter.

Looking for something truly unique? Custom jewelry is an incredible way to give a gift that’s as unique as the person receiving it. Our expert team at Russakoff Jewelers works closely with customers to bring their visions to life, ensuring every custom piece is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. If you’re considering a custom piece for Christmas, remember that we need time to design, perfect, and create it just for you, so to make sure it’s ready in time for the holiday, please place your custom orders by mid-November. Drop into the store or give us a call at 207-474-9010 or 888 Maine Gems and we’ll be happy to explain the process to you in more detail. 

We understand that the holiday season can stretch anyone’s budget. That’s why Russakoff Jewelers offers a convenient layaway option. Layaway lets you choose your ideal gift now and spread the payments out, making it easier to manage costs over the next few months without sacrificing quality. You’ll be able to put away something truly special without breaking the bank.

This holiday season, choose local, find something unique, and enjoy our famous warm, personalized shopping experience at Russakoff Jewelers. We look forward to helping you find the perfect gift that will dazzle your loved ones and make this season unforgettable. We look forward to seeing you soon!
