The Share your heart pendant, custom-designed by 4th Generation Jewelry Designer and Co-owner of Roman Jewelers, Lucy Zimmerman, is uniquely designed in sterling silver and retails for $100.00. The profits benefit to the customer’s favorite charity. There is always a charity that is close to someone’s heart. At Roman Jewelers, we felt creating a custom-designed pendant was the perfect way to reach out to local charities and the community with a broader message: WEAR, SHARE, CARE—Wear the pendant, Share the story of your favorite charity, Care and support our local community. And, in the last year, we have done just that by together raising nearly $5,000. The idea came from trying to do the most good in our community. Roman Jewelers wanted to create a custom designed piece of jewelry that would be special. Not just in its design, but in its message. When a person purchases the exclusive “Share Your Heart” pendant, Roman Jewelers donates the profit to the person’s favorite charity in their name and hopefully there is a story to share every time it is worn, spreading the word and striking up a meaningful conversation. Launched in October of 2018, the pendant was created by Roman Jewelers’, Co-owner and General manager, Lucy Zimmerman. Ms. Zimmerman selected a heart shape for this exclusive creation because it is truly a symbol that is universally adored and can be given as a gift to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, graduation or other special occasions. As a 4thGeneration jewelry designer, Lucy was determined to craft a distinct piece, which was kind of hard to do with a heart, but after many designs, she was able to design one that was very unique. When someone purchases this sterling silver pendant, which retails for $100.00, Roman Jewelers will donate the profits of $50.00 of the sale to the purchaser’s favorite charity in their name or in honor of anyone that they choose.“The check is literally in the mail,” says Ms. Zimmerman “and the charities are surprised and happy, when they open it,” she adds. The Share Your Heart pendant is sold to individuals in the Bridgewater store and through the Roman Jewelers website but the idea was to also provide a unique and thoughtful way to help local nonprofits with their own fundraising. Roman Jewelers created a promotional packet for the charities that they could use on their own, complete with a flyer, eblast, photography, and social media assets. Many charities have also sold the pendant at their events. From the Raritan Valley Community College foundation fundraisers to the Shaun O’Hara Golf Outing to benefit Cystic Fibrosis the word is spreading and locals are showing their support for the charity that is close to their heart. “Our BW NICE members know that the Share Your Heart pendant is truly a gift that keeps on giving. Besides making a wonderful present for special occasions, 50% of each purchase goes back to our organization so we can further build awareness to help finally put an end to domestic violence. We are so grateful to Roman Jewelers for their outstanding support of our mission, “ said Laura M. Cummins, president of the BW NICE Somerset County Chapter and owner of Nine Dotz Consulting. “It’s only been a year and we are very pleased with the amount of money that we all raised together. It is our hope that we can raise even more in the next year. Word is getting out,” says Ms. Zimmerman. She adds that when she wears her pendant around Bridgewater, people have approached her unknowingly and have asked her what charity she supports, “I tell them as many as possible.” Since the company’s beginnings 30 years ago, Roman Jewelers has been dedicated to supporting charities and working to improve our communities. It is in built the fabric of our company, and, it comes from within the people who work here, as well as our owners—Sophie and Roman Shor and their daughter, Lucy Zimmerman. The family has been recognized locally by many, many charities and business organizations including the YMCA, The Hunterdon Chamber of Commerce, The Hunterdon Medical Center, Raritan Valley Community College and The Red Shoe just to name very few. This year, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary, Roman Jewelers is providing a $5,000 donation to The Somerset Patriots Children’s Educational And Sportsmanship Foundation.

Roman Jewelers’ owners and staff proudly presented a $5,000 donation to the Somerset Patriots Children’s Educational and Sportsmanship Foundation. On Thursday, August 29th, Roman Jewelers celebrated their 30th Anniversary at the Somerset Patriots Ballpark in the best way possible—with the community. In honor of this milestone, owners Roman and Sophie Shor, along with their daughter Lucy Zimmerman, made a $5,000 donation to the Somerset Patriots Children’s Educational & Sportsmanship Fund on behalf of Roman Jewelers. The longevity of Roman Jewelers is rooted in their dedication to providing exemplary customer care and services, including custom jewelry design. Roman Jewelers also prides itself on carrying only the finest selections of diamonds and jewelry brands, including Rolex watches. Roman Jewelers’ journey began in 1980 when the family immigrated from the former Soviet Union. Roman initially worked from his basement as a bench jeweler until 1989, when his hard work paid off and he opened the first Roman Jewelers store in Flemington. The business later expanded to the Bridgewater Commons Mall, where it thrived for 17 years. Currently located at 500 Commons Way in Bridgewater, the business is managed by fourth-generation jeweler Lucy Zimmerman. While the family remains busy running the store, they have always made a meaningful effort to give back to the community that has, as Mrs. Zimmerman says, “graciously given us so much.” In this spirit—and to further celebrate their 30th anniversary—Roman Jewelers also sponsored the Somerset Patriots 2019 Bat Kid Program. This sponsorship provided a wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with many local children and families. The Shor and Zimmerman family is proud of both their business and their community. Their commitment stems from the gratitude felt by a young immigrant family welcomed into a community that embraced them and provided the freedom they longed for. “Thank you to all for 30 wonderful years… we look forward to many more and hope to continue supporting our local charities while spreading the message of generosity and positivity,” said Mrs. Zimmerman.

With Summer weddings in full swing and Fall Weddings on the horizon, now is the best time to buy your wedding bands. Here are a few things every couple will want to consider: How to decide on a wedding band? Usually, couples start with a certain style in mind. Simple or a bit of sparkle? What metal works (or is the most practical) and is matching important? One step at a time is our advice and working with Roman Jewelers will help you to decide on exactly what metals, gemstones and styles compliment you both! Our collection of wedding bands one of the largest in New Jersey and we are currently running our BOGO Wedding Ring Promo. Find out more https://www.romanjewelers.com/blog/events-at-roman-jewelers-are-always-in-season You might have different tastes There are really no rules if you like white gold and he likes yellow, or your individual styles don’t match. It’s personal and you both have to be happy — or you can compromise. We recently met a couple that threw both of their preferences out the window and compromised on something totally different than what they thought, and was more unique. Custom Design is a great option It’s always romantic to design your own ring and it is also fun. Sometimes, if you are looking for the perfect match or a wedding band that fits just the way you want, custom may be the only choice that will make you happy. The cost might be surprisingly less than you think. Purchasing your engagement ring and bands at the same time. A surprise is always a fun and romantic way to propose, but it isn’t for every couple. The benefit to purchasing the engagement ring and wedding bands at the same time is getting the perfect look or fit set before all the distractions of the wedding planning begin. Also, if you are choosing a custom designed wedding band, this will allow more than enough time to do so. Your Lifestyle is something to keep in Mind What is it you do everyday? You are going to want to wear your ring everyday. For some, that is easier than others. Often, men go for comfort, especially if they work with their hands everyday. Often, durability is an issue. Platinum works best if that is a concern. Are you a classic, long term romantic? If your plan is to wear your bands forever you may want to stay away from a more trendy design. But, in our experiences, many couples do celebrate their anniversaries at some point with a new band or a change to the design or addition of embellishments, like diamonds. It is really up to the couple but something we always ask. Sizing and Maintenance of your rings Working with Roman Jewelers makes this part easy. We will size your rings and ask all the right questions. We will work with you until the ring fits just as you wish. Sometimes, this means adding metal to the ring’s inside shank. Couples also need to keep the seasons in mind. Sometimes, fingers swell in Summer. We will also clean and polish your engagement ring before the wedding, and encourage our couples to come in regularly to check their rings and have them cleaned. We love….Love! And welcome you to make an appointment to discuss all of your ring needs with our staff. Happy Wedding. https://www.romanjewelers.com/make-an-appointment.html
