To say the past few days have been a rollercoaster for the RGD team would be an understatement. Every day it's been something new and we've been doing our best to take this tough situation day by day. Last night we announced the closure of our stores for the foreseeable future and made the heartbreaking decision to lay off 12 very wonderful and hardworking women. Without their contributions RGD wouldn't be what it is as they've helped us grow into the business we are today.
Moving forward we will be transitioning our operations to our private studio space and the Short North location, as well as expanding jewelry offerings online. RGD is now staffed by five team members, including our owner and founder Kate, and we are continuing to choose hope over fear while we navigate this. The Short North store will be open 12pm-4pm Sunday through Monday by appointment only for shopping and will still offer our local pick up option for any orders paid for online by invoice or on Etsy. We will do everything we can to accommodate the method of shopping you are most comfortable with! We've outlined all of the ways you can continue to support us below, even from comfort of home. Each item you purchase will be handmade with love and care by one of us <3 ETSY We're running a sale on Etsy offering 15% off everything–including sale items–with free shipping on any order! We've already added some new items (we're talking lots of statement acetate earrings because we know you love those) and will continue to add a larger variety of pieces for you to choose from. The biggest change you'll see on our shop is the addition of a "One of A Kind" section where we will be posting one-off designs we usually send to our brick and mortar stores. Our new items will have a variety of price points too! Browse through some of our online options at the end of this post by clicking the item photos. The in-store local pick up option is still available (at the Short North store only) if you leave your phone number as a note on your order. Out of respect for customers who would prefer not to shop in-store or live out of state we are allowing everyone to redeem their $10 off rewards earned by shopping with us in-store on Etsy. If you'd like to use your $10 off please provide us with the phone number connected to your rewards account and we will manually refund the amount back to you after purchase. FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM The items pictured in photos we post to our Facebook and Instagram pages are always available for purchase if we still have them in stock. If you see a necklace, earrings, bracelet, or ring on our feed you're interested in buying just send us a message or comment on the post and we can let you know the price. If you choose to buy an item this way we will send an invoice for your order via PayPal using your email address and ship it once the invoice is paid. Any orders placed this way will also receive 15% off and free shipping! LOCAL DELIVERY If you live within I-270 and would like your order delivered quicker than shipping we're offering free local delivery if you provide us with your address. We will do our best to deliver the same day if possible! HAVE ANOTHER NEED? JUST ASK! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you have about the new shopping methods we've made available to you. We want to work with you as much as we can to make you feel safe and make the shopping experience stress-free! Thank you so much for choosing to support small businesses when we need it most.
