$58.00

From our Country Estate Collection – All that’s merry and bright sparkles from the festive ruby winter scene of our scalloped edge dinner plate. The perfect backdrop to your winter celebration, our plate mixes beautifully with our other collections.
Dishwasher (avoid high heat), Freezer, Microwave and Oven Safe. Our stoneware is oven safe up to 500 degrees. We recommend hand washing our collections including real gold and platinum, such as Firenze Medici; please note they are not microwave safe. Avoid cleaners that may contain citrus. For pieces that contain a non-ceramic component, such as the Soap Pumps or Tiered Server, we recommend handwash only. Metal markings on ceramics—While not common, metal trail markings do periodically occur on the stoneware surface over time dependent on your flatware. This is not due to a manufacturing defect in our ceramics. These marks are not scratches, but steel residue on top of the glaze left by stainless steel flatware. Using a combination of citrus cleansers and high heat in your dishwasher can lead to more prominent metal markings.

Description

Gina SaundersMeet Gina Saunders of Gaines Jewelers

Gaines Jewelers (formerly George L. Gaines after its original owner) has been a family-owned full-service jewelry and gift store in downtown Lakeland for 85 years. Originally opened as a watch repair shop,

George Gaines and his wife Doris elevated their business into a bridal, giftware,, and jewelry store. Suzanne Gaines continued that tradition.

New Ownership: In December 2017, Gina and Dean Saunders, both longtime Gaines customers, purchased the store and changed the name to Gaines Jewelers. Gina and Dean moved to Lakeland in 1983 after graduating from the University of Florida and getting married Dean went to work with then US Senator Lawton Chiles and Gina taught school. Dean currently owns Saunders, Raulston, and Dantzler Real Estate, a local real estate company.

Gina and Dean wanted to continue to be able to shop at their favorite store and have it continue its legacy as a generational business. The most impactful factor in the final commitment to purchase the business was news of Gina’s remission after battling stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. After 6 months of intense chemotherapy and endless amounts of prayer and support from her family and community, the news of being in remission was something to be celebrated – so Gina did just that.

Purchasing the store was her way of ‘celebrating every day’ – she loves and finds joy being a part of not only a legacy business but also being a part of all of our customers’ special moments to be celebrated.
