In 2018, American Jewelry and Loan is celebrating 40 years in business! Some of the most important contributions to their longevity and success are certainly a result of the influence of Les Gold’s wife, Lili. On Saturday, April 7th from 2-4 pm they will be unveiling pieces from a collection of jewelry that features a design commissioned by Lili herself and manufactured in their iconic Detroit store using the latest in 3D Printing technology. The collection will feature pieces in a variety of price points that will be limited production, only available in 2018. A portion of proceeds will support one of Lili’s favorite charities, Wigs 4 Kids. We thank Lili for her love & generosity toward our program.
