Hey everyone,

Life has been fantastic since I last saw you on our May 30th show.  I just got back to NYC after a month of living out in San Diego.  Honestly, I thought I was spoiled growing up in South Florida, but we have nothing on the amazing weather in San Diego.  I am officially jealous of everyone living out in California!

I wanted to share with you that this past Tuesday, June 18th, I had the privilege of introducing our new JAI John Hardy Summer collections and presenting a sneak peak of our Fall collections to several leading fashion editors and stylists at a special press preview.

After years of hosting these events for John Hardy, it was such a thrill to finally introduce the press to our new JAI collections.  I was especially excited that Jill Bauer was able to join me in our JAI Showroom in New York City.  Jill and I walked them through each of the designs to let them experience the beautiful inspirations behind our collections.

It was great to catch up with so many of them, to hear about their latest travels, upcoming trends, and, most importantly, to see how much they love the collections.  I will be sharing their ‘Editor’s Pick’ for the upcoming season, along with sneak peeks of our showroom, so be sure to check our latest updates!

After many months of curating new designs, I am very excited to invite each of you to our two shows coming up this Tuesday, June 25th.  Please mark your calendar and invite your friends and family over, as we take you on a trip through Northern Thailand.  We will continue our exploration of the ancient Kingdom of Sukhothai, experience the traditional craftsmanship found in the Bali Lanna collection, and introduce our brand new Pirod collection.

Please join me from 1-2pm EST with the the always delightful Antonella Nester.  Together we will debut the beautifully crafted new Pirod collection as well as new designs, new gemstones, and new materials from our Sukhothai collection.

Then, from 7-9pm EST, I will join Jill Bauer as she hosts two more hours featuring gorgeous new cocktail rings, cuffs, statement earrings, and beautiful necklaces from both our Bali Lanna and Sukhothai collections.

Since the Thai-inspired drinks have been such a big hit, I have attached two new recipes for everyone to enjoy while you watch the new shows.  I made these drinks last weekend and they were a big hit!

I look forward to seeing you all very soon and wish you only the best until then.  Please enjoy a couple of new designs that we will be premiering on our upcoming shows, and take a moment to join me on our JAI Facebook page and follow us on our JAIJewelry Twitter handle to get even more behind the scene features and sneak previews of what is to come.

Safe Travels,

Scott Grimes
