A local jewelry designer is the latest entrepreneur to open a store downtown.
DK Jewelry Designs is hosting a grand opening party from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday at its location at 200 Pearl St., at the corner of Pearl and Harrison streets.
Danielle Kline is the proprietor of the jewelry boutique, which features contemporary and unique jewelry designs made from gold, sterling silver, gemstones, diamonds and Swarovski crystal. To see what the jewelry looks like, go to http://www.dkgold.com/.
Patrons can take advantage of several specials the night of the grand opening:
♦ Sample wine provided by WineStyles and chocolates provided by DeBrand Fine Chocolates in the adjoining Pearl Gallery.
♦ Take advantage of discounts of up to 25 percent on jewelry.
♦ Make a donation to Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana and receive an oyster that contains a pearl. The pearl comes with a free custom design pearl consultation with Kline, and you'll also be entered in a drawing to win a custom Tahitian pearl necklace valued at $1,000.
Kline designs most of the pieces and picks out the stones, and then sends the design and stones to Los Angeles to be cast. The prices of her jewelry range from $30 to $500 or more, but she said the bulk of her line sells in the $50 to $150 range. She likes to keep the jewelry priced low enough to accommodate “spontaneous buying.”
The store officially opens at noon Thursday. Hours will be noon-6 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; by appointment Saturdays; and closed Sundays and Wednesdays.

Snow show

Dealers will be offering specials on clothing, snowmobiles, ATVs, and other accessories. Attendees also can take the DNR Snowmobile Safety Course, get instruction in bow hunting and ice fishing from Gander Mountain employees, or peruse the indoor swap meet. The show is open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for those under 10. Parking is $4 per vehicle.
New ‘used' store
Ready to refresh your music, movie or video game collection? Maybe you'd like part with that old Atari game system collecting dust in your attic, or maybe you'd like to get your hands on one for old time's sake.
Then you'll want to pay a visit to Disc Replay of Fort Wayne, a store that opened a week ago at 4726 Coldwater Road. It's in the same plaza as Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts.
