The Incredible Journey: How This Dazzling Collection Found Its Way to Steamy Kitchen

The story behind this magnificent jewelry collection is quite extraordinary, a tale of unexpected turns, entrepreneurial spirit, and ultimately, a heartfelt desire to give back. It all began back in January—or perhaps even earlier, as this entire year has truly flown by in a blur—when I stumbled upon an incredible opportunity. The local Sears in Las Vegas was undergoing its final liquidation, clearing out all remaining inventory, including a substantial collection of fine jewelry. Seizing the moment, I acquired a lot of over 100 breathtaking pieces of Effy jewelry at an astonishing liquidation price. My initial thought was clear: “This is a perfect chance to launch an online discount jewelry store!”

The Effy fine jewelry pieces I acquired were nothing short of stunning, adorned with brilliant diamonds, rich rubies, deep garnets, captivating sapphires, and an array of other exquisite precious stones. This is, as many of you know, a very well-known and highly respected brand, regularly featured in luxury retailers such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and exclusive high-end cruise ship jewelry boutiques. The potential for a thriving online business seemed immense, and the quality of the merchandise was undeniable.

My team and I poured our energy into this new venture. We dedicated two months to meticulously photographing each piece, building the intricate framework of an online store, and crafting a comprehensive business plan. We were on the cusp of launching, filled with anticipation and excitement for this new chapter. And then, as fate would have it, COVID-19 struck. I remember shaking my fist in the air, exclaiming, “Curse you, COVID!”

As the world grappled with unprecedented challenges, with countless individuals facing layoffs and economic uncertainty, the idea of launching a luxury jewelry store just didn’t feel right. My heart wasn’t in it; it felt insensitive to celebrate new commercial endeavors when so many were struggling. Consequently, I made the difficult decision to put the entire project on hold, patiently waiting for a more opportune time. However, that “better time” has yet to fully materialize, and in the interim, all these beautiful, valuable pieces of jewelry have been quietly residing in my safe deposit box at the bank, taking up precious space. Moreover, my initial enthusiasm for being a jewelry retailer had, honestly, waned.

It was then that my incredible team came up with a brilliant, heartwarming solution: “Let’s just give it all away.” And yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Every single piece of it. We are giving away the entire collection, which boasts an astounding retail value of $167,380.00. This is our way of spreading joy, showing gratitude, and brightening lives, especially during these challenging times.

Frequently Asked Questions: Your Curiosity Satisfied

We know you’re brimming with questions about this incredible giveaway, and we’re here to answer them transparently and honestly. Here are some of the most common inquiries we’ve received:

  1. Is the jewelry authentic? Absolutely, yes. We understand that authenticity is paramount, especially when it comes to luxury items. Rest assured, every single piece of jewelry comes with its original Effy tag, clearly displaying the retail price. We purchased this entire Effy collection directly from Sears, a long-standing and highly reputable retailer of genuine Effy jewelry. We maintain a clear, verifiable receipt from Sears documenting this significant acquisition. We guarantee that all prizes are 100% authentic Effy creations.
  2. Are you truly giving away all this jewelry? YESSSSSS! Our commitment to this giveaway is unwavering. The joy and excitement we anticipate seeing on the faces of our lucky winners are what truly drive us. This isn’t just a promotion; it’s a genuine gesture of generosity and appreciation for our loyal community. We can hardly wait to share these sparkling treasures with you!
  3. Are you REALLY giving away $167,380.00 worth of jewelry? We agree, that sounds like an enormous sum of money, doesn’t it? To clarify, the $167,380.00 figure represents the full retail price of all the pieces combined, had they been purchased individually from a standard retail outlet. We were fortunate enough to acquire this entire collection at liquidation prices, meaning our actual expenditure was a small fraction of that amount. This distinction allows us to offer such an incredible giveaway, providing winners with truly high-value items without the full retail cost to us.
  4. Why are you giving away such valuable jewelry? This question delves into the very heart of Steamy Kitchen’s philosophy. We’ve been passionately publishing Steamy Kitchen for an incredible FOURTEEN YEARS now! From day one, giveaways have been an integral part of our community engagement, starting with modest items like cookbooks and charming kitchen gadgets. Over the years, and particularly intensely over the past eight years, we’ve strategically integrated giveaways and sweepstakes as a significant cornerstone of our business model. Our operational income, which ultimately funds these wonderful prizes, is generated through advertising on our website. We know that ads aren’t everyone’s favorite, but they are the engine that allows us to bring these incredible opportunities to you. Do we expect to recoup the full retail value of this jewelry inventory directly from this giveaway? Probably not. However, the overall success and continued growth of our website, especially this past year, have been profoundly good. It seems the necessity of staying home due to Covid has encouraged more people to cook, explore new hobbies, and find a little fun by entering sweeps on SteamyKitchen.com. This year has truly blessed us, and we are overflowing with gratitude and a strong desire to share this good fortune and prosperity with our amazing community.
  5. How will I know if I’ve won a prize? Transparency and clear communication are key at Steamy Kitchen. Every single one of our giveaway winners is prominently listed on our dedicated winners page here. We also announce new winners each week in our highly anticipated weekly newsletter and feature them in a special weekly blog post. To further celebrate our winners and demonstrate the genuine nature of our giveaways, many (in fact, most) recipients graciously provide us with a smiling photo, which we publish so you can see real people winning real, fantastic prizes. Critically, we email winners directly from [email protected]. To ensure you never miss a winning notification, please make sure to add [email protected] to your contacts list, and if our newsletters or emails accidentally land in your “promotions” or spam folder, please drag them into your primary “inbox.” Your prize awaits!
