“Open one door every morning – that’s the only rule.”

24pieces of jewelry behind 24 doors
13open rings that fit any finger
28Novembers at the same bench

“For 28 years you had to come to my counter to get one. This year, for the first and the last time, I’m sending them out into the world.”

– Loretta Kincaid, jeweler since 1980

✦ Behind the doors ✦What’s inside the box

Every calendar holds the same 24 pieces – a mix of silver-plated and gold-plated jewelry, so you never know which color the next morning brings.

6

Necklaces
Fine chains with little pendants: two stars, two hearts, a dove and an open circle.

1

Solitaire-style ring
Silver-plated, with one clear, sparkling stone.

4

Pairs of earrings
Gold crescents, engraved silver studs, tree-of-life discs and tiny Christmas trees.

13

Adjustable rings
4 in silver, 9 in gold – braided, wavy, knotted, one with a little gingerbread man.

All in one flat, copper-gold gift box with numbered doors, 9.8 × 7.1 in (25 × 18 cm).

✦ The difference ✦Why Loretta’s calendar is not like the others

No. 01

Checked under the lamp

Every clasp, every earring hook and every little jump ring is checked by Loretta before its door is closed. Stiff or bent pieces don’t go in.

No. 02

Rings for every hand

All 13 rings are open at the back. A gentle squeeze makes them smaller or bigger, so nobody has to guess a ring size.

No. 03

Silver and gold, mixed

Pieces in both finishes, so they go with whatever you already wear – or with each other, stacked.

No. 04

Start the day it arrives

You don’t have to wait for December 1st. Loretta has always said: 24 mornings with a little surprise, whenever they begin.

No. 05

Jewelry you actually wear

Small, delicate pieces that look right at work, at church or at the kitchen table – not costume pieces that end up in a drawer.

No. 06

Packed by her granddaughter

Kenzie packs every order herself and sends it out within 1–2 business days.

✦ Every morning ✦How it works

1

Find today’s number. 24 small numbered doors are cut right into the printed front.

2

Open today’s door. One piece of jewelry is waiting inside each one.

3

Wear it straight away. Rings adjust with a gentle squeeze, necklaces and earrings are ready to put on.

✦ Side by side ✦A mall calendar vs. Loretta’s calendar

Typical store calendar Loretta’s calendar
Chocolate, stickers or tiny trinkets 24 real pieces of jewelry
Fixed ring sizes that often don’t fit 13 open rings that fit any finger
Packed by a machine, never looked at Every clasp checked by hand
Forgotten by Christmas Eve Pieces you keep wearing all year
Made in the millions Final collection of 347

✦ The maker ✦Filled by hand in Stillwater

Loretta Kincaid opened her little jewelry shop on Main Street in 1980. In 1998 she made the first calendar for her nine-year-old daughter – and by the next November, half the town wanted one. For 28 years you could only pick one up at her counter.

Now Loretta’s eyesight is failing, and on December 13 she is closing her bench for good. These are her last calendars, and for the first time they are being sent out of Stillwater.

✦ Asked at the counter ✦Questions people ask Loretta

Will the rings fit me?

Yes. All 13 rings are open at the back. Press them gently to make them smaller or pull them apart slightly to make them bigger. They fit most fingers, from teenagers to grandmothers.

Is it solid silver or gold?

No – the pieces are silver-plated and gold-plated. That is what keeps 24 pieces at a price where a calendar can still be a gift.

Do I have to start on December 1st?

Not at all. Start the morning it arrives, or save it for whenever you like. It’s 24 mornings, not 24 dates.

Can I order more than one?

Yes. Many customers order one for themselves and one or two as presents. Choose the number of calendars above.

✦ No risk ✦30-day money-back guarantee

Try it at home. Open the first doors and wear the pieces. If the calendar doesn’t win you over, send it back within 30 days and get your money back.

✦ Looking after it ✦Care

Take your jewelry off before showering, swimming or cleaning, and keep it away from perfume and lotion. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth now and then, and store it in its little door or a dry pouch so pieces don’t scratch each other.

The Final Collection

A message from Loretta:

For 28 Novembers I filled these calendars at the bench by my shop window on Main Street, and you could only pick one up at my counter. Last spring the eye doctor told me it’s macular degeneration, and a jump ring is smaller than a grain of rice. These 347 calendars from my final collection are the last I will ever fill. Every clasp, every earring hook and every ring was checked under my lamp, polished and laid behind its door by hand.

My granddaughter Kenzie packs and ships them for me. They’re on sale until December 13 or until the last one has gone.

When they’re gone, they’re gone.

What Loretta's customers are saying

Customer photo 1

Opened door number one before the kids were up and it was the little star necklace. I have not taken it off since. I was expecting the cheap stuff that turns your neck green but it still looks the same after two weeks of wearing it every day.

Verified

Stacy M., Eau Claire, WI

Customer photo 2

My fingers are not what they used to be and I was sure the rings would never fit. They are open at the back so you just squeeze them a little. I am wearing three of them right now and my daughter wants the gold ones.

Verified

Judy K., Mankato, MN

Customer photo 3

Got it for myself because nobody else was going to lol. The tiny Christmas tree earrings are so cute and super light, I forget I have them on. The gingerbread ring is my favorite so far, people keep asking about it.

Verified

Alyssa P., Duluth, MN

Customer photo 4

We started it the day it came instead of waiting for December and I am glad we did. Box came packed really well, not a single dent. Every piece sits in its own little door so nothing gets tangled.

Verified

Tammy R., Sioux Falls, SD

Customer photo 5

Bought it as a gift and kept it. The rings look a lot more expensive than they are and the gold and silver go together really nicely. For what I paid I honestly expected trinkets. These are real pieces I wear to work.

Six days in and I keep everything in a little dish on my dresser. Colors are exactly like the pictures, the copper box is even prettier in person. Already ordered a second one for my sister before they run out.
