Bluffton's newest business, 315 Walnut, offers sensibly priced jewelry
Sensibly priced jewelry from a variety of manufacturers is offered by Bluffton’s newest business, 315 Walnut, owned by Melinda and Dan Bowden.
Jewelry is primarily sold online but it is also available for sale in PromoHits! at 141 N. Main St., a business also owned by the Bowdens.
Most of the jewelry is priced under $30 and the majority is priced between $10 and $20, said Melinda.
Customers will find stainless steel rings, a variety of necklaces and necklace sets, bracelets and earrings.
“I’ve always been interested in jewelry,” said Melinda “and my family inspired me to do this.”
The business name, 315 Walnut, is inspired by Melinda’s grandmother, who lived at 315 Walnut in Wauseon.
Melinda explained that the jewelry is sold primarily online. The business offers free shipping using first-class shipping from the U.S. Postal Service. This method of shipping offers tracking. All orders are shipped from Bluffton.
While 315 Walnut is housed in the PromoHits! Office, the two businesses separate from one another.
PromoHits!, which has been in business 14 years, will continue to offer promotional products, printing, business cards, letterheads, brochures and some clothing items.
Store hours for both businesses are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
