When I dropped by yesterday, there was no line to get in. It wasn’t crowded but there were 20+ people browsing around. You can definitely drop by during your lunch hour and make it back to work on time without getting fired.
The venue space is spacious and has good lighting for the baubles. All the jewelry are showcased as they would at a retail store. The sales people are friendly. However, most discounts were set at 30% for more current styles, signature links and bangles with semi-precious stones. Some of the higher end stuff was marked down to 40% off retail prices. I saw a few watches for both men and women. There’s a few small cases towards the back marked down to 70% off. These were mostly thin bangles with floating semi-precious stones, not their signature thick cable bangles.
I’ve seen David Yurman marked down to 25% off at Bloomingdales. For the past few years just before the holiday season, DY has also set up a pop-up store at Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets with much better discounts. Most jewelry and watches were marked down to around 50% off there. This F&F sale is not revolutionary but if you’re lusting over some new David Yurman bling, head over, you’ll be sure to find something. There’s litterally thousands of pieces there to look over. Good luck!
Here are a few photos from the sale:
