The turkeys have been eaten, the stockings have been hung and Christmas has officially begun. You know what that means: It’s time for wassail! Oh, and shopping, too. Okay, so maybe shopping should come before wassail. We’ll call shopping 1a, and wassail 1b. Luckily, Denton makes it easy to enjoy both. That’s because -- just as I do with your dating life -- I’m here to making shopping as easy, seamless and enjoyable as possible. Let’s focus first on the jewelry.
Whether you’re looking for your partner, spouse, child or friend, Denton has plenty of places perfect for finding that jolly jewelry you seek this holiday season. Here’s a rundown of where you can find what you seek:
McRae’s Fine Jewelers
Founded by veteran jeweler Chris McRae, this shop has been a Denton staple for four decades. As McRae prepares to pack it in for retirement, you have your last chance to buy his custom-made, one-of-a-kind pieces for your loved one. McRae’s offers elegant, high quality jewelry at a budget-friendly cost, and you can customize each piece to your heart’s content. Create something special and personalized at McRae’s, and thank Chris for his decades-long service of Dentonites.

First Peoples Jewelers
First Peoples has been helping Dentonites express their love since 1974. During that time, they’ve woven their way into our hearts with their wonderful assortment of rings, earrings, watches and more. The fine and fancy First Peoples pieces are perfect for gifts to partners and spouses, so if you’re thinking about a Christmastime proposal (or a beautiful ‘just ‘cause’ present) head on over to this luxurious shop on Elm Street.
