Attachments started as a labor of love between two sisters who have always been "attached". Starting with Italian Charm Bracelets, which have charms attached to one another, they found they were 'attached' to more and more jewelry collections, and the name was born.

Through the years the business has grown to embrace our passion. Today's collections are selected so that anyone at any age and can find something just right for them at any price. Karen and staff are happy to work with you to coordinate gifts for special events, bridal parties, or to find the perfect gift or accessory for that special someone (including YOU!)

We are so pleased to be able to offer the extensive and beautiful showcase in our Flemington location, and we now offer a selection of our most popular collections online.

The most caring gift you can put in a stocking, in an advent calendar, under the menorah or just hand to anyone whose work you appreciate and want to recognize is a Gift Certificate for a Restorative massage. Save $20 dollars on the special we are offering for Shop Small Saturday. You can obtain a certificate just by calling 973-405-4503 or emailing our owner Andrea@getRestored.net and one will be sent to you immediately. It's also a great host/hostess gift that shows your appreciation for all the effort they put into creating Holiday celebrations.

Hi- I make handmade minimalistic beaded jewelry and I sell on Etsy. People appreciate unique, handmade gifts and my jewelry is reasonably priced and appeals to women of all ages. Right now, my beaded eyeglass chains are selling well- they make a great gift and are a practical item to by for yourself.
There are lots of local sellers/makers on Etsy trying to compete with the big stores without the budgets for promotion. They need support just like brick and mortar stores do! Thanks

Ok, I don't have a "Store", but I do have a Small Business! I own a small yoga studio; very cozy and serene. At this studio, you feel at once welcome and at home. All our teachers are 200 & 500 hour Yoga Alliance Certified and will give you the attention you need for your practice. Not for trendy gym bunnies, this is a place for real people to do real yoga. If you live in or near Rockland County NY, come check out our studio! Yoga gift cards make a unique and wonderful gift too! We hope to see you soon!
