Anfesa's Jewelers hosted its Annual Holiday VIP Night in conjunction with the Garner Chamber After Hours Event on December 4, 2025, facilitating connections among local businesses and residents during the holiday season. The gathering occurred from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the store in Garner, North Carolina, emphasizing community engagement and collaborative partnerships.
The event featured refreshments such as signature cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and treats supplied by Unforgettable Food Affairs, a local catering service. Attendees also explored fashion items from Little Details Boutique, another area business, alongside jewelry displays from Anfesa's Jewelers. These collaborations highlighted the role of joint efforts in supporting the local economy and fostering professional networks.
Raffles and prizes were distributed throughout the evening, contributing to the festive atmosphere. A special appearance by the Dancing Grinch added entertainment, with the character interacting with participants and sharing holiday surprises. An interactive scratch-off game provided participants with opportunities to receive discounts on jewelry purchases, encouraging engagement with the displayed collections.
The partnership with the Garner Chamber of Commerce underscored the event's focus on business networking. Such gatherings allow local entrepreneurs and professionals to exchange ideas and build relationships in a relaxed setting. By combining the VIP night with the chamber's after-hours program, Anfesa's Jewelers contributed to community-building initiatives in the region.
On-site master jewelers demonstrated custom design consultations and repair services, offering insights into jewelry maintenance and personalization. Attendees viewed various collections, including their engagement rings in Raleigh, NC, which formed part of the store's bridal offerings. This aspect aligned with the event's theme of sharing resources and expertise among community members.
"The Annual Holiday VIP Night serves as a key opportunity for local businesses to collaborate and strengthen ties within the Garner community," said Anfesa Matthews, Owner of Anfesa's Jewelers. "Partnering with the Garner Chamber and other entities like Unforgettable Food Affairs and Little Details Boutique enables us to create meaningful experiences that benefit everyone involved."
Perspectives from chamber representatives emphasized the value of these joint events in promoting regional growth. Similar sentiments from attendees noted the event's role in enhancing holiday spirit through shared activities and networking. These interactions reinforced the importance of community partnerships in sustaining local traditions.
Anfesa's Jewelers maintains selections of wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, and watches, alongside certified pre-owned luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex, Tissot, and Triton. Custom design processes involve client collaboration using 3D modeling for accurate results, while the repair shop handles appraisals and restorations.
Recognized as a bridal destination in the Triangle area, the store assists with selections for engagements and weddings. Its location near facilities like the Grand Marquise Ballroom supports coordinated planning for special occasions.
"Events like this one illustrate how partnerships can enrich community life and provide platforms for local businesses to thrive together," said Matthews. "The gathering allowed participants to connect in ways that extend beyond the holiday season."
Established in 1993 as a family-owned operation, Anfesa's Jewelers has expanded its inventory to include fine jewelry items. The business operates in the Triangle region with a repair facility and focuses on serving families across generations through its offerings.
The event's structure promoted inclusivity, drawing diverse participants from the area. By integrating elements from multiple local partners, it demonstrated effective community collaboration.
