When Salvatore Ferragamo died of cancer in 1960, he left behind an Italian widow who had never worked a day in her life, and six children, aged 18 to two years old. Because Salvatore believed strongly that women should have equal access to business, he had brought his oldest child, Fiamma in to learn the family business.

“I look at Delamina as my e-commerce partner,” said Agor. “We share the same sense of integrity in providing the best pieces to unique individuals who share an experience with their jewelry. We were a good fit from the very start. My customers are self-purchasers who have a relationship with the jewelry they select for themselves.” Agor’s designs are inspired from his world travels as he truly incorporates his spirit into each piece. He sources his stones through out the world and has personal relationships with the families who supply him with the cognac diamonds, fire opals and Australian opals that he uses in his one of a kind designs.

“Valentines Day has traditionally been all about a man chasing and wooing a woman and luring her with shiny objects,” stated Cheryl Black, COO. “But how often do we fall in love with something that our partner chooses? We think that jewelry should be viewed as an extension of one’s individual style and taste, and that women should feel a sense of excitement, not remorse, for rewarding themselves with a beautiful piece of jewelry.”

Delamina, the new jewelry site designed specifically for women, today announced their post-holiday sale with deep discounts of up to 40% off on select merchandise, and free shipping through January 31, 2009. Shoppers can search for sale or “Delamina Dot” items through the site’s advanced jewelry search, and receive added savings by entering available bonus codes upon checkout.

“We applaud women who live on their own terms,” said Black. “Jewelry is about personal style. We believe a woman shouldn’t wait for a man to buy her a piece of jewelry, or worse, for permission to buy her own. Delamina recognizes and respects the fact that women make their own decisions. We also promise fun and whimsy. While we take quality and authenticating each piece very seriously, we also think shopping for jewelry doesn’t need to feel stuffy.”
