Don Purcell Jewels & Art will open in September. Formerly the general manager of the well-loved Atlanta store Jeffrey, Purcell will open a fine jewelry and art gallery featuring modern fine jewelry from high-end designers. The gallery will also feature works by mixed media artist Ashley Longshore in the form of art, handbags and hostess gifts. Jewelry will include rare colored stones and diamonds, handcrafted 18 karat gold paired with custom cut geometric white diamonds and handmade couture pieces.

HERMARKET is a community and marketplace for luxury and contemporary women-owned brands, focusing on women of color and the women who love them.

The space will present products from locally- and womenowned brands and will offer apparel, jewelry, accessories, home goods, skin and body care, and wellness products. Look for Gilded Body, a luxury body care and home fragrance company; Suakoko Betty, clothing inspired by modern African designs; and Sawdust + Fabric, featuring custom home decor and furniture. www.buckheadvillagedistrict.com Atlanta Dairies
