Wherever she lives, Dana Forbes sets up a studio for her jewelry-making business. Right now that studio is in a sparely decorated, mostly white room in Montauk that is accented by her signature color, purple, on gift boxes wrapped in silver ribbon and waiting to be filled.

    “So it looks like a beautiful gift from the outside too,” she said on Monday, dressed in a colorful caftan, her hands resting on her pregnant belly.

    Ms. Forbes has been making jewelry for 10 years — more seriously in the last few. Just this week she launched danaforbesjewelry.com, officially making the line available nationally. She worked on Wall Street as a trader, a job she called successful but stressful, before she went into bridal fashion. “I used that opportunity to learn the bridal market for my bridal line,” she said.

    Soon after she started making jewelry, she was approached by family, friends, and complete strangers who admired the unique pieces she wore. Her family, she said, is always outfitted in her jewelry. On a recent visit she had two gold charm necklaces draped from her neck and a slew of beaded bracelets dangling from her wrist.

    On the Web site, she offers a bridal collection that includes thank-you gifts for the maid of honor, bridesmaids, and the mother and mother-in-law of the bride. All pieces can be custom made to complement a bride’s wedding attire or to suit a signature style and color. “It’s a hard market to find good gifts in. As a bridesmaid you tend to get the same thank-you gifts over and over. The cool thing about the Web site is that every piece can be customized and changed,” Ms. Forbes said.

    For the necklaces, bracelets, and earrings she makes, she is always inspired by nature, she said, adding that Montauk is a great place for that.

    Using gold, silver, and a variety of gemstones including peridot, amethyst, garnet, aquamarine, coral, and turquoise, her line is totally organic, she said. From her delicate chains, some of which are beaded, hang charms of pearls, translucent stones, tree leaves, birds in flight, bugs, an owl, and other critters. “I buy a lot of stuff from the Manhattan jewelry district,” she said.

    The jewelry has been featured in magazines such as Lucky. Ms. Forbes has sold at craft fairs and to Kailani, a women’s clothing boutique, and Lila Yoga, both in Montauk. Her line is sold at yoga studios from New York to Los Angeles and at Pure, a national division of the popular Equinox studios.

    Prices start at $48. She will soon be sending out an e-mail blast to 5,000 potential customers to alert them that the Web site has been launched. Once her baby boy arrives sometime next month, the family, which includes her husband, Mike, and 3-year-old son, Phoenix, will make the move to Manhasset to be closer to her husband’s work. The new house is sure to have a studio.

Eco-Chic

    Sweet ’tauk, Montauk’s juice haven now in its second year of operations, will try its hand at sweetening up the hamlet’s fashions. A pop-up shop at its 34 South Etna Avenue store will show off Made in Montauk, a locally made eco-chic clothing line which boasts organic hand-dyed and hand-block printed designs. There will be an opening reception at the shop tomorrow from 4 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The sale runs through Friday, Aug. 24.

Summery Bling

    Looking to take a piece of summer home with you? On Saturday, Kailani, Montauk’s Hawaiian-influenced fashion and jewelry outlet, will have a trunk show with several vendors. Pieces such as freshwater and Tahitian pearls by Pearl. Love and a Montauk Point coordinates necklace from Rockabella Jewels will be among the many items available.

    Kailani is at 729C Montauk Highway; the sale is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

   “You guys are our favorite part of East Hampton!” said a satisfied customer of Hamptons Free Ride as she hopped into the back seat of one of the shuttles on its way back to town from the beach. And from the complimentary snacks and giveaways, electric, eco-friendly shuttles, and engaging drivers who open doors for you, all the way to the titular no-charge rides, it’s easy to understand why she felt that way.

    The brainchild of James Mirras and Alex Esposito, the shuttle service runs in fixed loops in East Hampton and Montauk, and has recently expanded to Amagansett.

    Mr. Esposito and Mr. Mirras have premised their business on the power of things being free. “People tell us we could charge for rides all the time, but that’s just not what we’re about,” Mr. Mirras said he pulled up to one of the main stops on the East Hampton route and opened the door for a new rider. Above all else, their goal, he said, “is to give our passengers a fun and enjoyable experience.”

    This is not to say that Hamptons Free Ride, or HFR, has no interest in profits; the owners have made up for the free rides by compiling an array of sponsors, from Vita Coco to Heineken and even ABC’s Hamptons-based TV show “Revenge.”

    Hamptons Free Ride is in only its second year of operation but seems to be on the way up. The business has launched two new routes and ideas are being formulated for operations beyond Long Island.

   The business in Amagansett Square owned by Lorraine Otto and known for several years as Kembali Bebas has been renamed Miankoma, meaning assembly place in either the Montaukett or Delaware Indian language.

    Brandee Torakis-Shiga, who works at the shop, which is at the back of the square to the right, wrote in an e-mail that she and Ms. Otto carry clothing for women from size 0 to 16, “no frump, just fit.” She went on, “the wide variety of jewelry, candles, and accessories are always ‘One size fits all.’ ” Ms. Torakis-Shiga said that they like to make their customers feel special, which they extend to personalizing their Christmas ornaments.

    The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (sometimes later) seven days a week.

Design Studio’s New Web Site

    The Design Studio is celebrating the launch of its new Web site, designstudio-ny.com, this weekend at its Bridgehampton gallery. The gallery currently features the work of John Deng, whose photographs express the life and story of the places and people of China. Refreshments and Raphael wines from the North Fork will be served Saturday and Sunday, and a 15-percent discount will be offered this weekend to customers who purchase in the store or on the Web site.

Collette “Super Sale”

    Collette Designer Consignment, a Sag Harbor shop, will hold its second annual “super sale” Saturday through Aug. 5. Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and other designer consignment items will be offered at up to 90 percent off. The sale will be held in the Bridgehampton Community House at 2357 Montauk Highway from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.

    “That’s definitely the cheapest way out of the situation,” said Max Corrigan to Danielle Wright, one of three women clustered around his work table, each of them with a different smartphone crisis. Behind them, all the way to the door, stood a waiting line of customers.

    Ms. Wright wanted an iPhone 4S, and Mr. Corrigan had surfed through her account with AT&T, searching for a way to make her existing contract work with the new phone. He placed a special order for it, meaning it would take several days to reach the East Hampton AT&T shop at the Newtown Lane entrance to the Schenk parking lot, and Ms. Wright stepped away from the table, smiling.

    In front of Mr. Corrigan on the long, tall, narrow steel table that serves as his work space, were two running laptops and a Playbook extension for his own smartphone of choice, the Blackberry Bolt. At any moment he may be diagnosing and working on several cellphones at once, their backs off. To his left, one day last week, was an open can of Monster Espresso. Jimi Hendrix was playing softly through Playbook.

    “Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have,” Hendrix sang, as Mr. Corrigan kept in motion.

    “Rock ’n’ roll helps, that’s true,” he said, opening another phone. His tastes in music are eclectic. “Anything but the 1980s,” he said.

    “You’ve got 14 days left on your warranty,” he told another customer, who’d come in with a non-functioning Blackberry Torch. “It’s not moisture, and it’s not cracked. You should be covered.” He gave the man the 800 number at AT&T he would need to call to set up a return.

    Mr. Corrigan’s advice for dealing with customer service at AT&T is simple: “Get somebody decent on the phone. If they sound like they can’t help you, hang up and call back.”

    The store’s phone rang, and he answered it, his eyes darting back and forth between two laptop screens. “Yeah, this is Max. I’m an AT&T guy.”

    He does his best to help callers, but his main focus is the steady stream of customers who come through the door of the shop, up to 300 a day, he said, during the season.

    “I think I have help coming, but I’m pretty slammed,” he tells the caller, explaining why he can’t help at the moment. “You can keep trying.”

   c said Mr. Corrigan’s younger brother, Dhruva Corrigan, who arrived to give Max a few minutes off.

    The Corrigans were born and raised in Sag Harbor. “My son makes it 14 generations,” the elder brother said. He is 26 and married with a 16-month-old son.

    He first worked for Todd Powell, the owner of the Bridgehampton AT&T store, on the recommendation of a family friend. “We opened the East Hampton shop in 2010, been running it ever since,” Mr. Corrigan said, as he popped open another phone.

    “I swam with it in my pocket for half an hour,” Charles Helmuth of East Hampton said sheepishly.

    Mr. Helmuth said of Mr. Corrigan, “He has the patience of Job.”

    The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” was now playing, but in Mr. Corrigan’s world, everything was coming down smooth and easy, in a multitasking sort of way.

New Owners for UPS Store

    The UPS Store at 81 Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village is under new ownership. Chet Borgida, a retired financial executive, has taken over the store with his wife, Susan, a senior executive for a healthcare management firm.

    This is the couple’s first entrepreneurial venture. They plan to expand their services to include online printing and other business services. Greg Simmons will stay on as manager and Diane Peralta as assistant manager.

    Mr. Borgida has been an East Hampton homeowner since 1983.

Jewelry Appraisals

    Christie’s, the international auction house, is sending its New York jewelry specialist Jennifer Rosenthal here this weekend to appraise fine jewelry and to accept some pieces for upcoming auctions.

    Ms. Rosenthal will be at the East Hampton office of Brown Harris Stevens, 27 Main Street, from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Brown Harris Stevens and Christie’s are affiliates.

Courage to Be Benevolent

    Through tomorrow, Courage.b, a women’s clothing boutique, will donate 15 percent of all online and in-store sales at its Southampton location to Same Sky, a fair-trade jewelry company. Courage.b has stores on Main Street in East Hampton and Job’s Lane in Southampton.

    On Saturday, a cocktail party and trunk show at the East Hampton store will feature Same Sky’s collection of necklaces and bracelets hand-crocheted by women in Africa. Those who plan to attend have been asked to e-mail [email protected].

Island Hopping

    Kailani, a boutique on Montauk Highway in Montauk, is teaming up with machinemachine and Halele’a Gallery of Kauai, Hawaii, for a shopping event at Kailani on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. “Island Hopping: From Kauai to Montauk” will feature jewelry from Halele’a Gallery and other designers, new dress styles all hand-sewn on the island of Kauai, and machinemachine’s vintage-inspired trucker hats.

New Face at MKL

    Robert Lubin has joined MKL Construction in East Hampton, a family business spanning three generations, as head of business development. Mr. Lubin, who has lived in East Hampton for 10 years, previously worked in financial sales and trading. He also worked as a licensed real estate agent before deciding to further pursue real estate and construction.
