Did you know…

Sparkle Thots has a Facebook page? Or that we tweet our latest products? Didn’t know? Well, fan us on facebook and follow our tweets. This way, you’d always be in the know when there’s something new.

Besides… we are gonna be launching special promos through these two mediums soon. So quick get in on it and be in the loop. Always.

Gone completely crazy with loops and hoops! I love the imagery of the circle; no beginning and no end. It just continues forever. For the latest selection from Sparkle Thots, we have gone somewhat understated luxury. Simple hoops wirewrapped with faceted gemstones.

Choose yours in either 925 silver or gold plated elegance. Both come with faceted semi-precious gemstones that have been lovingly handwrapped for a somewhat organic, rustic yet very subdued elegant feel. You got to see it in person to be fully appreciate what I’m talking about.

All necklaces are approximately 16 inches long and close with lobster clasp. Pendants’ internal diameter is about 1/2 inch and has a drop of 2cm.

Available in store soon. Will be made available in a few more select colour combinations and is limited edition.

I’m thinking of making some changes to the routine over here… Weekends might just be the time when I get off one form of www and onto another. Instead of surfing the world wide web, I’m planning to turn the time into wire work weekends. For as long as I can before baby girl makes her appearance and wrecks all forms of a schedule that is.

This weekend was spent learning some new techniques that I hope to launch over at Sparkle Thots.

Chocolat

This piece has been launched in store already. A heady blend of rich chocolat Swarovski pearls for the afternoon cuppa. Imagine a tete-a-tete with friends and you’d be all set to complete the look. Quite yummy I must say. And without any of the calories too!

Endless Loops

Finetuning some design elements and will launch sometime this week if possible. Will need to reduce this pendant’s size into something more petite. Custom sizes will be considered.

Delicate Vines

And finally, bangles / bracelets might be making their long awaited comeback on Sparkle Thots! Watch for updates to this basic design. Again, feel free to email us if you have any design in your mind.

So, you think you’d forgive me for the lack of posts this (and upcoming) weekends?

1. What A Chirpy Fella, 2. Viola, 3. Square Tiles, 4. Rainbow Connection, 5. A Dainty Corsage, 6. Salsa, 7. Ode to Summer, 8. Honey Stars, 9. White Tulips

I don’t quite know how this week managed to pass by so quickly but here’s a Friday Selection all dedicated to weekend casuals… because you know, the weekend’s here!

Enjoy!

One fruit juice company just launched a new line which they had touted as being filled with power berries. And because they have been drumming it into the consumer’s head, ie, mine… I cannot get the name “Acai berries” out of my head. So when I beaded this pair of earrings last night, it felt apt to name them after the fruit that has been ‘bothering’ me.

Mauve shell pearls are capped with silver bead caps to dangle ala fruits off bali silver earwires. Simple, elegant and perfectly good for everyday use. Or glam it up with this pair. Just don’t clash the colours too much.

Now available in store.

Make cooking even more fun with these wooden blocks salt & pepper shakers. I’d love dining at a cafe that sets its tables with such salt & pepper shakers. So quaint! So fun! It feels like being a kid again. :D

Available at Greener Grass Design.

Sparkle Thots style. Something simple, chic and totally elegant. Makes for a great rehearsal night necklace for brides-to-be or a gift for a friend, or even yourself. Great for those tight on a budget too!

All the sparkle for less. Made with Swarovski crystals and set against a gold plated charm, this Socialite is ready to step out into the world. Now available in store.
