the look for less

January 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment

just got my hands on some lovely glass briolettes. Lovely faceting, a nice weight… basically, the look for less. Handwrapped with 925 silver wires on silver chain for a lariat that reminds me of rain. Refreshing for such a time as this.

Over the past year, there has been a gradual shift towards the semiprecious stones and charm / momento series, and a lessening of the ‘odds and ends’. I still have mountain [...]

Meantime, aren’t these labradorite onion briolettes simply stunning?! The blue flashes on this batch is amazing. [...]

In any case, a couple of items are marked down, left with one item in stock or priced at a steal. They make lovely gifts if I may so, especially [...]

As 2010 rolls in, we’ve taken Sparkle Thots offline. As we had mentioned earlier, we’re doing a major overhaul of the site’s backend and hope to return with a streamlined version soon. Meantime, our shop urls now redirect to our Etsy shop where fresh new items can be found alongside our popular Ribbons ring. (Please [...]
