Sunglasses with Sparkle

Last week we posted earrings with crystals and sandals embellished with crystals.  (Scroll down to see these blog posts.)  But did you know you can get sunglasses with crystals?  Swarovski crystals on these very cool shades add some sparkle that catches the light in the most dazzling way.

Go from subtle to glam.  Large tortoise graduated shades have a touch of crystals on the temple:

Or go for high drama with these white sunglasses whose wide temples are loaded with crystals:

Buzz-worthy bracelet

Buzz on over to Ann’s today for some charm shopping therapy!

 

Today our buzz-worthy jewelry is a rather spectacular bracelet made of jewels and sterling silver in charms that slide onto a triple strand of sterling silver.  (Did you see it featured in the Memorial section of today’s Houston Chronicle?)

Let’s take a closer look.

Slide charms have openings on the side where the triple strand sterling silver bracelet slips through.   The empty bracelet looks like this:

Triple strand, sterling silver bracelet, adjustable in size. Bracelet alone is $98.
Charms slide over the “bar” end of the bracelet in any order you wish.  Some of the charms from our bracelet today look like this:
 

Faceted Calypso quartz slide charm set in sterling silver, $88 Sparkly Blue Drusy quartz in sterling silver, $78 charm.

 
 

Blue Drusy quartz in sterling silver, $78 charm.

 
 
 

Blue howlite, blue sapphire drusy, blue spinel, and white quartz in sterling silver, $115

 
You’ll want a couple of sterling silver clips to keep your charms from slipping around your wrist when you wear the bracelet:

When you put all these together, you have a bracelet that dazzles!
