1st annual Mother's Day contest has ended!

Congratulations to Michelle Francoeur for winning the 1st annual Sparklies by Julie Mother's Day Giveaway contest!  I had several wonderful entries and I would have loved to award them all but the voters have spoken.  :)  Many thanks to all who entered and to all who voted.  I will be contacting Michelle to make arrangements to send the custom, hand-stamped 'MOM' necklace to her.  Once again, thanks to my fans for all their support, I truly do appreciate you.

Remember, Mother's Day is on May 8th this year.  Have you already gotten her the perfect gift?    

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!  Don't forget to visit my facebook page: www.facebook.com/sparkliesbyjulie and my store: http://www.sparkliesbyjulie.com/.

All the new sparklies...

Since I posted the Mother's Day contest on facebook.com, I have been remiss in posting pictures of all the new sparklies I've made in the meantime.  It's only cause I don't want to push the contest post too far down the line to where no one can find it if they want to enter.  So I will post the a sneak peek of just some of the newest pieces here!  If you click on the name of the piece and it doesn't take you to one of my shops, it's because I haven't listed it yet.  Check back soon and find out where it is available!

Vintage Bride • Swarovski crystal AB drops, white pearls and sterling silver beads.  Perfect for that bride who's looking for a touch of old-world elegance.

Marble Sky • Gray marble-pattern rounds interspersed with brilliant blue AB roundelles that sparkle with a little gold; on memory wire. OOAK.

MidNite Blu • Brilliant blue AB roundelles interspersed with shiny metallic hematite glass beads; on memory wire.  Comes with matching earrings on handformed sterling silver hooks. OOAK.

Persephone in Spring • sterling silver wire formed into waves while a Swarovski peridot briolette hangs from the bottom and glows on the sterling silver french hook.
