off the charts sparkle factor

Toronto artist Lisa Ridout has just sent us a delicious shipment of new joolz that sparkle with Swarovski crystals and gleaming sterling silver. Known for her great sense of style and meticulous craftsmanship, Lisa takes handcrafted jewelry to its highest level. We just love her work and so do our customers.


This morning I worked to put her 14 new pieces into inventory, rearranged a few cases and opened the doors. Alice came in to work a few hours later and I encouraged her to wear one of Lisa's new pieces, the aqua Carlu pendant on an elegant sterling choker. It looked magnificent on Alice and she was just beaming.





In walked a new customer, accompanied by her daughter and two granddaughters. She said she was looking for something "pink." I showed her a number of pieces, including Lisa's Carlu pendant in pink. She then asked to try it with the choker Alice was wearing. The result was heaven and she took both pieces. Another perfect match. Alice had to look for another Lisa Ridout necklace to wear with the aqua pendant.


Lisa has also sent us the Carlu bracelet in aqua - a showstopper in its own right:




The sparkle factor is off the charts but not all of Lisa's pieces include crystals. Here is her charming Flower bracelet. We also have the matching pendant and earrings:


This is one talented lady. Each link is handmade by Lisa and then incorporated into outstanding designs. Come in and see them all for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
