Gorgeous Shiny Sponsor & Giveaway -401s

I am thrilled to announce my newest sponsor, the Newport, RI based sparkler, 401s. Get ready for some serious "gorgeous shiny things". Amanda Gallagher started her jewelery business a little over a year ago making earrings and headbands using Swarovski crystals, and has since expanded using their opaques and rhinestones.

Her pieces are simple and stunning and can easily transition from day to night. I have her turquoise opaque studs & bracelet. ( I am really loving the opaques, they have such a vintage quality and the whites remind me of milk glass). Check my bling...

"Hi! I put some mascara on for you!"

I'm SO impressed by the quality. The studs are a great size, 8mm, and I was blown away with the weight of my bracelet and the pretty details of the clasp.  And her packaging and presentation are beautiful.

These are perfect for gift giving or treating yourself to some pretty sparkle. Another great reason to purchase is to support her cause...

"I'd love to highlight is that all purchases ( bracelet, earrings, etc.) in crystal AB color are donated to cancer research. 100% of the money from those sales gets donated once a month to different organizations to help find a cure. My grandmother passed away less than a year ago from pancreatic cancer and it was the hardest thing I have been through. We were extremely close; she was a great support for me and my biggest fan. A few months before she passed away I was able to make her some big dangle earrings and a necklace out of over sized crystal AB beads (We had very different taste in jewelry, but I was determined to make her something that fit her personality). She loved them and I'm so glad she was able to wear it a few times before she passed. My mom also is a breast cancer survivor so the cause is really important to me."

Amanda will be generously giving away a set of studs and a bracelet to one lucky reader.
