Swarovski Competition Jewelry on eBay

[Me]

A pair of Aurora Borealis Swarovski wrist cuffs and a collar. Brand new, never worn, designed to not snag costuming. Good for all forms of dancing, and floats may easily be attached. Last year when I competed amateur at USA dance regionals they were great for blinging things up when my dress had to be plain.

PM me with any questions, or post here. Thanks!

Hi Me! Just a question on your jewelry, what is the material the actual band is made of? Is it fairly thick (have an interfacing)? Was wondering if your base is heavy lycra or I've also seen some type of light neoprene like material too.

[Me]

Hey there! Thank you for asking. :) I am sorry I did not reply sooner - I was out of town all weekend.

The base material is a sort of double-sided cloth. It isn't a lycra or neoprene. The part that the jewels adhere to is flat, almost plastic. The part that comes into contact with the skin is soft and fuzzy, and this is the part that velcro attaches to. This way you can adjust the bracelet slightly - More room for gloves, less room for bare wrists. The part of the cloth that is visible to the eye is flesh toned, but generally you cannot see it as it is the "inside" part of the cuff.

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Me! Have you ever produced "armlets" for latin dancers in a similar fashion? I would love to have something like the jewelry you make that could go with many of my latin outfits. But I perhaps should be a bit concerned that it doesn't have stretch for latin?

[Me]

I do make those! I call them "muscle bands." ;) I plan to offer them online soon. The reason I don't have any up yet is because I customize them for each dancer. (It seems wrist sizes are a lot more universal than bicep area sizes.) I know how those little arm bands can be annoying and slip around, or squeeze too tightly and make upper arms appear paunchy. Usually what I do is ask the dancer to provide a measurement of the part of the arm they wish for it go over, and I make the band to a size that fits snugly (but not constricting) and there is elasticity for when the muscles flex. Depending on what the dancer wants the band can be narrow (an inch) or more wide (two inches).

Thanks for asking. :cool:

I'll be awaiting your line of muscle bands, armlets or whatever you end up calling them!

I will be as well...I think I need more bling!

[Me]

Hey, thank you both for compliments and for the incentive to launch these online!

Look forward to a release date of April 21st! I'll make a board here when the bands are available. :)

Thanks Me!

You're welcome!

Thanks guys!

*checks cuffs on eBay* You know I am very surprised at how little traffic those things have gotten. The hits on the auction view counter are really low compared to what normally registers. In fact, my store listings on eCrater are getting more views! Weird.

[Me]

:o I just noticed these auctions are almost over and there are no bids. You can run in and grab these at the last minute and save a few bucks. :o The number of hits and "watchers" of the auction are rather low, so I bet you could snag them at the opening bid.

Thanks guys!

mmm....got up too late this morning and missed them!

[Me]

Hey guys! I will have pictures of those arm bands soon! Currently I am bogged down with watermarking all of my images. I have a copycat now (LOL) so I've got to make sure they at least have to make their own products and take their own pictures. I guess the good news is, imitation is the highest form of flattery? :cool:

[Me]

Pictures of the arm bands coming soon - I haven't forgotten! I had a television opportunity pop up that involved travel and a fair amount of time - Had to do it - Might pay off, might not, you just never know... but you can't say no because then you may never be asked again!
