Every month, we shine the spotlight on a true Sparkling fan
Behind every Sparkling piece of jewellery is a story. Some pieces are reminders of a special event, while others are everyday favourites that go with every outfit. It is precisely these stories that make our brand so special.
Every month, we highlight a Sparkling Icon: a loyal fan who shares her love for Sparkling, her favourite collections and the special memories behind her jewellery. This month, we meet Naomi, who has been a Sparkling fan from the very beginning.
"I've been a fan of Sparkling from the very beginning."
How long have you been wearing Sparkling jewellery, and how did you discover the brand?
"I've been a fan of the brand from the very beginning. I first came into contact with it because a former colleague of mine sold Sparkling in her shop. I've worked in the jewellery industry for more than twenty years now, so I've always been drawn to beautiful jewellery.
Not long afterwards, my then employer also started selling Sparkling. I loved that! From that moment on, my own collection grew naturally. What immediately appealed to me was that Sparkling was just a little different from other jewellery brands. The interchangeable gemstones and the ability to combine them endlessly made it very personal."
What was your very first Sparkling item, and why did you fall in love with it straight away?
"My very first Sparkling item was the silver beaded bracelet with a green interchangeable gemstone. I was immediately drawn to that beautiful green colour in particular. But what I perhaps liked even more was how easily you could change the beads and stones. This meant I could adapt the bracelet to my outfit or the occasion every time.
When Sparkling later introduced its new collection of earrings, bracelets and necklaces, my husband gave me a complete set in Green Aventurine for my birthday. That only made my love for the brand grow stronger. A gift like that naturally takes on an especially special meaning."
Which gemstone speaks to you the most, and what makes it so special to you?
"My absolute favourite is Labradorite. I love the beautiful glow of the stone. It is a colour you can wear with practically anything and one that never gets boring.
Cherry Quartz also has a very special meaning for me. The stone symbolises love and harmony, which I think is beautiful. But above all, it is the story behind it that makes this stone so special to me. My husband and daughter gave me a complete set with Cherry Quartz when I was in hospital recovering from a serious illness. Every time I wear this stone, I think back to all the love and support I received then. That has made it so much more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery."
Which Sparkling item do you wear most often, and why couldn't you live without it?
"Without a doubt, the bracelets. I now have them in many different colours and wear them practically every day. Depending on my outfit, I switch up the colours or combine several bracelets.
Another major advantage for me is the gold-plated beaded bracelets. Gold-plated jewellery normally changes colour quite quickly when I wear it, but Sparkling's pieces stay beautiful. That means I wear them with incredible pleasure."
If you could recommend one Sparkling item to someone who does not know the brand yet, which item would you choose and why?
"I would definitely choose the earrings. They may well be one of the most versatile items in the collection.
You can change the gemstones very easily, allowing you to create a different look every time. But they are also beautiful to wear without a stone. In fact, you get several styles in one pair of earrings. That makes them perfect as a first Sparkling item and ideal for anyone who loves variety."
Thank you for sharing your Sparkling story 💚
Every Sparkling fan experiences the brand in her own way. For some, it is all about combining colours, while for others, the most beautiful memory is hidden behind a special gemstone.
