Jewels A Saloon Girl Would Kill For ::

Just created a new design last night that was inspired by Vivienne Vermuth.  It's a cross between Victorian choker and saloon girl choker.  The colors are made up of light sky blue swarovski crystal beads, purple swarovski crystal beads, pale sea green  formed glass beads, blue glass beads with a deep violet opalescent glaze, larger faceted plum purple glass beads and very large light purple/blueish shaped art glass beads.  I also made a matching pair of earrings to complete the set.  Pictures soon ... promise.

Because Sparklies Can Cure The Blues ::

No matter what kind of day you've had... it always brings a sparkle to your day.  It's absolutely amazing just how much a bauble can brighten your day.  You could be having the worst day imaginable and then the sunlight will sparkle just so off of the swarovsky crystals in your earrings ... and suddenly that little glimmer and shimmer of sunshine has managed to melt away everything that broke down your happiness.



It may seem small and silly but a sparkle really can lighten both your day and your mood.  I know in this wild and crazy world, the stress will wear you down.  Constantly working, rushing and trying to do what three people couldn't do in one day.  You're only human.  Women should allow themselves moments of pampering.  It gets hard to do this when you're busy taking care of your family, home and work.  That's what is so great about our jewelry.

You can not only treat yourself to a luxurious treat but also not feel guilty about it.   I make sure to have a wide range of prices and styles so that everyone can find a "sparklie" that fits them.  You shouldn't have to decide between paying your bills and getting yourself something, especially in this economy.  That is a great reason why jewelry can be a wonderful way to pamper yourself! 



So if you haven't had a chance to peruse our jewelry in person then please feel free to take a moment or two to window shop at our online store.  Not only are the already created designs affordably priced but custom creations are as well.  You truly can have your hearts desire at an affordable price.

Stop by and peruse... we have something for everyone.

If you're interested in commissioning a custom item or two, then by all means please feel free to send us an email.  Our email is onestardesigns@gmail.com ... You're only a few moments away from that sun kissed sparkle that'll melt away your bad day blues.

One Star Designs :: Vending At Dallas Burlesque Festival

Dallas Burlesque Festival

The event was an absolute dream.  It was a night filled with gorgeous outfits, beautiful people and sparklies... of course.  This year it was held at the House of Blues Dallas location.  Since the past two years it was a sell out event, the organizers wanted to find a larger venue allowing more ticket sales.  Last night was a SOLD OUT event.  Around 1500 to 2000 people were enjoying the show.  That's an awful lot of people.

The organizers were an absolute dream to work with.  House of blues was such a beautiful venue to work.  The location itself is made up of multiple levels.  We chose to vend near the entrance on the upper level.  Because of this location choice, we not only had the attention of everyone that was entering to see the Burlesque festival but also regular restaurant patrons as well.  Which in turn, allowed us to triple our sales for the evening. 

The entire night was not only a blast to experience but a dream to vend.  We will most definitely be vending there next year if given the opportunity.
