Swarovski

So many crystals…
Sparkly things. Everywhere.
It’s so easy to get distracted by this shop when you like pretty things. To be honest though, I don’t really see the point in a lot of what Swarovski sells, beyond the fact that it sparkles. The jewellery, yes. Sparkly jewellery is fine, and it has a purpose. But £150 for a crystal flower? Is that really necessary? Does anyone really need a ridiculously expensive crystal flower?
But it is Swarovski, and people will buy it just because it’s Swarovski. And I will want it because it sparkles and throws rainbows around the room for my cats to go mental chasing them.
I don’t need to tell you how great Swarovski is.
However, this shop does feel very much «display only». Like it’s okay for you to look in the window, but they’d rather you went home and ordered what you wanted online rather than actually going in the store and putting all their pretty displays at risk of destruction. In their defence, I probably do have a huge flashing sign with «klutz» written on above my head (and if I don’t, I need one) so they would be right not to want me too close to the expensive stuff. Still, stores that act like customers are the enemy really make me want to go in and start juggling crystal hedgehogs and cause all the unfriendly sales people to have nervous breakdowns.

Walking past this shop you will find it hard not to be drawn in like a magpie.
There are so many pretty little things so beautifully displayed in the shop.
I love it!
However… For me this shop is more of a look and stare sort of shop rather than a dig deep and buy something sort of shop! Admittedly everything in here is very nice but I for one cannot justify spending huge amounts of money on a crystal duck!
The jewellery is the only thing I would consider buying … if I were flush!
I found the sales woman working in here very pleseant to talk to but I could feel her eyes burning through the back of my neck when I left with making a purchase!
For a VERY special occasion like a prom or a wedding this shop could provide you with the perfect accessory but if it is just something sparkly you need for the weekend I would shop else where!
