Nafri aka Nanci says:What great designs! Love these lucite flowers. They go perfectly with the Vingaj elements. Wish they weren’t so pricey. By the time you put all the pieces together it’s hard to make any profit. Most people don’t want to pay that much for jewelry with plastic in it, even when they are this beautiful.

Mimmie says:I have always been “into” sewing and embroidering until I saw these earrings!! They are absolutely gorgeous!! I will make these whether I know how to make earrings or not!!

Susanne C says:The flowers are truly stunning… I have been studying this design for weeks now and have not seen anything so unique. They are terribly pricey for a small business crafter like myself. My profit margin would be little to none to sell at a competitive price. I have looked at literally hundreds of designs on Etsy and Pinterest. I think it would have to be a special purchase for a loved one. I look forward to seeing this line expanded and evolve with Lima.

D Maskell says:I am crazy in love with Lucite. But I have not found any articles anywhere telling us how to “paint” the wonderful marbled look to make them appear vintage. Any thoughts?
