*SAMPLE SALE* Open Laine

Is your outfit just simply plain jane? How about adding a splash of shimmering sparkles to update and elevate your look? If this all sounds interesting then Thomas Laine HQ is where you want to be. The Manhattan-based luxury jewelry retailer started their 2-day 3-day only sample sale today and I dropped by briefly this afternoon to check out their offerings. If jewels are your thing, step right up to the open Laine.

From bridal pearls to show-stopping crystal necklaces to precious gemstones, whatever your taste may be, the showroom at Thomas Laine's corporate office had it in stock. Gleaming with designer jewels from labels like Ben Amun, Kenneth Jay Lane, Elizabeth & James, Erikson Beamon, Susanne Kalan, and Kara Ross, the sale featured a generous inventory of shimmering and sparkling goodies. Markdowns were 60~80% off retail and some standout pieces included Erikson Beamon's Bette Davis Eyes Earrings for $99 (originally $355), Kara Ross' Maze drop earrings for $200 (originally $990), Elizabeth & James' star pendant necklace for $56 (originally $124), and Erikson Beamon's Mood for Love earrings for $170 (originally $170).

If you're a fan of Suzanne Kalan's intricate designs, there was a wide range of stunning necklaces and earrings to choose from. Prices were slightly higher compared to the other designer brands with items ranging from $180 to $600. Everything was displayed inside a glitzy glass vitrine and I found my irresistibly gazing upon the shiny gems.

As a final but very important note, the sale offered sample bins for the inner bargainista in you. Inside the $5, $10, $15, and $20 plastic bins (6th through 9th photo below), I spotted pearl stud earrings, pearl drop earrings, bracelets, and cuff links. If this report has piqued your interest, you should know that tomorrow is the last day you have two days to shop the sale.
