Sample Sale Report: Rachel Leigh

Stopped by the Rachel Leigh Sample Sale over lunch today and found it to be fairly busy with about 10 other shoppers perusing the bargains in a small, but organized room that was a combination of table displays and bins.The Central table display had everything on it for a mere $25! A true bargain when you consider how much many of these pieces actually retail for. Colorful rings, braided leather bracelets, pendant necklaces, interesting chain links and great rhinestone bib necklaces. I spotted the regal ball necklace that I bought a couple seasons back on this table at a significant savings of what I even bought it for! So if you had your eye on it, now is the time to jump on it.

One of the best deals and most plentiful item at this sample sale were these lovely chain, ribbon & rhinestone bangles at just $10 a pop. I spotted a couple women stocking up on the wide variety of colors as they would make great gift items. There were about 2 bins of variations on this style.

From the $40 table there were 2 bins of longer rhinestone necklaces that had a bit of a deco feel. I particularly like the braided chain and pearl option.

The sale topped out at $50 and this table included the more trendier newer pieces. I was loving those Neon Stone Necklaces that would be a super affordable alternative to those Tom Binns versions from a few years ago.

Some of the plentiful bangle/cuff options that range in colors and materials for $5-30.

If you are in need of some sparkle in your life or are looking for some holiday gifts, this sale definitely is worth checking out, especially if you are a bangle/cuff kinda gal.

Look for Less: Yves Saint Laurent Ovale Ring

If you were coveting Yves Saint Laurent Arty Ovale ring, but didn't get it because it was too pricey (or sold out), you might want to consider Rachel Leigh's gumball ring. Her ring comes in a wide variety of colors and costs only $68 compared to $200+ for the YSL ring.

You can check out Rachel Leigh's full collection and shop at rachelleigh.com. And if you're looking for a little discount, some of the colors are 25% off at zeeberry.com.

Sample Sale Report Dec 2009: Rachel Leigh

Stopped by the Rachel Leigh Sale today and found it to be well organized and easy to look at for most part. Staff was on hand to answer any questions and help as necessary. There were a couple of mirrors available to view your purchases as well. Everything is $60 and under. Multi-strand necklaces for $50, Oval Jewel & bead necklace $30, Jeweled Square Rings for $40, Square earrings $45, Bow rings $15, Hoop & Bead Earrings $20. Rose enamel necklaces are $25.

There were buckle cuffs & Plastic bobble rings $10 in bins below the tables

One of my fave pieces at the sample sale was this statement pave ring that was $60.

Cluster & wire rings for $60, Semi-Precious Cluster Bangles are $60

Snake skin & fabric covered rings were $30.

Assorted necklaces and earrings at the sale that only had a couple in each style were stored in these jewelry pouches on the rack, however the prices were not marked for this grouping and I had to ask for each piece. There was a wishbone pave necklace that I considered for $25.

Super cute bow enamel cuffs ranged in price from $5-20 depending on if they were damaged. While I was at the sale though I believe a woman came in and snapped up all the $5 bows though, probably as gifts for the holiday season.

Millie Cuffs that are slighty damaged are $10, Fabric covered cuffs are also $10.

My little indulgence at the sale although wasn't super cheap was this jeweled ball that looks like something King Henry would have worn :) Slightly royal, oversized and definitely fun.

Great sale for if you're looking for show stopper party pieces. The kind of jewelry that starts conversations. While not the lowest prices, at $60 and under, still within the realm of reasonable.
