Links of London Effervescence Bubble Stiletto Earrings


Update 10/13: I see the Effervescence Bubble Stiletto earrings can also be purchased at Bloomingdales here.



I'd admired these in pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge for awhile but I like them even more in real life.  My Effervescence Bubble Stiletto earrings from Links of London arrived last week, boxed and tied with ribbon, packaged nicely in a little bag with tissue.  I ordered in US dollars on the US version of the site, but I did get charged a small foreign transaction fee by my credit card.  (Mine is 1% but it varies.)  I can't remember what the return address was on the box but I think it was a US address.  Similar to Zara with the fee deal I think.

To me they seem very delicate, feminine, and nicely made.  The iolite is a lovely lavender and I think they can go dressy for evening or more casual for day.  They will be going toward the casual end with me quite a bit as I want to wear these often.

Here are some more snaps:






They are very swingy so a little difficult to not photograph blurry when on.  There is a lovely bracelet in the Effervescence collection also...

I went through ebates when I ordered these (5% cash back, nice) but after about a week noticed the rebate had not been credited (it's usually 3 days or so).  I contacted the company on a little form on their website and in less than ten minutes received a response letting me know it can take up to 30 days to credit, depending on the store, but they manually credited my account the 5% so I wouldn't have to wait.  Impressed, ebates, thank you.  If you don't already use them, I can refer you over on my sidebar.


Happy Wednesday!

  3. Mine arrived yesterday and I opened my pretty package with a LOT of anticipation. To be honest they were smaller than I had imagined; for some reason I assumed they would be quite long- at lest chin length so in comparison to my imagination, seemed quite teeny. However once tried on I liked them a lot: delicate but not insubstantial, swingy, feminine and a bit sexy. Will be wearing them as often as possible since they will work well for either daytime or evening wear. I also own the 'sweetie' bracelet in sterling silver and it's very pretty and well made. I am slowly adding charms to it; I don't want it to be too weighty so no more than 3 charms I think. As you can tell I am fairly new to the brand so will not be buying more for a few months till I assess the overall quality and value of what I have purchased to date. But so far, I like my Links experience.
    Oh and it's recommended their bracelets (the stretchy ones) are re-strung every 18 months and they will clean and spruce them up for you for free (plus the small fee for re-stringing)Cannot fault service like that.:)
