Did you ever go into a store and love a necklace...Then you buy it and the damn thing lights up a ROOM....Gawd I hate that...And then you can't turn it off...EVEN WORSE....
I love elegance like most girls...I will say Dahlinks has more realistic looks in jewelry that I have seen in a long time...Mind you we all don't wear non-flashy clothes but I hate the bling that is blinding. Dahlinks may not blind you but it catches your eye...Details are so important in this graphic life and believe me I love the peices..
And not to mention the *Spoiled Kitty Line* OMG A NEKO'S DREAM YAY

Absolutely Fabulous Dahlinks
Well, it looks like I have a new direction in my second life... Amazing what happens when friends bully you enough. Over the last year I have tried my hand at a number of things that might possible ear a linden or two to support my shopping habit - hostessing, modelling, building houses and furniture and basically I found it all a little boring after the first day or so... Furniture caught my interest for a while... then sculpties came out and after one look at Maya... I decided that inworld brand promotion was probably an easier step ! lol... I may yet go back to Maya!
After 6 months of slinging boxes, writing classifieds, smiling at models, helping customers and laughing at over caffinated and sleep deprived designers, I was finally convinced to throw my hat into the ring and try to produce something worth selling...
That was 2 weeks ago...
On the 31st of Jan... I made my first sale... I was sooo excited. Of course have a position at the new Style Starts Here sim didn't hurt. And what was I selling you may ask... or not as you feel so inclined... jewelery. One of my RL and SL passions. That first day, and the following when the sim went public, were enough to spark my creative juices and get me all motivated about producing more and promoting my designs across the grid.
Dahlinks, named in honour of ZaZa the biggest jewelery maven the world has ever seen, is my new baby. The initial release concentrates a lot on classic pearls and casual contemporary pieces. I am really looking at making jewelery that I want to wear... and hoping that others might like it too.
All my textures are hand drawn and are a work in progress that I doubt I will ever be happy with. All the designs are full prim and hand set. I have a beef about necklaces that hang around your neck like hula hoops...
I am currently concentrating on link and bead work or natural semi-precious stones with a cabochon cut. There are a lot of designers making good quality sparkly gems cut sets in SL. I am trying to do the 'other stuff'. Fortunately, this works in well with the new casual lines at Style Starts Here (SSH). Welll, apart from the pearls that is... and they are just a life long passion.
You can see the whole small range at my onrez site as well... http://shop.onrez.com/Alexandra_Nichols
Must get back to lining up tiny tiny prims...
Have fun
