I agree 100% about the price points. Their designs are amazing, but the only stones used are Swarovski crystals and, generally, their pieces are either silver or brass (not even gold!). BUT since I do love their stuff, I try to look out for sample sales (or events on flash sale sites) so I can get them at a more reasonable rate. And yes, Ms. Coles makes Nina seem all warm and fuzzy!
