WELCOME
KNOTS AND SPARKLEZ SPECIALIZES IN MICRO MACRAME JEWELRY.
Hi, my name is Vicky I started to macrame a few years ago for fun and it became addictive. I love spending time with my multitude of cords ans sparkly beads and crystals, the primary materials for my jewelry. When I first started I knew only the basics, I'm now able to design my own pieces and you can see some of them here on my site.
My items are NEVER mass produced! They are all HANDMADE, they are unique and due to the nature of my technique, which is time consuming, I never produce too many of one kind.
Even handmade products can be mass produced as some items are "quickly" hand-assembled only, with ready made components, thus allowing higher number of pieces to be finished in short amounts of time, it is not so with micro macrame, this type of work takes many hours.
When I come up with a NEW IDEA or DESIGN I usually sell what is available and allow for some requests, then move on to the next project. So at any given time, there are never many multiples of any item. Sometimes there is just ONE. That makes my items unique, perfect gifts for those who do not want to just BLEND IN but wanto to express their personality to the fullest, dare to be unique and stand out. :-)
Customization- Personalization
Once a certain design is completed I usually get requests for that design in various sizes, colors, or with light modifications, which make the piece unique and personalized to one's taste.
CUSTOM REQUESTS are always welcome and I try to accommodate as much as possible.
Customization include:
specific size, closure type, colors, charm choice, bead choice and more.
I have had also requests for reproductions of items or reuse of particular beads from previous pieces owned by the customer, etc.
FEEL FREE TO INQUIRE - THERE IS NO OBLIGATION.
I hope you like what you see.
For comments or questions please visit the "Contact Us" page, or just send me an e-mail.
Thank you for visiting. :-)

WHY HANDMADE?
Why Buy Handmade?
Because it is the work of an Artisan, his/her feelings, thoughts, ideas, emotions, so much goes into artisanal work.
You see the finished piece, but this piece was born out of an idea sparked by a color, a shape, a thought, it slowly took form, many times it goes through a long transformation process as the artisan encounters road blocks and has to recreate his/her path to the finished product. Sometimes that product differs vastly from the artisan original idea, but in the end it is with pride and joy that said piece is offered to you, no matter what your taste or feelings about it, it is that artisan’s greatest form of expression.
When you buy truly hand made products you buy unique pieces of art, sometimes even exclusive, something that only YOU have. I have many pieces that were made only once, and none of my jewelry is mass produced. My store remains small and I never duplicate any item more than a few times, so they will always remain unique.
They are carefully hand made from beginning to end, with high quality materials, and techniques that I have perfected with hours of practice over the years. My knots are steady and uniform, my pieces are made to last. They are light weight, soft, colorful and can be both elegant, and casual.
So enjoy a piece of Art made by Hand ♥
