Sample Sale Report: Fenton/Fallon July 2012

UPDATE: As per Fenton/Fallon's Twitter SALE CLOSED EARLY at 2PM today.

The Fenton/Fallon Sample Sale is one that I make sure that I never miss.  While much of the merchandise moved earlier during the day I went after work at 6:45pm to a much quieter showroom with only a few other shoppers in the spacious well lit space.

While you could snag lapel pins for as little as $10, most of the merchandise was priced starting at $40 plus.  Prices reached up to $120 for the Fenton merchandise and most pieces were individually labelled with price stickers.  If you happen to like a piece you have to act quickly because most merchandise at the sale is a one-off or available in small quantities (ie. 2-3 of any piece).  Since all merchandise is currently on the floor what you see here in these photos are a good indication what is left.
Please note I've removed some of the photos at the request of Fenton-Fallon.  I've left the descriptions so that you can get an indication of the pricing

Large Gemstone Cuffs $60-100.  Intricate Metal Cuffs $60.Dragon rings $40 for a single dragon, $50-70 for a double finger dragon ring. Dragon earrings $40. 

Black Necklace with dragons $80, Pearl Dangle Necklace $50, Neon Chain Necklace $40, Yellow Necklace $50, Blue Large Pearl Necklace $30. Multi Strand Necklace $90, Metal Gemstone Choker $80, Plain Metal Cuffs $30
Dragon earrings $80, Spike earrings $50, small cuffs $50, dragon cuff $80, dragon necklace $40, rhinestone necklace $40.  Other rings $40-70.  Metal choker $70, small earrings $50, metal cuffs $40.

If you are looking for bold statement jewelry that is sure to get noticed for a reasonable price, this is definitely the sale for you.  I happen to own a few pieces and so far none of them have tarnished or turned my skin green :)

Not sure if they are going to drop prices tomorrow, but shop early for best selection and it might be worth dropping by at the end of the day if you're looking to try to swoop in on a bargain.  During previous sample sales there were some serious mark-downs on the last day but no guarantees.

Sample Sale Report: Fenton/Fallon

When it comes to jewelry I am more than a little obsessed with Dana Lorenz's bold statement making pieces.  Both her Fenton and Fallon lines have a way of balancing the perfect amount of sparkle with industrial grit that looks just about perfect for any occasion.

I stopped by her sample sale today and was perfectly pleased to find an amazing selection of new glamtastic creations to hold my eye in wonder and all at pretty amazing prices.  Nothing tops $100 at this sample sale and you better move quickly because although the sample sale was a veritable calm bustle during my visit her pieces always move FAST.

While prices start at $10 for chunky multi chain plastic necklaces and $20 for tortoise bracelets but my heart doesn't really start to pound until you get into at least the $30 category where statement rings beg to live on my fingers.  The $50 category will take you into some eye popping cocktail rings while the $60 category yields some fantastic chain dripping cuffs. $70 will take you into a fantastic assortment of chain heavy necklaces.  If you are willing to drop $90-100 you won't be sorry because those glorious Fenton necklaces can be yours for the keeping.
