Announcement: City Buddha Corner at Sparkle Jewelry

Online, January 4, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Sparkle Jewelry announces the launch of the City Buddha Corner in its Westlake, Ohio location.
In September, VANITYLAB launched Sparkle Jewelry in its space as a portal to connect local artists and shoppers. City Buddha's passion for the authentic market is met by Sparkle's mission to offer a convenient, affordable choice over big box stores and mass produced wares. In addition to helping strengthen the Cleveland economy, Sparkle simultaneously supports the Gathering Place, a local, non-profit organization. City Buddha has long had a reputation for a wide selection of unique jewelry and handmade artisan wares inspired by ancient spiritual teachings. The City Buddha Corner will feature all the ambience of their home-base location including their signage, signature display items, jewelry and accessories ranging from $2.50-$50 with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Gathering Place. These wares will now be available alongside the largest collection of local jewelry in the greater Cleveland area.

About Sparkle Jewelry: Sparkle Jewelry was launched in September 2010 at the VANITYLAB Salon.Spa.Shop in Westlake Ohio. With over 50 jewelers' wares housed at Sparkle makes it the largest collection of local jewelry in the greater Cleveland area.
Each artist featured at Sparkle is invited to participate in our charity match program. A portion of proceeds is matched by Sparkle and donated to the local non-profit, the Gathering Place. Items are packaged in unique, branded options to include a signature reusable bag, Chinese take-out gift box or vintage-inspired recycled/recyclable boxes to stay in line with VANITYLAB's sustainability beliefs.
