The Heidi Jewelry Collection

Dabby Reid is proud to add our classic Heidi jewelry collection to our ever-growing line of stunning crystal jewelry sets online. The Heidi collection combines beautiful Swarovski crystals with delicate metalwork. Each piece is unique, but characteristic crystal cubes provide an artistic theme that ties the entire collection together.


Remarkable Swarovski Crystal Cube Jewelry

The Heidi collection’s cube cut crystals showcase the color of each stone with a larger surface area than you typically find in other cuts. The flat sides are like a window that allows the crystal’s color to shine through, while beveled corners give each bead a playful shimmer and shine that draws the eye without distracting from the piece in its entirety. Smaller faceted Swarovski crystals add more variety to the ensemble and allow the bracelet, necklace and earrings to sparkle and showcase the crystal’s true color in every imaginable angle.



Heidi drop earrings consist of a simple cubic crystal topped with a cluster of metallic beads and a smaller, more starkly angled crystal crown. Each bracelet is strung with crystals in alternating sizes and shapes along a gold or hematite plated strand. Heidi necklaces are the centerpieces of the collection, each with a similar strand of alternating crystal shapes contrasted against hematite or gold. A flower-shaped center brings the necklace together, and two cubic crystals form an artistic double dangle at the base. As with all of our collections, Heidi jewelry is available in variety of colors, jet black to shimmering Aurora Borealis crystal.

Spring Getaway Fashion

Any chance to escape to a new setting is a chance to try out a new you. We have already written about the opportunities that summer vacation brings, but the chance for a getaway can come with any season and spring vacation jewelry deserves a treatment of its own. Whether you are our visiting family or finally taking your well-earned vacation time to get out and enjoy the weather, spring jewelry can make a special retreat all the more special.


Four Spring Fashion Tips

  • Neutral colors are a safe bet any time of year, but spring is a special time for iridescent clear crystal jewelry. The cloudless skies are the perfect companion for transparent, faceted earrings and necklaces, especially if there are soft hints of blue and green. Short necklaces and earrings in Aurora Borealis crystal are the perfect way to draw attention to your bright springtime smile.
  • Cool blues, whether transparent or opaque, are a great way to celebrate spring’s gorgeous outdoor weather. Lighter blues are a special treat that can transition well into the spring and summer.

  • Warm pinks, yellows and greens make spring’s floral atmosphere part and parcel of your wardrobe. Enjoy one of the few times of the year where warm and cool colors are equally seasonal and go bold when layering your necklaces!

  • Metallic colors of all kinds complement spring’s sunshine and look great with light-colored blouses and hats. Whether you look better in silver or gold, this spring is an excellent opportunity to showcase your favorite metallic jewelry.
