White flakes drifted and flickered and floated to find their way to the earth in the first real snow of the season. Each one uniquely shaped and sparkled, cut and cast to create something truly spectacular and uniquely sensational. Individually, quite amazing. Together, breathtaking. Much like these. Sisters. Twins. Exclusive. Distinctive. Matchless in their own […]
