Love this place, they have SO much fun jewelry! You do have to sort through the junk, and the music they play is terrible; but aside from that you can find some really cute jewelry. If you’re like me and you want something to go with an outfit or just want trendy items that are budget friendly Sterling Silver Jewelry, this is your place. Most of the pieces are $7-12, and I get compliments when I wear them all the time. The value is good, the only reason I won’t give Glitterati 5 stars is because the pieces do tend to break easily. I’d put them in the same category as Forever 21. This place is worth checking out.
Buyer beware! I had a watch battery replaced here, $10 charge, great. After I left I noticed that a trim piece on one of the numerals on the face of the watch had become dislodged and was way out of place under the crystal. ?I went back to the store and nicely told them I thought this had happened as a result of the battery replacement. ?Their response, “It’s not our fault.” I wasn’t angry or abusive — I just wanted it fixed. ?They fixed it but charged another $10 to do so. ?Very bad customer service!!! I would never go back here.
THIS PLACE IS OVERRATED LADIES!!!The first time I saw Gliterati I thought it was a dream come true. ?But the more I’ve shopped there, the more I realize that it’s just SO NOT WORTH IT. ?Things are way overpriced & too sparkly for my taste. ?I can find better & cheaper jewelry at places like Forever 21 or H&M. ?I guess if you’re a UCLA student & don’t have a car, nor want to take the bus to the mall then I can understand why you would shop here. Otherwise, stay away my friends…stay far, far away.
This place needs to die! Put it out of it’s misery! ?I went in there because I have a special occasion to go to ,and I wanted some costume jewelry and GLOVES. ?Yes, gloves. ?You find GLOVES at an accessories store. ?All the jewelry is displayed on hooks and EVERYTHING is oxidizing/ tarnishing because if being out. (It should be in packages until someone wants to buy it, so it can be shiny still, and NOT BLACK)Why is everything $29.99? ?$39.99. $19.99. ?I mean everything.Went in and was in there for about 15 – 20 minutes. ?The guy that worked there was on the phone the entire time helping a customer with his watch (they do watch repair apparently, which seems to have taken over the place), and NEVER EVER acknowledged me. “Can I help you?” ?”I’ll be right with you” is all it takes.This place is a waste of space and needs to be removed from Westwood permanently.C R A P O L A!
I can’t help but rave about this place. ?Yea, it has some cheap baubles and beads…but there are also so many novelties in here that you cannot find anywhere else. ?I found the cutest daisy ring. ? It overwhelms my finger, but it’s so me, so I absolutely love it. ?It’s amazing!!
I SOOOOOOO know that everything they have here is imported from Hong Kong…for 1/3 of the price that they sell it for!
“Hey! ?YOU! ?Yeah, you, with the unadorned neck and wrists and fingers and ears and HELL YES your ankles and toes and belly Sterling Silver Bracelets, too! ?You need something sparkly and shiny and cheap and special, but with a touch of class, too? ?No? ?You don’t think I’m classy? ?MY NAME IS GLITTERATI, fools, that’s classy! ?What? ?Still no? ?Okay, I’m cheap. ?YAY!”That is Glitterati talking to any and all passerby. ?If you need cheap junk jewelery, stop on in, they’ve got it. ?I dare you to not find something suitable here. ?It’s like Claire’s for college kids. ?It’s a steal, and it’s really funny to peruse during lunch. ?You won’t break the bank, and you’ll look sparklyfresh.
Cool little jewelry shop that I definitely need to investigate further!I came in here mostly because I needed a watch battery replaced. ?They did it for $8 and change (tax and battery included) in under five minutes, with very pleasant service. ?While they were working on my watch, I wandered around the store awhile. ?It’s basically full of stuff you might find at F21, Claire’s, etc (cheap and flashy but still cute), with a few nicer items thrown in. ?I did see a table of sterling silver rings for about $20 each, as well as a display case with a small collection of gold items. ?Prices seemed to be a little high, but if you didn’t have a car and/or don’t feel like making the trek to the mall to buy possibly poisonous costume jewelry from your favorite mass retailer, this is definitely a good option. ?Also a great place to get your watch battery replaced!
The word “subtle” is not in Glitterati’s dictionary. Seriously, I have seen flares and road sings less eye-catching than some of this stuff. So of course I love it! It is, like all truly good jewelry, all fake. Rhinestones and CZ everywhere, and even more plastic on top of all that. For what it is, the price is okay, not fabulous, but — oooh, lookit! ?a pink and green cocktail ring bigger than most cell phones! ?Alternate purpose for Glitterati: drag your man there to test for True Wuv.
This place is next to UCLA.Lots of cute selections of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, toe rings, hair clips, etc. ?I see it as … a Costco for jewelry. ?Unfortunately, I am allergic to fake jewelry, so I am limited in my choices. ?Forunately, they have a small section of 14kt gold, and sterling silver jewelry in the back with really cute earrings and the like. ?I got a lot of cute things here. ?Worth checking out.[stars and comments are subject to change with each visit (^_^) ]
It’s an okay store. lots of selection but…a lot of the stuff just looks really cheap. the store recently changed though, so it looks a lot cleaner and organized so it’s easier to go through the stuff.the owner though is nice. i was a penny short and she let me buy a ring without having all the money there. good place to go if you don’t really want nice jewelry and accessories…just something quick maybe for a party or event, and happen to be in the area.
my gosh! how this place sparkles! I walked by this place on my way to Urban Outfitters on Westwood and spent all my money i was planning to use at Urban. The store has every accessory a girl could ever want without emptying your wallet Sterling Silver Bangles, if you have any self-control. Its like a crack store for college aged girls. BEWARE!!!!
Whether it be lightning earrings or a fake strand of pearls you will find it at Glitterati, every accessory you can think of is here!
Ditto with what Dorothy said. All this stuff is shipped over from Asia, it has been at least tripled in price here. I have only bought one thing from here out of desperation because I forgot to buy a hair accessory for a dance I was going to and I regretted it soo much. I couldn’t return a crappy gaudy hair clip that was soo heavy from the rhinestones and decorative metal that it couldn’t stay up in my hair, it just slid right out. I also see a lot of the stuff has rhinestones missing. The only thing this place has going for it is its location, its close to UCLA, so it helps with last minute accessorizing.
