Review Videos
For the best viewing Please let the video load all the way
Here are some great items:
This statement cuff bracelet of this set consists of 15 total pieces of cobalt blue, seafoam and white North Shore sea glass, swavorski crystals, deep blue freshwater potato pearls, and peridot freshwater pearls. The focal point for the bracelet is a Hill Tribe Sterling Silver Starfish - purchased directly from the tribe located in Thailand. The bracelet is a cluster design with all elements affixed by handcutting and turning sterling wire.
That is exactly what these are - beautiful frosted seafoam sea glass that hang from 1 inch diameter sterling hoops adorned with sterling ball beads.
The title says it all! A bit vitage retro - rare lime green, aqua and cobalt blue sea glass that was found on the beaches of Salem, MA - drilled and hung on a pair of funky sterling silver threader earrings.

I'd love a review of my shop! Thanks so much!
Wow! The video review is a great idea!
I really liked the write up below as well!!!
What a great shop. Full of variety and great colors. That is some wonderful jewelry.
I just spent the last 5 minutes clicking through the shop.
I really like the wine charm set - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8727772

You're more than welcome to review my shop:

great review - you examine all the key elements.
And I LOVE that shop - the sea glass earrings are awesome.
My review would add a different element - what about all the competition that is making the exact same item as me - Scrabble tile pendants - check out all the shops - how can I make mine stand out??
:0)
Video is far better way to present a view than just verbal description. Although the shop you are writing about is there to see, seeing while listening to what you have to say is all together much better experience.
Thanks a lot for doing this.

What an awesome shop! Once again a great critique and review, Tim. I like your new idea - video. I bet that is fun.
Well, thanks again for some great tips!

I love the idea of a video review. The pairing of the comments with the visuals, and not having to read chunks of text is a refreshing approach.
One useful thing I picked up was to have my shop name in the tag. never thought that was important.
I have seen Seaglass Things earlier and thought they have beautiful creations. The color and texture of sea glass fascinates me.

Cheers!
Like the Video. It was fun to follow along.
Sea Glass if a very focused shop which gives it a very professional look.
Really pretty work too!
I love Seaglassthings shop. The items are spectacular and your critique was fabulous. Its great to get reassurance about what we are doing out here from someone who knows.
I really liked the video review, a nice change!
SeaGlassThings, LOVELY shop. I really like that you have a large range of items, something for everyone, not just those who wear jelelry! Your photos are very nice as well, and they all follow the same color and theme, which gives your shop a really nice cohesiveness.
Great job!
That was a great shop and a wonderfully original way to review the shop. Sometimes a review gets stale and boring but the video helped keep me engaged (no small feat for my ADD afflicted brain!). My only "critique" (ha-ha) is that the shop is lovely and focused already. You had to really stretch for areas that needed improvement! I have to go back and check out your past reviews, see how you handle a "problem" shop like mine! lol
Great job, I enjoyed it. Willing to let you take a stab at mine, but I warn you, I have some focus issues, and I ramble in my listings, and I use...gasp!...patterned backgrounds in my photos! Except some new one, dont know which I like. Argg!

I took the liberty of creating a complimentary avatar for sea Glass Things. The new one has her full shop name and is clear to read but in the same colors as her shop banner.
I used one of her pictures with a star fish in the background and a sea glass pendant on top which I feel is more complementary to her beautiful work. The color of the sea glass is darker in this pic and therefore more eye catching.

What an effective way to do a review and such a nice shop to do it on! My favorite thing about the Sea Glass Things shop is how the color and feel is unified. It makes you WANT to hold their sea glass pieces up to the light and check them out. I love shops that actually make me feel like I'm out browsing around. I know alot of details go into coming across that way to buyers and I would love to capture buyers' imagination for a minute myself.
I like the video review format, too. It's helpful because it happens at about the same order and pace that one visits an etsy shop. All of the key elements are right there, popping out at you.
I'd love to see my etsy shop reviewed by you, primarily to get objective, experienced ideas on how to best generate and maximize customer interest, but also for the details that add up to a shopping experience for my viewers like the one I described above. I find that my greeting cards and prints, being finely detailed imaginative drawings, are surprisingly a challenge to present in a way that helps a person visualize having the actual object. I know from feedback in brick and mortar sales that there is a certain delight in the crispness, color palette and charm beheld in my items and I wish to make that palpable in my etsy shop. I am similarly interested in ideas that might help my items to get chosen for or look really good curated in a treasury.
I've been inspired and motivated to begin using your ideas that I've looked back on and read so far. Please accept my invitation to come into my shop, look around and tell me what you think!
Thank you,
Jade

This is another great review. Pictures chosen were representative of the shop (and I love sea glass, BTW, definitely will check this shop out). The video review was a good partner with the written. Interesting to see how you go through the different sections of the shop.
Wow! A video and everything! Seaglassworks has some really neat items...very pretty!
great review, you wlcome to check out my shop, I've love a review!
lol, looks like I should've used spell check before posting-sorry!
Great video review! It looks awesome! What a beautiful shop that you choose. I love all of the sea glass. Good points about using all 5 spaces for photos and all 14 tags. I am trying to do better about both of those things. I really like you idea about putting your shop name as a tag. I will have to do that.
I would love a review of my shop.
Thanks! Denise
The video critique was awesome! Your whole concept is brilliant. And all of the items in her shop just make me think of the beach.
I am way impressed!Sherry
