Frequently Asked Questions

We are a small, family owned company in Arizona, USA. We started as you, just someone interested in a new hobby and our world was changed with our first diamond art kit. It was so fun and relaxing, and soon became a daily hobby. As my wife says, it became her "Sparkly Meditation Time". During our search for new kit options, we tried several different websites and soon realized all diamond art kits are not created equal! We experienced poor quality glue, crummy plastic diamonds, lousy pictures that when completed became unrecognizable, or all of the above in some cases!! It was really disheartening for us. Many of our "pieces of art" went straight to the garbage. The last straw was when a kit was purchased and it took over 3 months to arrive. We decided there has to be a better way! We tested about a dozen manufacturers and were not satisfied only one. With our supplier, the glue keeps the diamonds in place, the pictures turn out clear and beautiful, and the acrylic diamonds as well as the tool kit were just what we wanted. We have hung several of our kits on the wall and none of them have lost their diamonds or their sparkle. We also decided to warehouse the kits right here in the USA so your kits will never take long to arrive at their destinations. We are excited to share our beloved hobby, and Sparkly Meditation Time with the world.

This is something that hits close to home as we learned the hard way that just because a manufacturer tells you they own the rights to an image, doesn't make it so. After finding out just how rampant art theft is within the industry, we took a step back from growing as big as we could and started fresh. This meant putting many pieces of merchandise on hold while we worked to locate the artist and develop licenses for use; or pulling thousands of kits from our inventory altogether, never to see a customer in their life...RIP kits! A moment of silence please ;). Even though we are a small family-owned business, and this cost us greatly, our integrity meant more than the bottom line. We now have limited editions where we are allowed to sell what we have with the promise to produce no more kits with those specific images; AND we also have MANY items which are licensed for production under the Sparkly Selections name! We work with photographers, artists, and their management teams, to ensure that all parties are seeing the fruits of their labors. We are grateful to work with a manufacturer who honors our requests to keep our licenses exclusive to Sparkly Selections, honoring the artists and photographers in the process as well.
