ROZOREGALIA! My obsession... And an amazing find

I had spent 2 hours obsessively seeking a necklace I had seen on a picture in a store. I am one of those people, if I like it, I want it...and my goal was to attain it that night, and I was going to find it! I started sifting through stores I knew sold jewelry, clearly if I had never seen it before... it could not be at my regular haunts, I began to sift through SL's search for jewelry stores, then it dawned on me! XStreet would be sure to have something to point me in the right direction. Nothing, then I saw it..."Vinitas' by Yumi Pausch

Was there more? I began to look for the stores name to find a main store...I had found one outlet, and there was the necklace...but...there might be a fat-pack at the store... and why own one, when I could own all? I lucked out, the owner happened to be at the outlet in the mall and was kind enough to give me the LM to her main. Necklace, bracelet, earrings and anklets...I am in complete heaven!

AND! Major plus side, I found the perfect gift for my brother and his fiancee...Gothic to their very core, and wonderful people, they took me a picture for my blog to show of the beautiful pieces. Thank You both for being so amazing!
They are so cute! <3
The pieces they wear reflect their individual style, Vice wears the necklace set from the Nornir collection and unisex piercings, while Perhaps dons the choker, that compliment their bodies frame respectably. Two enchanting pieces, for equally inspiring people.

What can I say about their virtual jewelry? The detail of each piece is exquisite, paying close attention to the look and elemental aspects of the piece. I would gladly don them real life.
They take the concept of jewelry design to different heights and do not hesitate to push the boundaries of the acceptable norm we have in our mind about these accessories.
Rozoregalias scripts even allow you to change the colours of the gems within the jewelry, giving you many options for your daily outfits and allowing once more, for you to customize your look to better suit every aspect of your individual style.

I look forward to your future creations, as it is a store I find myself returning too very often in hopes of new releases.

"I've found the textures to be some of the most realistic available, with minor details such as wrinkles and shadows that give the fabric a wonderful 3d effect. Most of the jeans come with prim legs which by now, is almost required for sharp dressing in sl. Overall, a great shop with good selections and not bad prices." Very honest Nic, thank you for taking to time to share your thoughts about what you enjoy about this stores designs, enjoy your gift for your wonderful review.

I personally found Sartoria to have a very tame, but sophisticated take on casual male clothing. It maybe a bit predictable, but very well made and with great detail. I don't particularly see many men on SL wearing a plum feathered hat with horns and a few diamonds (Gah, the horrid thought that it may exist...lol), but a nice casual sweater, with wonderful textures and a nice pair of jeans, that allows for that sense of masculine individuality, most definitely.
Sartoria's formal male clothing as shown below was very well made, with a great eye for small details, that gave the ensemble just the right edge it needed. I find the suits merely accentuate the male form, without overpowering the models frame, it does not make the model look overly buffed and as I call them 'roid droids' (steroid user, for our laymen), there is something to be said for quiet demure, that serves to merely add to the individual, than overpower their being. Great work Sartoria, I must say I am impressed and so to are your loyal customers.
