The Daily Drop: Witchblade Bling Steals the Show: Proposal Overshadows Sara Pezzini’s Vegas Jewelry Store Opening

LAS VEGAS, NV – Sara Pezzini, the Witchblade-wielding ex-cop turned jeweler, hoped to make headlines with the grand opening of her “Pezzi’s Blade & Bauble Boutique” at the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace. Instead, the spotlight was hijacked by a lovesick romantic who turned her high-end jewelry launch into a viral engagement spectacle on Saturday night.

The boutique, stocked with mystical gems and weaponized accessories, drew a buzzing crowd of Vegas glitterati, comic nerds, and one guy in a trench coat muttering about “the Darkness.” Pezzini’s centerpiece display—a rack of glowing, Witchblade-crafted rings—promised to redefine luxury with a supernatural edge. But just as she sliced a ceremonial sapphire with her gauntlet, all eyes swiveled to Mark Hensley, a 32-year-old accountant from Boise, dropping to one knee in the store’s foyer.

Hensley didn’t offer a ring. Instead, he presented his fiancée, Emily Tran, with the *Swarovski Crystals Witchblade #3 (2024) NYCC Foil Variant—Signed by Jamie Tyndall*, (Now available only at VegasComics.com) a one-of-a-kind comic book encrusted with glittering crystals. “She’s my hero, and this is her origin story,” Hensley gushed, handing over the pristine collectible as Tran teared up and the crowd erupted. The comic, valued at over $1,100 by expert conventioneers, shimmered under the Forum’s chandeliers, outshining Pezzini’s cursed baubles.

Pezzini, visibly annoyed, tried to reclaim the moment. “Great, now the Witchblade’s a prop for your rom-com,” she deadpanned, though she later admitted the comic’s crystals “vibed” with her inventory. Store manager Kenneth Irons, ever the opportunist, offered Hensley a 10% discount on a dagger-pendant “for the happy couple.” Meanwhile, Tony Stark, sipping champagne in the back, quipped, “I’d have gone with a reactor core, but sure, a comic works.”

By Sunday, #WitchbladeProposal was trending, leaving Pezzini’s launch a footnote. “Next time, I’m locking the door,” she muttered, polishing a hexed tiara. Vegas, as always, thrives on chaos—and now, love stories with a crystalline twist.
