Over the past decade, Blingo has become iconic in women’s golf. Tune in to the LPGA on any given week, and you’ll see players with the sparkly-yet-functional accessory clipped to their caps.

Blingo ballmarks are handmade with Swarovski Crystals by founder Charlotte Daughan (formerly Campbell), a four-time national player of the year at Rollins College, who created the product as a hobby, began selling the ballmarks to fund a budding professional golf career and has since cultivated Blingo into a small business.

The designs and color combinations are endless. Daughan uses rhinestones in roughly 50 different colors to create designs on a number of different bases, from traditional, white, black or silver to red glitter, blue glitter and emerald. She has an array of colorful designs for sale on her web site, but if you’re looking for a custom color combination or a specific design, just email your idea to Daughan and she’s happy to oblige.

Last year, Daughan introduced a neon line, which produces a stunning visual effect in the sun. They’re especially popular among LPGA players.

“I watch the LPGA tour and I just keep seeing this neon pink on white and it looks so good on TV,” Daughan said. “That’s been the most exciting product I’ve launched since doing this.”
