Accessorize With Beautiful Swarovski Earrings

By Sharron Cantu


Jewelry is one type of accessory that can serve many purposes and has so many options and variations that it can satisfy the stylistic tastes of practically every individual. It is something that people often purchase for themselves but also enjoy receiving as gifts. Design options range from plastic beaded necklaces to beautiful gold chains, charming glass bangles to brilliant Swarovski earrings and braided hemp chokers to valuable platinum rings.

Rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds are among the world's most coveted natural gemstones. Each produces a shine, sparkle and brilliance that is everlasting and radiant. Even after many years, their value and beauty remain in tact. Practically everyone would love to own jewelry made with these stones though the cost is usually much to high for the average person's budget.

To own hair pieces, bracelets, necklaces, rings or other accessories featuring these authentic gems, is something a great many people desire. Unfortunately, this is something most can only experience on a very small scale as the cost associated with such pieces are far beyond the average means. This is why most individuals will choose the more affordable alternative of quality rhinestones, which can be just as beautiful.

Rhinestones are an alternative to authentic gemstones and are much more affordable and obtainable for the average person. Though artificial, they are colored, cut or molded to imitate the same attributes that make the precious stones so desirable. These pieces are made from such substances as gum paste, acrylic plastic, glass or lead crystals.

The quality of these products will vary greatly depending on which of the materials is used in its manufacturing. The lowest of these are those produced using gum paste or acrylic plastics as those are synthetic substances that have no natural reflective properties and are rather dull and matte in color. The best are the ones that are created in Austria from the rock crystals found along the Rhine River.

Such quality lead crystals are only located in a specific area along the Rhine river and are the origin of the modern rhinestone. Originally, these were the only viable material used to replicate precious jewel stones. Eventually, in order to make it easier to produce copies in large quantities at an affordable cost, glass, paste and plastic were used.

Lead crystals possess natural light refracting qualities that allow the manufacturer to create pieces that have a sparkle that is practically as brilliant as that produced by genuine rubies, diamonds, amethysts, sapphires, emeralds and other gemstones. This elite Austrian company has very high standards and put out only the best luxury products through implementing precision hand cutting methods. Every stone features at least eight, and as many as fourteen facets which heighten their brilliance.

An individual can experience a small taste of the world of glitz, or they may even become fully immersed in it through the wonder of lead crystal rhinestones. The stones may possess all the brilliance and beauty of authentic gemstones but are available at considerable discount, making them a worthwhile investment for most. Practically any accessory can be enhanced with these amazing accents.
