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.

Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies are among the most desired natural gems in the world. Their sparkle, shine and brilliance are beyond compare and never dull with age or wear. They remain stunningly beautiful throughout the years and rarely lose their value. The biggest issue with jewelry made using these authentic precious and semi-precious stones is that they can be quite expensive for the average individual.

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 a considerably more affordable alternative to owning authentic gemstones. Though artificial imitators, they can be colored and shaped to very closely simulate the more attractive attributes of natural gems. They may be produced using different materials such as lead crystals, glass, acrylic plastics or gum pastes.

There is a broad spectrum of quality ratings with these pieces which is directly dependent on which type of material was used in their construction. On the lowest end are those which are made from synthetic substances like paste and plastic because there are no natural light refracting properties, making them dull in color. At the top of the chart are the ones cut from the Austrian rock crystals that are commonly found on the banks of the Rhine river.

These crystals, which appear only in a specific area of the Rhine River, are where rhinestones derived their name. The special rocks were the original material used to create the stones intended to imitate the precious gems. The artificial products soon followed in an effort to create mass amounts in a cost effective way.

Lead crystals produce a much higher degree of natural shine which very closely resembles that of precious gemstones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, amethysts, emeralds and others. The Austrian company has a very strict code of quality and produces only the finest luxury products by hand cutting each piece with careful precision. Always featuring between eight and fourteen facets, these stones generate an enhanced brilliance and have amazing reflective properties.

Individuals who wish to be covered in blinding glitz, or who just want a bit of the flash that comes from wearing gems worth thousands of dollars, often choose jewelry made with these high quality lead crystal rhinestones. With all the sparkle of natural precious gemstones but at a fraction of the cost, these products are generally considered to be well worth the investment. All manner of accessories may feature these incredible accents, creating a feel of true Hollywood glamor.
