The Amazing Brilliance Of Swarovski Earrings

By Sharron Cantu


One form of accessory that can function in many different ways and has so many available style options with endless variations to meet all manner of tastes is jewelery. This is something that many individuals will regularly purchase on their own, however it is also the top gift choice for romantic occasions, milestone commemorations or to show association between two or more people. Millions of design options include necklaces of plastic beads, golden chains, glass bangles, hemp chokers, priceless rings, Swarovski earrings and all things in between.

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 have jewelry made with these beautiful authentic gemstones is something many people long for. Unfortunately, the cost of such items is normally far beyond the financial scope of he average individual. Luckily, high quality and affordable replications are available.

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.

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.

Found only in a certain area in Austria along the river, these very special crystals are the source of the term, rhinestone. These unique lead filled rocks were the first materials used to create artificial gemstones of such amazing quality. The glass, plastic and paste versions of these products soon followed as manufacturers sought a way to make more cost effective representations.

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.

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.
