Accessorize With A Handmade Swarovski Necklace

By Patty Goff


Using accessories as tools, a person can create different looks to fit a number of situations, occasions and needs from the same outfit. The garment can appear appropriate for performing tasks like going to work or shopping, or for special times like a nice dinner or going out for a fun night with friends simply by changing the size, material, design or color of an accessory. A bit of sparkle can be gained by wearing a handmade Swarovski necklace or similar piece.

A rhinestone is generally defined as an artificial gem that is made from paste, plastic or glass and features multiple facets. They can be colored and cut in a nearly endless combination of shapes and styles to resemble actual gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, rubies and more. These stones are used for a variety of purposes including decorations, embellishment, jewelery designs and much more.

They have a number of various of advantages over the real stones they are made to replace. The biggest of these benefits is that they make it possible to get as much flash and sparkle as one wishes without the expense of purchasing the genuine articles. When opting for rhinestones, the cost will vary greatly depending on the material that is used to make the product desired.

Swarovskis are considered to be the top of the line as far as rhinestones are concerned. Unlike the others, this company only utilizes the best quality lead crystal rock to create their stones instead of the typical paste, plastic and glass. Their production guidelines are very strict and their standards are so high that the products are so finely sculpted that they are often mistaken for the real thing.

The Austrian company takes great pride in hand cutting each stone from the finest quality lead crystal available. Every one of the eight to fourteen facets on a single gem are cut with extreme precision with specific methods to bring out the utmost brilliance and refractive properties. Their durability is phenomenal and this brand has a reputation as the apex of all rhinestones.

As with most things, higher quality usually results in a bit more cost. Though they are still very affordable in comparison to real gemstones, the crystals are definitely more expensive than rhinestones of other materials. Considering that they have a sparkle, shine and clarity nearly identical to that of genuine precious stones, most people feel they are worth the added expense.

There are so many finishes, colors, types, sizes and shapes available in rhinestones varieties. Common uses for them include craft projects, beading, decorating, and embellishing just to name a few. Whether one's taste in accessories is extremely simple, or if something more flamboyant and elaborate is preferred, the range of options makes it easy to find a favorable piece.

Hand crafted pieces of jewelry add a touch of uniqueness to any outfit and can serve as great accent points. Wearing a single item, or pairing it with others of complementary design, will have a major influence on the completed look and feel of the total ensemble. There are so many options in style available that regardless of personal preferences, everyone will be able to find something that appeals to their desires.
