Handmade Swarovski Earrings Sparkle And Shine

By Dominique Martin


The perfect way to spruce up an outfit, express one's opinion, lend support to a cause, show personality, set a mood or particular style is to wear jewelery. By choosing pieces of varied shapes, sizes and materials, the amount of different impressions and looks that may had is virtually endless. Anything from handmade Swarovski earrings to wood beaded bangles or fine gold chains and all things in between is available.

Getting a completed look with any outfit is done through accessorizing. Simple touches like adding a complementary belt, scarf, hair piece, hat, gloves or even a pair of shoes, can give the ensemble the boost it needs to be perfect. With all the available options, for many the ultimate accessory for any look is jewelery that sets the mood.

A variety of jewelery styles allows individuals to decorate almost any place on their body, especially the neck, ears, fingers, wrists, toes and ankles. There are also more specialized items made for the belly, lips, eyebrows and most anywhere a custom piercing may be done. Picking the right design style is key to getting the right affect no matter where a person wishes to wear their pieces.

Jewelery can be created from a variety of materials but one product is used frequently because of the big impact it makes. Made from crystals, glass, paste or plastic, rhinestones are artificial recreations of diamonds and other precious gems. They provide an affordable option for adding some color, sparkle and shine to a piece.

With each of the varied construction materials, to get the desired hue to each gem, color is added to the mix during manufacturing. Once it is decided how the piece should look, the stone must be shaped. Paste and plastic products are molded and heat pressed into the correct form but crystal and glass require more attention as their process is a bit more involved.

Though mostly lacking genuine properties of light refraction, rhinestones do have their own set of advantages to offer. The primary benefit is the fact that these stones are nowhere near as expensive as their real counterparts and are very fitting to the budget minded individual. With the lower prices, people are better able to amass larger collections of pieces that suit their varied needs.

With these items, cost and quality are generally reflective of each other and paste and plastic rhinestone are at the very bottom of that scale. Mid range is occupied by the glass pieces as they offer more durability and better appearance than the lower products. Classified as the elite are the crystal gems which can be so realistic in their hardness, color, clarity and shine that they are often mistaken for authentic stones.

The top of the line products are meticulously made from the finest Austrian leaded crystals. Their standards of quality and appearance are so high they each hand cut piece is designed to be nearly identical to whichever precious gemstone they are designed after. Even with this level of perfection, they remain in the range of affordability for most who desire this type of jewelery.
