Not every girl can allow diamonds and sapphires, but the desire to shine and attract her views from this does not become less. And here the modern fashion offers ladies an excellent analogue of elite jewelry - jewelry with rhinestones Swarovski. These products are not just a "fake" for expensive jewelry, it is a separate cast of costume jewelry, having a long history and a lot of positive feedback. Jewelry with Swarovski crystals became elements of Marlene Dietrich , Tina Turner, Madonna and many other celebrities. The legendary fashion houses Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Versace, Victoria Secret and Chanel use iridescent rhinestones and costume jewelery to decorate collections of clothing.
The secret of jewelry with Swarovski crystals
The creator of rhinestones, Daniel Swarovski entered the world history after the development of the world's first mechanized means for electric glass grinding. In 1985, he opened a factory for manufacturing rhinestones of their crystal, imitating elite stones. At that time, the stones were used for accessories and clothes. Over time, the popularity of "crystal diamonds" has grown so much that the company has representative offices in many countries. The firm began to cooperate with the houses of Fashion, without stopping at the same time in development. Manfred Swarovski (grandson of Daniel) invented the technology of making colored crystals. It was a breakthrough, because no one had done it before.
Today, jewelry with Swarovski stones broke the stereotype that all unnatural is a cheap forgery. Unlike the "natural" substitutes for diamonds (zircon, rutile and cubic zirconia), artificial rhinestones have an intensified luster, which makes them beautifully shining in the sun. Perfectly cut strasses are attached to the base of gold, silver or platinum.
Ornaments from Swarovski crystals - varieties
Today, we can distinguish several types of jewelry, for the decoration of which famous rhinestones are used:
- Gold ornaments with Swarovski crystals. To make jewelry, gold of 585 tests is used. Rhinestones are placed on spherical or drop-shaped surfaces. It is on this form that the crystals shine particularly brightly. The most popular gold ornaments from Swarovski are earrings and pendants. Earrings traditionally have a fastener "French lock" (in the form of a loop), which very firmly secures the earring in the ear. Pendants have a lot of variations and shapes.
- Swarovski hair accessories. Bright rhinestones are especially beautiful in the hair, adding a piquant note to the image. The stones are used for the decoration of studs, hoops, clasps and automatic machines, combs. Very gently look strands of rhinestones, which attach to strands of hair. Such hairpins can be worn every day or used for solemn events (wedding, graduation).
- Piercing with rhinestones. The gentle glow of the stones looks especially beautiful in the earrings for the navel piercing. Balls, butterflies, flowers - all this is decorated with branded stones, as a result of which the decoration gets a complete look.
Choose jewelry with rhinestones you need very carefully. Inspect the mounts of the rhinestones, check to see if there are any dropped stones. Although with Swarovski pastes and work very carefully, sometimes there are minor flaws, which need to be identified even before the purchase. In addition, you need to know how to care for Swarovski's ornaments. Remember that before cleaning and water procedures the products should be removed and put them in a dry place. Avoid contact of rhinestones with household chemicals, cosmetics, hairspray and perfume.
