Crystal Clip On Earrings
Crystal has a multi-faceted personality. When cut and shaped like a gem, it sparkles as brilliantly as diamonds. Moulded into pastel beads, it has a ladylike charm that's as soft as your favourite cashmere throw. It plays beautifully against glass and pearls, yet crystal can also take centre stage as a dramatic solitaire stone. Constellations of crystals resemble starbursts and snowflakes. Crystal can mimic other stones, but with an iridescent aurora finish, it looks uniquely beautiful.
Swarovski Crystal
If one name is synonymous with all things crystal, it's Swarovski. The pioneering jewellery manufacturer has created crystal colours, cuts and finishes that no one else has duplicated. A pair of colourless Swarovski crystal clip on earrings in a solitaire design look as elegant as diamond studs; wear them with anything from your favourite day dresses to your best evening finery. Swarovski also does glamour, as any glance through fashion magazines will show. Dramatic chandelier styles are so eye-catching that they've made appearances on runways and red carpets. You'll feel like a star too in these big, bold styles.
Crystal can also go subtle and soft when you choose. Small faceted crystal beads lend a touch of sparkle to smooth rose quartz, soft jade and delicate turquoise. A pair of drop clip on earrings with crystal-accented beadwork and metal findings look sweet with casual layered looks and soften the crisp edges of a tailored suit. Pearls are at their loveliest when paired with crystal; the lambent glow of the pearls catches the shimmer of the crystal in the most beautiful way. In your jewellery wardrobe, these crystal combinations span the gap between sparkle and shine, letting you mix and match pearls and beads with faceted gems and still look perfectly put together.
Whether you cast crystal as a supporting player or as the star of the show, you'll love its versatility.
