Basics Crystal Rings That You Need
Crystals and gems exist in various forms, colors, and hardness. They have been used as jewelry by man for thousands of years. In fact, the value of diamonds, which are crystallized carbon to be exact, have remained unchanged all these years, and continue to be highly valued for their beauty and durability. But, crystals are more than just beautiful objects to adorn ourselves with. They have been used to balance, heal, and improve luck, for as long as man has been around. Here are some of the ways crystals are being used for the benefit of humans.
The science of using crystals to heal physical disorders is not new, and it is based on the electric conductivity of crystals, and the belief that all living things have an energy "body" that emanates from their physical body so long as they are alive. This energy runs in circuits around the body and interchange at points, better known as chakras. Placing crystals on the chakras is believed to help the organs of the body heal and perform their functions better.
Crystal Rings are quite easy to make yourself. Here are the basics that you need:
1. Swarovski Crystals
These are trendy designed crystals by the Austrian giant Swarovski Crystal, with the Swan LOGO on wrappings. I'm sure all of you have something of Swarovski crystal, either in your cupboard, in amongst your jewelery, hair accessories, a cell phone encrusted with one or a cell phone case encrusted with some crystals, in the house, chandeliers, miniatures of little animals. Designers love Swarovski crystal for wedding dresses, bridal tiaras, watches, fashions from jeans or latest style outfits. They keep coming up with new colours, new crystal cuts and different effects on the crystals. Swarovski crystal beads, also have a a D.I.Y. "Create your own Style" online you can check out. At the end of the day it is expressing your self with the new crystals. They come in a variety of sizes I use the 4mm bi-cone ones for the top of my rings.
When someone says "Swarovski Crystal" most people will think luxurious, expensive, and sparkly. When someone says "Diamonds" what do most people think of? Luxurious, expensive and sparkly! In a down economy, we all have had to make some cut backs on the unnecessary things in our lives. This is a time when being "thrifty" gets you what you want, but might take a little more work. Why not take this approach when deciding on a purchase for something that is luxurious, expensive, and sparkly?
Probably for this same exact reason, it has become a rapidly growing trend for designers to use Swarovski Crystals to add more value and extravagance to their existing work. Just sign up for Swarovski Google Alerts and you will see exactly this. Everything from doggie accessories, high fashion runway garments, cell phone cases, computers, cameras, watches, glasses, Marilyn Monroe paraphernalia, telescopes, even the Lamborghini Murcielago is sparkling!
2. Czech Crystal-Preciosa brand
Slightly cheaper crystals, but very popular, I use them as the base of my crystal rings. They are not as shiny as Swarovski but they have a new range out that is pretty good. Fire polished facets are slightly and subtly different from Swarovski. The Chinese crystal is the cheapest. I use them in 4mm as well but the more rounded one.
