Rhinestone Earrings With Impressive Sparkle

By Marissa Velazquez


Jewelry is beautiful to look at and can also be used to symbolize a special moment or relationship. It is also great for adding that extra touch to an outfit that makes it complete. Having just the right necklace, some bangles, a bracelet or an amazing pair of rhinestone earrings can easily take a look from casual to party in an instant.

For centuries, a variety of materials have been used to decorate the necks, wrists, fingers, ankles and ears of women. Sometimes they represent a social status, such as being married, but more often these accessories are simply an attractive way to look and feel good. Accessories of this type can be found in many forms from the simple basic designs to the extremely elaborate.

Some of the more popular pieces are made with real gold and silver and have accents of various precious stones that deliver a stunning bit of sparkle. A lot of expensive jewelry will contain valuable gems like sapphires, rubies, emeralds, amethysts and diamonds. While those items can be quite costly, equally beautiful accessories can be made using more affordable options like rhinestones and Cubic Zirconia.

These artificially made stones can be crafted with a high level of quality that makes them nearly identical to their genuine inspirations though they do not cost as much. Rhinestones an be made from several materials, including glass, paste, acrylic and crystals which means they are available in various levels of quality and price ranges. Practically anyone can afford to be flashy using this accent option.

In the beginning all rhinestones were made from the rocks that lined the Rhine river's banks because those stones had a unique ability to beautifully refract light. Modern pieces are made through molding acrylic plastics or glass into specific shapes and covering the flat backs with a substance made of powdered metal to give them a reflective property. The best quality products with the most authentic look are actually cut from the best quartz crystal.

Using these sparkling replicated stones, anyone can experience the high glitz look of Hollywood's most glamorous stars. Though many brands of rhinestones are of high quality, there is no doubt that Swarovski crystals are the epitome of excellence in this field. The quartz from which each one is hand cut has such clarity that once shaped and shined, they are very hard to immediately distinguish from the authentic gems.

They are also much more durable than any other option. High quality quartz is quite hard so it does not break, crack, scuff or cloud up as most other materials are prone to do. The sparkle generated by well cut crystals is so impressive that most people find it difficult to determine whether or not they are actual gemstones without close inspection.

Beautiful pieces of jewelry that are loaded with sparkle and glitz do not have to cost a fortune. Rhinestone earrings and other accessories can be just as impressive as pieces made with actual diamonds, emeralds, rubies and other precious stones. These products are available in styles that range from ones that are perfect for every day use, to those that are sure to garner positive attention at the most prestigious of events.
