Crystal and Glass Jewelry

While it may not be labeled precious, crystal and glass jewelry can look every bit as good as its gemstone equivalents, especially if it's made using precision-cut crystals from a company like Swarovski. The Austrian crystal and glass jewelry behemoth has been producing top quality lead crystal since 1895 and has cornered the market on fine, fashionable glass jewelry. The crystals boast a unique refractory quality that gives their surface a beguiling rainbow appearance.

Thanks to its affordability, crystal and glass jewelry can incorporate large pieces of crystal for use in pendants and necklaces. More fine jewelry designers have begun to include crystal jewelry in their repertoires in order to bring down price points without sacrificing style or quality.

One type of crystal jewelry that was extremely popular during the Art Deco era and has since been revived as a high-end designer favorite uses rock crystal, the clear variety of quartz, which is the second most abundant mineral in the earth's crust (after feldspar).

Crystal and glass jewelry items range from standard pieces of jewelry to figurines and related glass products made from the same finely cut glass. A number of fashion designers have taken advantage of the brilliance of crystals by sewing them into their clothing. For example, items made with Swarovski's Crystallized series of crystals include high fashion pieces such as gowns and wedding dresses.
