Wearing the Beauty of Crystals

Human beings are naturally appreciative of beauty. And women sure know how to make themselves beautiful. They often use accessories like crystal bracelets which lend their natural charms to the wearer. They can also make a woman more confident as she moves her body, knowing she has on a beautiful crystal bracelet which can easily complement the sparkle in her eyes.
Crystal bracelets are usually handmade and lined together to form a ring using sterling silver, gold, or any nickel-free metal base. While they may look so cute and playful, crystals need special care to keep them looking gorgeous. For hygienic purposes, they should also be washed at least once or twice a month. A mild detergent and water can be used as a cleaning solution or one can use jewelry cleansing liquid. After rinsing, the crystals should be wiped dry with cotton or flannel cloth. On a day-to-day basis, they can just be wiped with dry flannel cloth. and should be stored in a box and placed inside a small plastic bag to make sure they don't tangle with other jewelry.
Crystal bracelets are usually labeled as Swarovski, Czech, or Austrian. In the fashion world, most adore Swarovski crystals which are known for their very attractive sparkle. Swarovski crystals are also clear though colored. Crystal bracelets use different kinds and shapes of crystals. Common ones used are Peridot, Emerald, Tanzanite, Citrine, Amethyst, Topaz, Sapphire, Garnet, Carnelian and Chalcedony. The crystals are shaped according to marketable jewelry specifications. They may be cut into squares, teardrops, spheres, or any shape preferred.
Crystal bracelets are not only used as accessories to enhance beauty but also to promote healing. It is believed that crystals have energies and these energies are transferred to the wearer of the crystal jewelry. A crystal bracelet of Amethyst is said to bring protection while Carnelians bring out the creativity. Some are said to invite love and strengthen relationships or bring good luck and prosperity. On the other hand, there are also crystals which are said to bring bad vibes and those that tend to suck the energies of the wearer, thus, bringing the person's spirits down.
In reality though, whatever happens to us will probably have something to do with the decisions we make and not necessarily because of some crystals. But one thing we know for sure is, when it comes to beauty and charm, crystals do deliver.
Choose bead bracelets to complement your evening look or maybe a bangle bracelet for that special mini black dress on special occasions. Or if you just want to look fabulous, count on the crystals to do the work.
