Beauty of Crystals

By Greg Pierce

Everyone is appreciative of anything beautiful. And women sure know how to make
themselves beautiful. They often use accessories like crystal bracelets which lend their
natural charms to the wearer. Crystal bracelets can complement the sparkle of a woman's
eyes that's why she become more confident.

Crystal bracelets are typically handmade and lined together to form a ring using sterling
silver, gold, or any nickel-free metal base. Preserving crystals need a special amount of
care. For hygienic purposes, they should also be washed at least once or twice a month.
You can make use of a mild detergent or a jewelry cleansing liquid in cleaning the jewelry.
After rinsing, the crystals should be wiped dry with cotton or flannel cloth. If you want to
clean it daily, just wipe it using a flannel cloth that is dry. And should be kept in a box and
placed inside a small plastic bag to make sure they don't tangle with other jewelry.

Swarovski, Czech or Austrian are the usual crystal bracelets. Swarovski crystals are the
most popular crystals especially in the fashion industry. 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. For these crystals to become marketable, there are certain
specifications used. Some are shaped like square, teardrops, spheres or any other shape.

Crystal bracelets are also used to promote healing, aside from it being a thing of beauty and
fashionAside from being a thing of fashion, crystal bracelets promote healing. There's a
belief that crystals have positive energies that are being transferred to the one wearing it.
Amethyst bracelets for instance are said to bring protection while Carnelians are said to
bring out a person's artistic thinking. There are other bracelets that are said to attract love or
strengthen relationship. Some are for bringing good luck. 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 always because of some crystals. But one thing we know for
sure is, when it comes to beauty and charm, crystals do deliver.

Choose a bangle bracelet to complement your evening look or maybe a cuff 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.
