Rhinestone Bridesmaid Jewelry With Brilliance

By Katrina Wheeler


Practically every woman enjoys the opportunity to wrap herself in glamor and glitz, and a wedding is the perfect platform in which to do just that. It is a chance for the bride and all her closest friends to enjoy beauty treatments and special attentions. The things that complete their adornments are not just the clothing, but the beautiful rhinestone bridesmaid jewelry and various accessories.

When it comes to creating a complete look, the impact lies in some of the smallest of details. A stylish hairdo may be beautiful on its own but when it is embellished with just the right hair comb, clip or pin, it can be a spectacular work of art. Finishing touches are achieved by adding attention grabbing pieces like earrings, brooches, bracelets, necklaces, rings and hand bags.

The proper choice of accessories is going to depend largely on what type of look one is wishing to achieve. Silver, gold and pearls are often used to create the feel of a classic and timeless elegance. Wearing sparkling gems such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds make a much more outspoken statement that never fails to grasp the attention of all who see.

The problem for most people has always been that those items are often outside their budget, and so it becomes necessary to find a more affordable option. Rhinestones made with high quality Austrian crystals, made by the Swarovski company, are the closest alternative as they are cut to such perfection that they mimic the genuine articles so closely. Other choices include those made of glass and acrylic.

The benefit of the artificially made gems is that they are considerably easier to afford than the genuine articles. Used in clothing, crafts and jewelry, these types of stones can be made in wide variety of colors, sizes and shapes to suit different needs. Just how brilliantly they sparkle and shine is going to depend on the materials used to make them.

The least expensive option is to purchase stones made from acrylic, a type of molded plastic. They are mass produced in a virtual rainbow of colors and are great for crafts and accent pieces. These are not as shiny as the other styles because their material does not have any light refracting properties, but if made with a translucent tint, they still look beautiful.

Glass is the median of quality as far as these items are concerned. They provide a higher clarity than the acrylics but can only refract light if backed by silver or a quality metal based foil. Their sparkle is lovely, which makes them quite popular for use in affordable accessories like rings, bracelets, tiaras, necklaces, earrings, brooches, hair combs and pins, as well as many other baubles.

To achieve a look and quality that is as close to the actual gems as possible, one would need to choose Swarovski crystals, which are the most costly of the alternatives. Each one is cut by hand with as many as twelve facets to catch and refract the light with so much sparkle and brilliance that they look almost genuine. Rhinestone bridesmaid jewelry and other accessories made with these stones are so realistic looking that the average person fails to notice the difference.
