>> Thursday, October 24, 2013

Born during 1862 in the Czech Republic, Daniel Swarovski worked in his fathers glass factory. During his apprenticeship, he developed a love and interest in glass cutting that was responsible for him designing and patenting a glass cutting machine. The machine cuts the glass to produce crystals, that are used in making handmade swarovski crystal jewelry

You will find fashion accessories on sale in the majority of stores, and on stalls in street markets. You should examine fashion pieces carefully, as on first glance stones may seem genuine. However, on closer inspection and when compared with genuine crystal it can be easily seen that the glass gems are not the real item.

There is a huge market for importing mass produced fashion accessories and the products for making your own. Just because the gems may be highly priced, it could be a mistake to think they are genuine Austrian crystals. When you examine the glass gems closely, look for clarity on the inside and an exceptional sparkle on the outside. If they contain any flaws, they are not the genuine article.

Competition is fierce in the fashion accessories business. There are hundreds of newcomers every year, trying to make their name and gain a place in this market. It usually requires some unique designs and quality products to attract and retain a customer bases and get that first step on the ladder to success.

Crystals vary in size, shape and color. You can produce traditional pieces or be creative with your handmade designs to create some stunning but affordable fashion pieces. Use good quality strings, chains, ropes and clasps to put the finishing touches to your piece.

When you are buying your supplies on the internet, you should check their origin. You can buy in bulk, which proves more cost effective, which is fine if you make and sell your own designs. If, however, you only want a few to make a special piece you should shop around for the best price. Do check that any crystals you buy come from Austria if you want quality and to produce a piece of genuine handmade swarovski crystal jewelry.

There are as many types of crystal beads as there are glass beads. Swarovski is a brand of high grade crystal so their beads are more expensive because of their quality and added sparkle.
