I have always been fascinated with crystals of all kinds, including crystal rings, I love the way when the sun shines on them all the rainbow prisms that reflect everywhere. I have made Swarovski crystal rings now for 8 years, I never tire of making them, it started out as a hobby, but I have always sold loads of them all over the world.

Once you try one of my crystal rings on, they just speak to you, and you have to get that specific one. I have a lens on Squidoo that tells you how to make a basic four flower Swarovski crystal rings with czech crystal as a base.

Swarovski Crystals, creme-de-la-creme,have a long history, originated from Austria. the elite brand name for a big range of precision cut lead crystal glass produced near Zurich in Switzerland owned by Swarovski AG headquarted in Austria. Daniel Swarovski invented the automatic cutting machine in 1892.  Swarovski Crystal contains 32% lead to maximize refraction. (source from The Beader's Book of Crystals)

Crystal Rings and Czech Crystal used to make base of Ring

I also use the Czech crystal (see crystal rings above) for the bases of my crystal rings, they are a cheaper version, but becoming quite popular, slightly different facets, fire polished.

Diamonds, which are a girls best friends, are made from crystallized carbon, so not so different from crystals, and have been around for many years.

Crystals, being durable and beautiful, also have that healing benefit for us, from providing luck, clearing energy, as pendulums, stability for us lovely people in this universe. Practitioners tend to place crystals on the different chakras of the body.Placing crystals around your house will allow positive energy to flow around your place.
