10 Reasons to Buy Crystals Over Diamonds

When someone says â??Swarovski Crystalâ? most people will think luxurious, expensive, and sparkly.  When someone says â??Diamondsâ? what do most people think of? Luxurious, expensive and sparkly!  In a down economy, we all have had to make some cut backs on the unnecessary things in our lives.  This is a time when being â??thriftyâ? gets you what you want, but might take a little more work. Why not take this approach when deciding on a purchase for something that is luxurious, expensive, and sparkly?

Probably for this same exact reason, it has become a rapidly growing trend for designers to use Swarovski Crystals to add more value and extravagance to their existing work.  Just sign up for Swarovski Google Alerts and you will see exactly this.  Everything from doggie accessories, high fashion runway garments, cell phone cases, computers, cameras, watches, glasses, Marilyn Monroe paraphernalia, telescopes, even the Lamborghini Murcielago is sparkling!

Since 1895, Swarovski has built an amazing luxury brand that has inspired creative trends in jewelry, fashion, accessories, and interior design. Designers like Armani, Daisy Lowe, Tarun Tahiliani, and even menâ??s designers are using Swarovski Crystals to kick things up a notch and offer something they consider lavish.  Celebrities like Kate Hudson, Claudia Schiffer, and Paris Hilton (all very wealthy) have publicly showed their love for the brand.
