What is strasses jewelry?

In a distant country of France, where poets were singing sonnets to beautiful women, a Jeweler George Frederick Strass created an idea of covering a faceted glass with a special metal powder. There was nothing special about covering glass with metal, but.. this special covering was creating an unusual, rainbow-like effect on glass, which made it look just like diamonds! <br /> Can you imagine wearing glass that looks like a diamond.

Chaton Roses have a lot of uses, like body jewelry (some of it can even be used to swim - a special kind of glue makes it water-resistable for a week or so, and it looks really amazing - actually I was pretty stunned when I first saw this kind of body jewelry); it is also used in dance costumes, as bridal jewelry. <br /> <br /> These stones are real jewelry-makers dream. But you'd better be persistent enough - you might need tens of thousands of stones to decorate a costume, yet you might need only tens to make a little love-heart shaped thing near your belly button. It's really fun and think of the looks of it. <br /> <br /> The most known brand to produce such crystals is (of course) Swarovski crystals. You should easily find those in Internet. <br /> <br />
