Rhinestone Necklace Sets As Gifts

By Marci Glover


It can be a rather intimidating task trying to find a gift that matches someone's personality. While the common choices of flowers, perfumes and candies are all tried and true, they may not be right for saying just how special the recipient is. When faced with this problem, rhinestone necklace sets could be just the solution one seeks.

Traditional gifts are nice but they may not make an impression that says a lot of thought went into the selection. Jewelry, on the other hand, is a personal item normally chosen because the giver feels it will make the receiver feel something special and beautiful. Rhinestones are used to make necklace of such varied styles that it is rare that there is not a piece to fit an individual's likes and needs.

The four basic substances from which the simulated jewels known as rhinestones are made are lead crystal, special glass, acrylic plastic and pastes. There are a great deal of variations in the clarity and quality of each medium which will have some effect on both appearance and cost. Sometimes the products are made just to provide a colored stone and at others, they are meant to take the place of real gemstones.

Deciding which type of stone medium is best for one's needs can be determined by looking at a few influencing factors. These include things such as how old the recipient is, where the gift may be worn, as well as how much one is willing to spend. Several other circumstances may also have some affect on the choice, those these are among the most common.

The lead crystal stones created by the Swarovski company are without a doubt considered the top of the line in this kind of product. Each piece is hand cut from the highest quality material for the ultimate in clarity and shine. These gems are so meticulously formed that they are often mistaken for the genuine articles.

Such incredible quality has earned these gems the top spot, which is evident in the fact that they do cost a bit more than others of this type. The price is further justified by their crystal clarity, natural light refracting sparkle and extreme durability and resistance to damage such as cracks, scratches or breakage. Wearing pieces made of these stones can give the look of expensive jewels without having to spend a fortune.

On the lower end of the product scale are the stones made by molding pastes or plastics. These are of much lower quality, having great color retention but absolutely no sparkle or resistance to scratches and scuffs, often cracking or breaking with very little force required. Midways between these and the crystals are the glass gems, which are average on all aspects including price, durability, appearance and clarity.

This wide array of product selection gives the consumer so many options when seeking the perfect piece. Jewelery styles span the gamut from just a basic pendant dangling from a chain to an intricate and elaborate design with blinding sparkle. The variety in appearance, quality and cost means that there is something available to fit practically any budget, desire or need.
