How To Choose Rhinestone Necklace Sets

By Marissa Velazquez


If you want to give someone a beautiful gift then rhinestone necklace sets are ideal. They provide a beautiful shine and are very stylish. With a wide range available it is possible to choose something distinct to suit a wide array of tastes.

Rhinestones are named after the crystals that were found at the bottom of the river Rhine. In the eighteenth century dust was coated on the bottom of the crystals in order to make them resemble diamonds. In recent times this material is still used as a kind of diamond substitute.

Rhinestones can be made from acrylic, crystals and glass. The material looks like diamonds and has similar properties. While not as durable as diamond the best ones will be indistinguishable, providing a similar shine. This is why they are still used in tiaras, costumes and so forth. With the best quality ones it can be hard to know until someone points out that they are not diamonds and indeed a lot of producers that work with crystals can make jewelry that looks great in and of itself.

The mistake people make is that because rhinestones are not diamonds they lack the same style. This does not have to be the case. While it is true there are cheap rhinestone sets there are plenty of good quality sets as well. What you choose depends on the kind of style you want.

What you choose ultimately depends on what you are wearing. For example some sets are specially designed to complement bridal wear or bridesmaids dresses. Others may be better suited to evening wear or something you want to wear to a meeting. Therefore you may want something more dazzling for the evening wear or something more subtle to wear at a meeting.

The quality of sets can vary depending on the type of materials used and the quality of the crystals. Ideally you want to avoid something from a market that has not been regulated. For example some cheaper sets can include copper and this can result in a green sheen on the skin, something that will not look good if someone is taking pictures!

In terms of getting a gift you may have to get measurements for the person you are buying for. This can sometimes be difficult if you are trying to give them a surprise. It is also worth looking for personalisation options as this can help to make the gift seem that bit more special. Remember to look at other types of jewelry they have as this will give you a better chance of finding something they will like.

It is advisable to go to a store to try rhinestone necklace sets if you are buying them for yourself. This will allow you to consider what works best for your needs. With a gift it is worth getting measurements so that you can find something that fits. While it may be possible to resize some items it is best to try and get this right first time. Look online for more information as well as feedback on the best sets to buy.
