Swarovski crystal rock jewelry inspiration

  

This is one of the most special and glamour’s SW crystal effects therefore creating a collection or even just a few jewelry pieces with crystal rocks in them is fabulously fun.

 

How to embed the crystal rocks: choose a good transparent glue for jewelry making and spread it all around the metal stone setting, place the crystal rock inside the setting and let it dry for a few minutes.


The effect of this sparkly crystal surface is just the perfect for making charm necklaces and bracelets. It looks big and sparkly without a lot of work put out into these jewelry pieces.
The crystal rock is very light weighted, and therefore makes the right element to use when you want to make jewelry pieces such as big, bold pendants, eye catching earrings, or a big volume center piece for bracelet.

 

Necklaces:
Here you can see different stone settings for the crystal rocks, plated in different metal color plating.
Same of the crystal rocks have a silicon transparent base and the metal color of the stone setting is seen - you can play with this effect to create a metallic, shiny and clean look.

 

 

Connect a 60cm - 70cm of chain to the top of the stone setting and hang a charm or two, with one small SW crystal to create a casual but glamorous look.

 

 

Bracelets:
Here are a few examples for using one large 24mm or smaller 15mm crystal rocks as a centerpiece for bracelets.


You can make a very simple and basic bracelet by connecting two parts of chain on each side of the stone setting, and closing it with a clasp and extension chain on either side. Changing the crystal rocks and metal plating colors will create different looks.

 

 

Wrap around bracelets are very popular and trendy, with its endless options and styles.


Here are a few ideas for creating bracelets using chains and leather strings that will be wrapped around the wrist several times, and one stone setting with crystal rock as a center piece.

 

The clasp can be connected at the back of the bracelet or became a decorated element when connected to one side of the stone setting at the front side of the bracelet.

 

 

Creating jewelry pieces with crystal rock is very easy and the result looks stunning and sparkly!

 

Have fun creating your own crystal rock jewelry.
