Capturing the vibrant colors of glass beads, and capturing how the Swarovski crystal beads sparkle so brightly when light hits them in a photo is very difficult!
Please keep in mind that not all colors are going to look in a photo exactly the same hue as it would in your hand or hanging from your ears. They'll look even better in person!!

WHAT STYLE OF JEWELRY BEST SUITS YOU?
Tips to help you choose the best style of jewelry to suit your own unique facial features:
The Heart shaped face is widest at the forehead and cheeks and then narrows at the chin. Edges are soft and curved. Jewelry featuring a strong horizontal line leads the eyes from side to side and visually adds width to the lower half of the face.If you have a Heart-shaped face, the best earring choices are round hoops with curved edges, teardrop earrings that have curves and flare at the bottom, dangling triangle shapes and earrings that are wider at the bottom than they are at the top.
A Round face will have equal distance all around, with the nose in the center. Round faces also have softly curved cheekbones and jawline. Choosing longer necklaces will add length to the face.
The best earring choices for a round-shaped face are oval, elongated, drop-style, long chandelier, or any long and thin earrings.
With a Square-shaped face, necklaces with round, oval or soft-edges will soften your jawline and help the eye travel in a vertical line, making your face appear longer and narrower.
In keeping with the soft lines of an Oval face, soft shapes such as pearls, teardrops, circles and ovals work best to accentuate your beautiful features.

Swarovski® Beads
How to ensure you are getting the real thing
Swarovski® (Swore-off-ski) crystal components are regarded as the highest quality machine cut and polished crystal beads in the world. The demand for luxury products unfortunately can create a host of imitators.The Swarovski® company creates its glass with a special compound that imitators cannot duplicate. This special compound creates the incredible brilliance of their product. The delicate color palette is another quality that sets Swarovski® crystal components apart from others.
With so many crystal beads and components out there, how can you tell if the crystal you are purchasing is actually a Swarovski® crystal component....or an imitation?
Here are some tips that can help you determine which crystals are genuine:
1. Swarovski® crystals are perfectly uniform. Since they are machine cut, each crystal is the same. This means that the height, width and slope are consistent. A hand polished imitator bead will not have as uniform a cut. You may also notice different dimensions from bead to bead.
2. Swarovski® uses machinery that precisely cuts each crystal. According to Swarovski®, "cutting hard materials such as crystal and gems, in such a way that they have a hundred identical facets in several directions, is a very complicated task; each direction of the reflected light must first be calculated by computer, then this has to be simulated in 3D, optimized and finally converted into control programs for complex machinery." This is just part of the technology that gives Swarovski® crystals their unbelievable flash.
3. The precision cutting of Swarovski® machinery allows each crystal to have its facet juncture "pointing up". This means the facet junctures all meet at precisely the same point. This is a similar aspect of diamond faceting.
4. AB finish Swarovski® crystals have a uniform surface luster. There are no swirling marks from the vacuum process that produces the AB finish, and generally there are no scratches. The "imitations" often have scratches, swirl marks ("oily" looking surface). Some of these imperfections, in the "imposters", have to do with the lower quality of the finish.
5. When you look inside the crystal, you will see no bubbles. If you see any bubbles, you know immediately that it is a fake.
6. Because of its special glass compounds, Swarovski® crystal will out-sparkle a bead of lesser quality when placed in a side-by-side comparison.
This information has helped me to ensure that the Swarovski® crystal beads that I use in my creations are genuine. Now you too can be sure that if I say Swarovski® crystal beads are used in any of my designs, that they will be the real thing!

Feel the Passion
October's child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know;
But lay an Opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
