The History of Beaded Jewelry - The Genius of Swarovski

The History of Beaded Jewelry - The Genius of Swarovski

There's no question that Swarovski has made a sparkling name for itself in the history of beaded jewelry, but it's more than just a company name - it's a family name. Back in 1895, Austrian jeweler Daniel Swarovski developed and patented an electric cutting machine that made more precise glass cuts than could be done by hand.

Swarovski Austrian Crystals: Their Many Shades of Pink

Swarovski Austrian Crystals: Their Many Shades of Pink

Okay.  Pink is pink.  Right?  Not according to Swarovski Austrian Crystals: Shades of Pink.  This company, which is the genius of glass and crystal, has 16 shades of pink! 

Their five standard pink colors include Rose Pink, Light Rose Pink, Light Satin Rose Pink, Rosaline, and Fuchsia. These lovely, feminine crystal beads make gorgeous beaded jewelry.  Jewelers often choose Rose Pink as the October birthstone due to its similarity to the pink diamond. It presents an understated, elegant look as a ring or earrings.  The Light Rose Pink makes a pleasing contrast to all the other pinks.  Even lighter than the Light Rose, Rosaline has a light lavender tint and goes well with that color or contrasts with purple. Fuchsia presents a deep rose color with overtones of purple.
