Crystal Stemware & Glassware:
You had the dinner party and it was a success, your guests loved your beautiful hand painted wine glasses. Now the guests have gone home and you have the task of cleaning your delicate crystal jewelry. So what is the best way to accomplish this?
Crystal is as delicate as it is beautiful. Cleaning must be done with care, preferably one piece at a time. The less you handle the piece the better, most damage occurs when cleaning and moving.
Putting stemware in the dishwasher is very risky, especially hand blown crystal, it is much too fragile. Ideally they should be hand washed by hands as delicate as the crystal itself.

The first step is to line the bottom of your sink with a dish towel or paper towels to buffer the delicate items. Wash each piece as a single (holding wine glasses by their bowl rather than the stem) in warm water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Then rinse in a bowl of warm water (temperature changes can cause breakage and hot water can fade hand-painted pieces) dry with a cotton or lint free towel while warm. Then place right side up to cool before storing. Do Not stack items.

Crystal Figurines:
Curios are just what you are looking for displaying and keeping your crystal collection beautiful and almost dust free. To help prevent dust from entering your cabinets and curios, apply weather stripping to the edges of the doors. When displaying your pieces, keep them back from the edges to prevent them from falling.
To clean crystal figurines wipe them with newspaper dipped in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts water. Remove dirt from fine crevices using an inexpensive auto detail brush or soft toothbrush. The bristles are stiff enough to get into tight spaces, but soft enough not to damage surface

Crystal Jewelry:
Just wearing your fine Crystal necklace causes it to become dirty from the oils in your skin. Keep in mind an important fact to keeping your jewelry looking its best….ALWAYS put your pendants, necklaces and Crystal earrings on after you’ve applied your make-up and hair products.
To really make your crystal jewelry sparkle you’ll need to soak the pieces in a sudsy combination of hot water and Dawn dishwashing liquid for just a few minutes. Then gently go over the pieces with a very soft old toothbrush, if necessary. Rinse with hot water. Dry with paper towels, and then set out on paper towels to finish drying.

Stains on Crystal:
For tough stains-put about two teaspoons of rice into the bowl of crystal, add water and swirl gently. Repeat if necessary.
For stubborn stains- make a paste of lemon juice and baking powder (finer and less abrasive than baking soda) and rub over crystal and wash.
For extra shiny streak free glasses, add a little vinegar or borax to the final rinse water.

Not only are crystal jewelry items purported to have metaphysical properties, but they have several other benefits as well. Crystals come in a much wider range of colors than traditional gem stones, giving wearers greater flexibility to find a unique, yet beautiful, piece of jewelry in atypical shades. Crystals may be cut or tumbled, resulting in unusual shapes and polishes, and Crystal necklace is often far less expensive than gemstone jewelry.

Some crystals, such as peridot, may even be available as both gemstones and tumbled crystals, offering interested wearers many options for how to display their favorite stones.

Because most crystals are still relatively undervalued, their Crystal earrings is not typically found in mainstream jewelry stores. Online stores offer a greater variety of both jewelry and carved crystal figurines, wands, and eggs, while niche boutiques that carry new age items such as incense, bamboo arrangements, and meditation devices are likely to offer a collection of crystal jewelry as well.

If you are unable to find the exact combination of crystals you want in a jewelry piece, it is easy to create your own custom designs. Many independent, alternative jewelry designers are willing to create customized pieces with crystals that patrons provide, and they may even be willing to work closely with customers to bring their visions of specific types of jewelry to reality. If you are only interested in a simple piece, however – such as a basic pendant – there are do-it-yourself jewelry kits that can help you make the item yourself for far lower costs.

Crystal jewelry is popular not only for its acclaimed mystical properties, but also for its versatility and stunning variety. From rich black shades to blood red hues to light purple, translucent white, or aqua green tints, there is a crystal for every color of the rainbow and interested crystal connoisseurs can easily find one to create a unique and luxurious piece of jewelry to suit both their mental and physical preferences.

Many of my bead-related crystal jewelry projects often incorporate crystals. Who doesn't love a little instant sparkle added to her jewelry designs? Two bead lovers got together, though, and decided to make their book all about the crystal. Create crystal jewelry: Dazzling Designs to Make and Wear (published by Interweave Press $22.95 US; $28.95 CAN) by Marlene Blessing and Jamie Hogsett focuses on the brillance of Crystal bracelet beads.

The first thing I noticed when looking at the projects in this book was the fact that they were not all bead stringing type projects. There are bead stringing projects; for example, an early "wow!" piece in the book is the Arabian Nights necklace, a multi-strand jewelry piece made with dark purple crystals in various shapes and finished off with a toggle clasp. However. there were a surprising number of bead weaving projects where stitches like peyote or brick were used with smaller seed beads and crystals. The uninitiated to bead weaving might find a few projects a tad challenging, but there are still some projects for the beginner, such as the Catch a Falling Star earrings which combine fringe technique with seed beads and crystals and end with a beautiful crystal starfish.

Tucked here and there among the 20 jewelry projects are tid bits of crystal info. Did you know that the dress Marilyn Monroe wore during her Happy Birthday song to the President had 6,000 Swarovski crystals attached to it? Jewelry makers who have been looking for alternatives to basic bead weaving work, will enjoy the incorporation of the crystals, and while I would not suggest this as a book to learn how to bead weave by, there are a number of simpler projects as well as bead stringing jewelry pieces to make and enjoy as well.
