Swarovski crystals have a different sparkle to them... VERY pretty.
My friend just gave me her tiara that was sterling silver and Swarovski crystals that she wore for her wedding 3 months ago when I got engaged in October.. its my "smothing borrowed" for my wedding. It was so beautiful.. Swarovski crystals almost look like diamonds they are such good quality.
Just my opinion though..
I've seen bracelets with crystals in them.. very nice.. I have one that a friend made for me. They can be costly though..
