Crystal Gift Ideas by Catherine Olivia..

When you are in need of a gift for a special occasion, why not consider a gift of crystal or glassware? We know, it's something that you don't consider at all, but there are many different brands of crystal made today and these crystal makers have a wide array of crystal offerings. Crystal makers like Waterford, Steuben, Lalique, Bellacor, Baccarat, Orrefors, Swarovski, Nambe, Riedel, Miller Rogaska, and Kosta Boda are all makers of fine crystal. You can find a wide variety of crystal gifts. Picture frames, table lamps, figurines, glassware, stemware and barware, and the list goes on. Many people who end up collecting crystal have started because of a special gift given to them. They become lifelong collectors.

One of the most popular crystal collectibles are crystal animals. Some people may collect a certain type of animal, some collect a certain type of crystal maker. Crystal animals choices range from sea creatures, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, horses, cats, dogs, wild animals, monkeys, etc. Lalique and Steuben have fabulous collections of crystal animals. Some of these animals are crystal clear, some are tinted with coloring. My personal favorite crystal animals are the Lalique birds which include parakeets, sparrows, chickadees, robins and eagles.

Crystal table lamp makers Bellacor and Schonbek have a wonderful selection of lamps. Depending on the size of the lamp that you choose, and whether it is a table lamp or a floor lamp, you will pay between $400 and $700 for a top quality lamp. Waterford has a large line of table lamps in their most favorite patterns. Don't think that all crystal lamps are all fussy, they're not. If you have a contemporary home you'll be able to find the perfect crystal table lamp, or crystal floor lamp for your modern decor.

Any bride and groom will cherish the gift received on the day of their wedding, but, the most cherished of things for them will always be the stemware with which they toasted their marriage. Waterford bride and groom flutes are the most popular. Waterford offers their bride and groom flutes in any number of their most popular patterns, such as Waterford Wishes Happy Celebrations, Waterford Connoisseur Gold, Waterford Ballet Giselle, Love and Romance, Turtle Dove, Calling Birds and French Hens.

Italian crystal glassware, or Murano glassware is another fine crystal product. If you want glassware, stemware, cocktail glasses or barware that will enhance any of your fine bone china dishware sets look into Italian crystal glassware. Carlo Moretti is a very famous maker of collectible Italian glassware. He has a set of glasses that are called Moretti Annuals which are extremely popular, they are absolute works of art that you probably won't want your children using.

Crystal Gemstone Jewelry is very popular. There are many different makers of handmade crystal jewelry. Swarovski crystals are the most popular type to use for handmade crystal jewelry makers. Swarovski crystals are made in Austria and are superior to any other brand. Crystal gemstone jewelry also includes sapphire, garnet, aquamarine, labradorite, topaz, tourmaline, morganite, spinel and garnet.

Crystal bridal Jewelry has become the rage with brides putting pearls in second place. Crystal bridal jewelry is so popular because it can be Custom Made and individualized for each bride and her attendants. A lot of makers of crystal bridal jewelry suggest that the attendants also wear the same type of crystal jewelry. This brings another cohesiveness to their look.

Are you aware that natural crystal gemstones have healing powers? We were surprised to find that some people not only use them in jewelry, but also use them for their healing properties. Aquamarine is used to help you be in touch with your spiritual being and is used to help facilitate deep meditations. Amethyst is known as a dream stone. It's helps insomnia when placed under your pillow. Amethyst is also known to help focus energy.
