Crystal jewelry is an affordable alternative to precious jewelry and is quite trendy since it is more fashion oriented than symbolically oriented. If you plan to give a gift of fine jewelry made with precious metals and genuine gemstones it will usually be in response to the special occasion of a loved one. It can be a bar or bat mitsvah, a communion, the birth of a child, an anniversary or any of the other myriad occasions that come up in the Western calender.
These occasions take into account the preferences of the giftee but overall a gift of fine jewelry is meant to be worn irrespective of fashion and more with an eye for the memory of the occasion and the giver of the gift.
However jewelry can also be a fashion accessory like a pocket book, a handbag or a belt. Crystal jewelry is this type of accessory partly because it is relatively easy to make for manufacturers and beading experts who work from home. So this jewelry has a more of a chance to follow the latest fashion trends and will also more likely be a self purchase that a woman or young girl makes to accessorize part of her wardrobe.
