Get Outrageous Swarovski Crystal Head Gear Like Lady Gaga

Ever wonder where Lady Gaga gets her crazy headgear? NYC jewelry line Erickson Beamon has been making pieces (you can order them too!) for the daring singer and her many red-carpet appearances.

For the annual ACE Awards, Erickson crafted a black Chantilly lace veil; for a more sober interview with CNN, Gaga chose this Swarovski crystal–encrusted helmet, complete with metal eyelashes. ericksonbeamon.com

Normally I would give advice on how to Swarovski crystallize this yourself for less $$, however I’ve never seen anything like it or know anyone who would wear something like it besides Lady Gaga haha.  However, do check out ericksonbeamon.com because the website is amazing!

Katy Perry Rocks Swarovski Crystallized Daisy Dukes

In Katy Perry’s new video for her newest single “California Gurls,” she sings about her daisy dukes while rocking a pair of Swarovski Crystallized ones that are amazing!

I read that Diesel made them special just for her,  with the help of her stylist, Johnny Wujek; they embellished their “Mintha” jean shorts with over 700 blue and gray (looks like black diamond and sapphire, but that’s just a guess!)  Swarovski crystals.

This inspired me to wear some shorts over the weekend that I bedazzled on the butt with my Bejeweler!! But I do like how Diesel crystallized around the waste giving it the look of a belt. 

Unfortunately when you have on a huge icecream sunday bra on, it sorta takes away from the effect of the crystals!

Crystallizing with Swarovski Elements is Truly An Art Form!

Hey Everyone! 

It’s been a little while since I last posted because I was away at the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  It is the largest bead show in the world and it was an awesome experience for me.  I was able to shop around for unique finds and meet a ton of people just like me! 

I actually met a girl who has truly turned her love for art into a crystallizing business.  She first started out designing mozaics with glass and other materials, and slowly started downsizing her art pieces by designing with Swarovski elements. 

Her business is named Crystal Ninja http://www.crystalninja.com and she crystallizes everything from cars to clothes, to cellphone cases and everything in between.  However, her artistic ability is really what makes her work unbelievable.  She actually showed me an IPAD case she was working on for a customer with Johnny Dep as The Joker, completely in crystals.  It was breathtaking!


These are a few of her designs:

The Easiest Crystal Party Decoration Ever!

When I found out about the Beadelle Crystal Buckles on glitterize.com, I was so excited! I loved the heart-shaped one and thought it was the perfect romantic crystal decoration.  However, I’m not the most romantic person, so I went on and decided to purchase the large 73mm Round Buckle in Silver with Crystal Stones.

I originally planned on using them to design some chair covers for my friends wedding shower.  But as I began to play with them I started throwing them on everything! That’s how I ended up using my crystal buckles as napkin holders, and I thought it really came out stunning!

These buckles are the easiest way to add a little sparkle or bling to your event!
