Jewelry trend: 20 crystal jewelry to make yourself

Crystal jewelry is this year's jewelry trend! Their colors and sparkle leave no one indifferent. It lights up our lives and makes our jewels sparkle. And yet, some of us don't dare wear them because we find them too expensive, too haute couture, too flashy...
Don't be too quick to judge! Although crystal jewelry sometimes has the reputation of being too bling-bling, in reality, it goes with every look: chic, sparkling, refined, daring.... it's the dapper touch to an outfit that's a little too conservative, it lends a quirky spirit to streetwear, or adds glamour to a rock look.

What's more, there's something to suit every taste and style: from small, gem-like crystals for those who like a chic, understated look, to imposing crystals for those who dare, and colored crystals to give our DIY creations a touch of pizzazz. For those who are still hesitating, it's not too late to adopt them!

Here are our 20 must-have DIY crystal jewelry ideas for your jewelry box!

Which crystal jewel to choose?

• Fancy earrings with crystal settings are super-easy to make. What's more, you can play around with different crystal colors for a wow-factor!
• A multi-row bracelet. Another easy-to-make tutorial for a luminous result on your wrist.
• A crystal necklace that's elegant, ultra-minimalist and, above all, adjustable to the height you want. It's the perfect way to highlight small necklines.

• Original dangling earrings with crystals and freshwater beads that will leave no one indifferent. The soft, pearly hue of the freshwater pearls brings out the flamboyant color of the crystals.
• A wide crystal bracelet
• A crystal heart necklace with pearly beads. This heart pattern has been seen everywhere, on the catwalk, in the pages of magazines and on the street. While we often see it at the end of a chain or on a cord, at Perles & Co, we like it with pearly beads. And we're sure you'll love it too!
• An elastic crystal ring with Seed beads ideal for summer. A must-have that combines two of the year's trends: beaded rings and crystals.

• No-fuss, no-frills dangling ear rings with crystal hearts that accentuate the headpiece. You'll love their purity!
• An evening necklace with large crystal cabochons. Once again, the combination of freshwater pearls and crystals is a perfect match. It'll be dazzling with an evening outfit, but will also be a hit with a little blouse.
• A choker on one side and a back necklace on the other. Perfect if your evening gown reveals your back.

• Creoles with crystals of different sizes are super-simple to make, even for the most inexperienced beginner.
• Crystal rings are easy to make, even for beginners. Monochrome or multicolored? It's up to you to adapt them to your mood.
• Pendant earrings with bead chain and crystals for a glittering party or chic evening.
• A bangle bracelet with crystal hearts. Crystal hearts add a cute, delicate touch to this bangle bracelet. It's ideal to make several, in different colors, and wear it as a weekly bracelet.

Crystal jewelry can be found everywhere, as in brooches to pin on a scarf, dress, jacket or t-shirt to revive a classic look. For a more original style, hang it on a hat, bag, beret, scarf or use it to close the sides of a vest. And why not add a touch of whimsy to shirt collars, coat pockets or dress straps?

• Chewy fruit brooches like this cherry brooch or this pineapple brooch.
• A jewelry brooch in the shape of a cloud will add a touch of poetry.

Discreet and colorful, hair jewelry adds a touch of glamour to your look, while taming unruly hair.

• A crystal barrette is best worn in a half-tail, ponytail or on the side.
• A headband with crystals perfect for both short and long hair. This discreet version is so chic in the hair.
• A barrette comb with crystals to finish off a wedding hairstyle... but that's not all! By adapting the colors to suit your tastes and style, it could well enhance your everyday hairstyle. It's all about daring, so let's dare!
