Fashionistas will adore the instant glamour of this star outlined with a kiss of blue and white Swarovski crystals. Down to the baby sterling silver star accent, hugged by the crystal-set point of the star, this pendant is fun and flirtatious. This sterling silver and Swarovski crystal star pendant is especially significant to the Paris Hilton Collection. Pariss nickname as a little girl was "Star" and she created this piece so every starstruck girl could make it her own. Each piece in the Paris Hilton Collection includes a special certificate of authenticity autographed by Paris.
This piece needs only a simple and fun backdrop to shine. Slide into your favorite slinky tank top or even a sheer fitted tee, and dab on some lip gloss, but leave most of the sparkle to the star pendant.
Now for the details: the open star contains the finest Swarovski crystals set in sterling silver. In the 19th century, Daniel Swarovski invented a cutting machine and perfected the practice of cutting crystal. Today the Swarovski company makes crystal gemstones in an extensive range of shapes, sizes, and colors for jewelry and fashion design. From sapphire, to light sapphire, to aquamarine and white, each crystal glows and is set securely in the silver. The pendant measures 1-1/2 inches and the width of the stone setting is 1/6 inch. It hangs from a 17-inch light-blue satin cord. The necklace is fastened with a silver lobster-claw clasp.
