Swarovski, not just jewelry

Last week I went to see the crown exhibition of Shangmei with a friend. After watching it, I asked her how it was. She joked, 'It's good, all the beauty I can't afford in my life. Come and see, just as a preparation for reincarnation into a wealthy family in the next life~' So I'm going to see some of the beauty that I can enjoy in this life - Swarovski. The one I admired in my childhood, despised in college, and understood after work... jewelry? When I was a child, I felt that anything with 'Swarovski' would instantly turn from a little swallow into a pearl princess - a 10 yuan ballpoint pen, the pen case inlaid with a Swarovski crystal could immediately increase its value by more than ten times. When I went to study in France in college, I chose a dazzling crystal necklace at Printemps on the first weekend. Wearing it, I felt like that ballpoint pen, my value doubled. But this illusion was broken by a classmate's words within a month, 'Ah~ Swarovski is artificial crystal, it's not worth money.' Because of this sentence, I no longer yearn for Swarovski. Because it's man-made, it's cheap, it can't enhance my value. But after work, I found that the value of this kind of thing is not something that can be enhanced by a piece of expensive jewelry. My background seems to have determined my ending. If I want to have a bright life, it seems that I can only rely on reincarnation. And in this exhibition, I saw the 'artificial crystals' that I thought were cheap appearing in classic movies, in Gautier's designs, in colorful jewelry. Appearing in the legendary dress... Its origin does not limit its origin, but allows it to leave footprints in all imaginable fields. After watching it, I have some more expectations for this hopeless life. It may not be expensive jewelry, but it has realized the possibilities that expensive jewelry may not be able to achieve. It was born cheap, but it is still the highlight on this earth.
