Fashion trend
2014 has revealed women's love for sparkly stone more than ever. With a continuing trend of nature inspired jewelry, druzy is the perfect combination of bling and mother nature. Designs of jewelry range from

druzy rings.
Titanium Druzy
The druzy is exposed to a
gaseous environment (often containing titanium), which produces a rainbow spectrum of colors.
