OUGD505 Study Task 1


The Research theme i had chosen was Crystals, I decided to do crystals as recently I had received some Swarovski Jewellery as a gift but I had also watched the film blood diamond. This gave me the inspiration to research into these stones. Ive always heard of the brand Swarovski but never truly understood the fascination with expensive stones so I thought that this would be an interesting topic to have. Also after watching the film blood diamond emphasised why because that gave me an insight of how sought after stones such as diamonds were.
