We use only Swarovski™ crystal in our
hand-crafted wedding
jewelry pieces. |
| The Swarovski™ crystal
bead company uses only high lead content crystal glass,
typically a full thirty-two percent of the glass is lead
and lead oxide. The presence of the lead increases the
index of refraction (ability to bend light), bringing it
closer to that of a diamond. The sparkle comes from
light bouncing off internal surfaces in the lead
crystal. Precision glass cutting causes the light to
reflect internally. This internal reflection results in
sparkle as the glass is tilted, adding to its beauty and
to the beauty of your jewelry. Swarovski™ crystal has
the most attractive sparkle is recognized as the
premiere crystal to use in jewelry-making. |
|
| During the 1950's,
Swarovski™ made advances in the development of its
crystal production. Swarovski™ experimented with
manufacturing processes in which the stones were coated
with wafer thin metal particles in order to increase
their sparkle. This process required the material to be
steamed in a vacuum. In 1956, Manfred Swarovski -
the grandson of the company's founder - created the
"Aurora Borealis (AB)" affect which shimmered in every
color of the rainbow. |
| To this day,
Swarovski™ continues to demand the highest possible
quality of their crystal products to distinguish
themselves from the rest of the market. Swarovski™
are incredibly secretive about their processes - even
their manufacturing workers do not see what other
workers are doing so that they cannot share any secrets. |
