The Daniel Swarovski company of Austria was founded in 1895. Swarovski is #1 at making beautiful crystal in many forms! You may be familiar with the Swarovski Silver Crystal figurines. The silver crystal received it's named due to its brilliance, silvery sheen, & shimmer when held up to light. Interestingly, Crystals are not made with silver, they are made with lead. The addition of lead to the purist of glass in the manufacturing process, increases clarity and brilliance. This results in the dazzling gem known as a crystal. Swarovski crystals are crafted of the same purest crystal available. The superior quality of the cutting and polishing of crystal pieces has made Swarovski a world leader in the production of beautiful crystal. This is why Swarovski crystal s are a favorite choice for special occasion jewelry, especially bridal jewelry, or wedding jewelry. And with the huge array of crystal colors available, the possibilities are endless. Many brides today are wanting to add just a touch of color with a white dress, but don't want a heavy, bulky gem to achieve this touch of color. With a Swarovski crystal you can simply add a light rose drop on a clear crystal necklace to give just a slight, sweet shimmer of color, not enough to distract but just enough to sparkle. Swarovski crystals...in every color under the rainbow...and then some~
