purchasing Swarovski crystal accessories,
here are a few FAQs about Swarovski crystal that will give you an insight into
the brand and quality of the gems!
What is Swarovski Crystal?
§ Swarovski
crystals are man –made gems precision-cut by a machine to showcase high quality
lead glass crystals using quartz, sand and minerals. The manufacturing process
is a family secret of the Swarovski family and ensures the highest level of
precision when it comes to the cut of the crystals.
Who is Swarovski?

glass cutting machine that he used to custom cut pieces of crystal glass. The
business is now owned by the 5th generation and has more than 25,000
employees to date.
Why are Swarovski crystals more expensive?
§ Cutting
each crystal and gem in a way that reflects light and gives a 3D affect is
controlled by extremely complex machinery. Each piece is cut to perfection and
checked by the human eye for inconsistencies.
How can I tell if my Swarovski crystal is real?

are not genuine, if they are not exactly the same cut. This is a telltale sign
that they are imitation since Swarovski crystals are made with the specific
machine that crafts each glass piece to perfection.
