About Swarovski Crystal
For over
a century, Swarovski has supplied the world with superior crystals that are
enjoyed and admired by millions worldwide. Founded in the mid 1890's, Daniel
Swarovski had invented a glass cutting machine and started the world's first
hydroelectric glass cutting factory. With this state of the art machinery,
Swarovski was able to produce their crystals using precise optical techniques
that no other competitor can duplicate even today. With their unique crystal
cutting techniques and their well patent machineries, Swarovski dominates the
full lead crystal market by holding on to approximately 70% of the market
share. Swarovski offers a wide range of colors and special coatings to meet the
needs of all occasions. Special coatings are bonded chemically to the outer
surface of the beads for a more brilliant effect. Aurora Borealis, better known
as "AB", is one of the more popular coatings that gives off a
rainbow-like effect. Crystal Transmission, Volcano, Aurum and Dorado are some
examples of special effect beads. The special effect and special coating of
each beads are permanent. Austrian Swarovski crystal also contains
approximately 32% lead. Full lead crystal must contain above 30% lead oxide
content in order to be consider full lead crystal.
