SWAROVSKI ON Founded in the nineteenth century by Daniel Swarovski, the Austrian
firm, whose emblem is a crystal swan is now considered the world leader in cut
crystal. As king of the crystals, Swarovski invented an automatic crystal cuttin
g machine in the late nineteenth century and founded his company in 1895 in the
Austrian Tyrol, specifically in the village of Wattens, where the plant still. I
nterior decoration, accessories of mode, optical and jewelry are just a few sect
ors in which the house was able to diversify. His latest find is a scientist all
oy that allows for infinite color options and a better resistance to impact. Mad
e with the finest materials and carved with great precision, Swarovski crystals
have a diamond-like brilliance. The presence of lead (usually 32% of glass is le
ad and lead oxide) increases the refractive index, reaching a similarity with th
at of diamond. The brightness comes from the rebound effect of light on the inne
r surface of lead crystal. This is the reason for Swarovski's accounts are very
attractive luster and weight than other cheaper forms of glass. COLORS AND EFFEC

te Create Your Style EFFECTS There are no effects colors or pieces with a finish
achieved through a steaming process or bath. These baths can be lost over time
by rubbing or washing so it is recommended for jewelry and clothing that will no
t be washed. Accounts with an extra process have effects later and are therefore
more expensive. The effects on both sides are more expensive than if they only
apply to half of the piece. Keep in mind that the price increases by more comple
x process that is used and because the materials that vaporize the accounts are
expensive. In some cases, using gold, silver and other precious metals.
