Here are some of the most FAQ we get from our customers and their answers:
HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THE CRYSTALS I BUY ARE GENUINE SWAROVSKI? Swarovski® crystal components are generally regarded as the finest machine-cut beads in the world. Swarovski® include a special compound which give their beads their own famous brilliance. Swarovski® have no bubbles inside.
The Swarovski® AB finish crystals have a smooth uniform coating: there are no swirl marks Swarovski® crystals are perfectly uniform. As they are computerized machine-cut, every crystal of the same design is identical: same height, slope and width.
With so many crystal beads and components out there, how can you tell if the crystal you are purchasing is actually a Swarovski® crystal component....or an imitation?
Here are some tips that can help you determine which crystals are real:
1. Swarovski® crystals are generally not strung when offered for sale.
2. Swarovski® crystals are perfectly uniform. Since they are machine cut, each crystal is the same. This means that the height, width and slope are consistent. A hand polished imitator bead will not have as uniform a cut. You may also notice different dimensions from bead to bead.
3. The precision cutting of Swarovski® machinery allows each crystal to have its facet juncture "pointing up". This means the facet junctures all meet at precisely the same point.
4. AB finish Swarovski® crystals have a uniform surface luster. There are no swirling marks from the vacuum process that produces the AB finish, and generally there are no scratches. The "imitations" often have scratches, swirl marks ("oily" looking surface). Some of these imperfections, in the "imposters", have to do with the lower quality of the finish
5. Because of its special glass compounds, Swarovski® crystal will out-sparkle a bead of lesser quality when placed in a side-by-side comparison.
