Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead to maximize refraction.
In order to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical coatings. Aurora Borealis, or "AB", is one of the most popular coatings, and gives the surface a rainbow oil slick appearance. Other coatings include Crystal Transmission, Volcano, Aurum, and Dorado.
Lead crystal beads
Lead crystal beads (also known as machine cut crystal) are cut crystal beads made with hi-tech precise machinery. Thanks to this state of the art machine cut processing the crystal items achieve outstanding geometry and excellent optical parameters. Many lead crystal beads are enhanced with surface coatings. Aurora Borealis, or AB, is a very common surface coating that diffuses light into a rainbow. Other common surface coatings are vitrail, moonlight, dorado, satin, star shine, heliotrope.
Swarovski along with Preciosa branded crystal beads are prized by jewelers and hobbyists. They are a high-lead content crystal although today production of lead-free crystal is common. Lead crystals have an incredible sparkle and clarity, and are often multi-faceted to resemble gemstones. Styles and colors go in and out of production, so vintage cuts and colors are often prized with a similarly associated price tag. Swarovski along with Preciosa bicones are the most popular crystal beads in various sizes.
Swarovski Pearls
What could you create if you could use the finest, most magnificent manufactured pearls in all the world? Start thinking about it, because those pearls are here ~ crystal pearls from Swarovski. Why are they called 'crystal' pearls? It is because they have a heart of an actual crystal bead that has been finished with layers of highly luminous pearlescence. The result is the look of a fine South-Seas pearl, the look that will make your jewelry into timeless heirlooms.
