Swarovski crystals capture us with their brilliance, but they’re not quite diamonds… Definitely no, and the price says this up-front. Let’s not discredit them so easily because they make for great luxurious jewelry and are used all over the world. Even so, the price versus quality appears to be quite fair.

Swarovski is the biggest and most renowned crystal producing company, promoting its fantasy and style for more than 100 years.The jewelry and accessory collections have high design and quality standards. The multi-facet crystals come in various shapes and colors.

One rof the biggest accomplishment was the creation of a green crystal “Swarogreen” that is considered a substitute for the emerald. The strength and refraction properties make it a great synthetic alternative to emerald. The common metal used for their jewelry settings is rhodium plated steel.

The Swarovski creations entered the haute-couture world by decorating bags, shoes and dresses of famous designers.
