Strass Crystal: Absolute perfection
Considered the finest crystal in the world. Strass is
manufactured by Swarovski AG in the Austrian Alps. Strass
is an optically pure crystal, clear as spring water,
totally free of flaws, unique in purity and brilliance.
Strass crystal is characterized by razor-sharp cutting
of facets with the lead content in excess of 30 percent.
Cutting and polishing are done by machine to achieve
perfect optical clarity. Strass crystals are treated
with an invisible coating, which eliminates dust attraction
and makes it easier to clean and maintain.

of traditionalists

methods go back centuries. If you look closely you will
notice faint traces of the wood-wheel attesting to the
concentrated labor of the artisan. This is a mark of
authenticity. Each piece is a unique and original masterpiece.

style
Fashion is the inspiration for this new pale shade of
crystal. The subtle, faintly iridescent color is the
new highly received chic crystal color. From traditional
to contemporary, the mirror-like tones that coat the
Silver Shade Strass Crystal help these Collections coordinate
with any decor. Silver Shade Strass is authentic Swarovski
Strass crystal. Every Strass Silver Shade crystal carries
the Strass emblem which guarantees the optical pure
quality.
(I) Italian Crystal: Venetian heritage
Venetian crystal (from the glass-making regions in and
around Venice ) is molded, not cut. You will notice
a rounding of edges that comes from fire polishing.
Molded crystal though never as brilliant as cut crystal,
has a subtle charm and is an exceptional value. It is
an ideal budget crystal for heavily dressed and/or commercially
oriented chandeliers.
