Austrian crystal is man-made, essentially a creative cutting of hand-blown glass into every imaginable form of adornment. Swarovski's three sons have continued with the family business, branching out into everything from chandeliers to watches to computer parts to rhinestones and glass beads. What makes a Swarovski crystal unique is its composition. By adding 32 percent lead to the molten glass (a mix arrived at after considerable experimentation), Swarovski imbued his Austrian crystal with a high refraction rate. Later, he developed different chemical coatings to enhance color and sparkle. |
