Metals vs. Crystals

First Article_2

Many people definitely want to know what kind of materials are those jewelries besides crystals. Therefore, today I am going to introduce you the materials of Swarovski.

First of all, it is pearls. For the Swarovski, it is famous by crystals. Therefore, it is unfaceted crystal core inside the middle of pearls with pearl coating outside. This sounds like the pearls from Swarovski are not real or nature. However, there is not much real or nature pearls in the world. Those pearls must be artificial or not nature. Therefore, Swarovski has the perfect imitation of genuine pearls which is a unique technology developed by Swarovski. The technology is the first worldwide to combine a crystal core with an evenly applied innovative pearl coating.

Secondly, it is those earrings, rings, and so on. They are all design in Paris and crystals are made in Tyrol, Austria. Most of the time, the first layer of those jewelries is cooper which seal in the base metal. The second layer is precious metal for protection. The further layers will be precious such as gold, rhodium, or some others. For gold, it is 22 ct (ROS=yellow gold 22 ct+ rose gold 18 ct). For the rode gold, Swarovski uses pale yellow rose gold. The main characteristics for the gold is it is lustrous, bright, and attractive and does not tarnish. For the silver, it is white and lustrous. The iconic Nirvana ring has an inner ring out of silver alloy.

Gold

Finally, Swarovski also has men`s jewelries as well. For men`s jewelries. It is stainless steel without plated. It is robust and resistant to corrosion and heat which is perfectly suit to men, because men like to do exercise and also will sweat more than women. Therefore, stainless steel with resistant to corrosion and heat is always the first choice for men`s jewelries. Finally, it is anti-nickel allergenic.
