Crystalbeads

Faceted beads made of high quality crystal glass

Crystal glass (greek: krystallos = ice) is a special sort of high quality glass which is made by mixing metal oxydes i. e. lead oxyde with the base glass. The content of metal has a positive influence on the light refraction which makes the crystal glass sparkling. A famous producer is Swarovski from Austria who keeps the contents of his products as a well kept secret.
