Swarovski Strass Crystal:Regarded by leaders in the industry as the finest crystal in the world, Strass crystals are acclaimed for possessing the highest levels of both clarity and internal flawlessness. Possessing a lead content that exceeds 30%, each Strass crystal is first cut by a machine to ensure that each facet meets precisely at one focal point to achieve optimum refraction and produce an optically pure prism. After machining, each crystal is hand polished and given an invisible optical coating that not only makes it easier to clean and maintain, but actually repels dust partials. To ensure buyer protection, each Strass crystal is laser etched with the official Swarovski Strass logo.
Swarovski Strass Crystals in Fashion Colors: Almost as famous for their innovation as they are for their crystals, Swarovski has taken their renowned Strass crystals and has added color options using a technique that does not degrade the look or finish of the crystal, but actually enhances the existing faceting, clarity, and shape. Featuring over 15 different color choices, Swarovski makes it possible to match and compliment your exsisting color palette and still dress your crystal light fixture with the highest quality of crystals.
Swarovski Spectra Crystal: Manufactured in Austria by Swarovski, Spectra crystals offer an affordable Swarovski crystal option. Each Swarovski Spectra crystal is created and cut in a process similar to the Strass crystals. However, Spectra crystals are differentiated from Strass crystals as they are not made with lead, do not come with an optical coating, and are available in different shapes and sizes.
Precision Crystal: Laser cut and machined polished, Precision crystals are manufactured with a lead content level of 30% or more. Using only the highest quality precision cutting machines, each crystal is cut for optimal light dispersion and clarity.

The heart of every crystal chandelier or crystal adorned light fixture is the crystal itself. Each crystal represents the difference between choosing a light fixture of heirloom quality that completes the room or one that lacks warmth and will soon become just part of a room. Since the significant cost of a crystal chandelier is in the quality of the crystals that will adorn it, understanding the different types and shapes of crystals is necessary. When selecting your crystal options, consider that the type or grade of a crystal determines the clarity, color density, and light dispersion. To help with your selection of crystal grades, the most popular options are listed below.
The lighting fixtures in your foyer give guests a first impression of the interior design of your home. Therefore, they should be chosen carefully and placed appropriately.
