Questions About Swarovski Crystal Chandeliers
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Swarovski has discontinued its loose crystals sold as craft and jewelry-making supplies. They are no longer available for purchase as of summer 2021. However, Swarovski continues to manufacture crystal jewelry and decorative objects. You'll find a selection of Swarovski crystal jewelry and art on 1stDibs.
- Are Swarovski crystals valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024When loose, Swarovski crystals are generally not valuable, especially when compared to precious gemstones. However, some Swarovski jewelry and decorative accents are valuable because they appeal to collectors. For example, there is generally a market for some limited-edition Swarovski figurines. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can help you determine the value of a specific Swarovski piece. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects.
- Is Swarovski real crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022While Swarovski crystals aren’t naturally occurring, they are lead glass crystals made in the tradition of leaded glass with additives, including lead, to create their finished gemstone-like appearance. This would mean that they’re not actual gemstones but they are real crystal glass. Shop a collection of Swarovski from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Yes, Givenchy does use Swarovski crystals in some jewelry designs. However, the French luxury fashion house also produces jewelry featuring glass rhinestones instead of the Austrian maker's crystal. Other common materials include faux pearls and plated metal. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Givenchy jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Yes, Swarovski uses real crystals. However, the stones in Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects are not naturally occurring. Crystal refers to man-made glass that features a hardening agent. Swarovski is well known for producing high-quality crystals with tremendous sparkle. Shop a collection of Swarovski pieces from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 18, 2024Whether Swarovski crystal is worth anything varies from piece to piece. Factors such as the brand's enduring legacy, its marquee collaborations with luxury houses and unique craftsmanship with respect to its precision-cut crystal glass objects are particularly alluring to collectors.
Swarovski jewelry is widely loved by a range of celebrities, models and influencers, while the company’s figurines and other decorative objects are highly sought after among collectors and have increased in value as a result.
Rarity is frequently important when it comes to collectibles. Typically, the most valuable Swarovski pieces are figurines and other objects created for the brand's limited edition collections. Age and condition also impact how much a particular piece is worth. To get an estimate of the value of your Swarovski jewelry or figurines, consult a knowledgeable appraiser or antiques dealer.
On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage Swarovski jewelry.] - 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024Whether real Swarovski crystals are expensive is a matter of opinion. Due to their quality and the long heritage of the Austrian crystal maker, Swarovski crystals do tend to sell for more than pieces crafted by some competitors. However, the crystals may be less expensive than most gemstones. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Swarovski pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Swarovski crystals are man-made, not natural. However, that is not unique to crystalware. Crystal glass is not a naturally occurring substance and instead is produced by adding an oxide of silica, lead, antimony or another element to glass. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To date chandelier crystals, hold them up to the light and look for acid marks. If you find one, use an authoritative online resource to research the mark and identify the manufacturer. You can then estimate the age based on the style of the crystal. If you can't find a mark, take the crystal to a licensed appraiser for a professional evaluation. Shop a selection of expertly vetted antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What the crystals on chandeliers are called are pendalogues. Makers adorn their chandeliers with pendalogues in an array of shapes and sizes. Some chandeliers may also feature crystal bead chains, crystal candle bobeches and other decorative accents. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of chandeliers from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a glass chandelier and a crystal chandelier is in the materials used to produce the light fixtures. Glass chandeliers are made of glass, a hard, brittle material made by melting together a combination of substances, such as sand, soda ash and limestone. When you add lead to these ingredients, you get crystal, a heavier material that can produce a reflective, sparkling effect when cut. Shop a diverse assortment of glass and crystal chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes. Crystal chandeliers are still in style and can be found embellishing any room in the home. Crystal chandeliers come in many different shapes and sizes and can be very simple or highly decorative. Shop a selection of vintage and modern crystal chandeliers from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The hanging crystals on a chandelier are called pendalogues, sometimes spelled pendeloques. They can also be referred to simply as prisms. Shop a wide variety of chandelier prisms and pendalogues from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can spot a real crystal chandelier by checking a few things with the crystal glass itself. First, feel the weight. Crystal is made with lead and will be heavier than glass. Next, the clearer the piece, the more likely it is crystal. And finally, hold the crystal up to light. Light will pass through glass as clear, but crystal refracts the light into rainbows of light. Shop a selection of chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, chandeliers made from real crystal contain lead. That is because authentic crystal is glass made with lead oxide. The presence of lead gives crystal its sparkling effect. You'll find a selection of crystal chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
