So what are Swarovski Pearls?

In order to produce stunning results at a fraction of the normal cost I often use Swaorvski Pearls instead of their cultured or freshwater swankier relatives. I will ALWAYS detail this information in an item's description. All items made with Swarovski Pearls can be ordered by commission with cultured or freshwater pearls.

So what are Swarovski Pearls?

Swarovski's crystal faux pearls have a leaded crystal centre that gives them the weight of natural pearls. This means that they hang and drape just like their underwater cousins, and do not look cheap and plastiky like many of the faux pearls available in trendy stores. The core is then covered by layers of a man made nacre for a shell that is nearly identical natural pearls.

Because they are man-made and laboratory controlled, Swarovki pearls have a beautiful and consistent natural colour and luster. they are also available at a reasonable price in a variety of colours and sizes not easily available in cultured and freshwater pearls.

Swarovski pearls warm to the skin just like their more expensive cousins, however that is where the similarities end. Unlike cultured pearls they are also resistant to perspiration, UV rays, perfumes, scratches and gentle washing. This makes them an excellent choice for fashion jewelery, people with sensitive skin, and people who are particularly hard on their jewelery. They can be worn while swimming (for that oh so chic swimsuit and pearls look), and can be stored in a glove box for those "pearls and a ponytail" moments.

Swarovski Crystal Pearls are available in 4 shapes, numerous sizes, and over 20 different colours.
