I have always loved the sparkling rainbows created by prisms since  I was a little girl. My mother collected chandelier prisms from estate sales and hung them up long before crystal was in vogue.  I have collected the Swarovski annual ornaments for some years, so selling Swarovski prisms is a labor of love.


Swarovski/font> Prism Information

Swarovski has three product lines of crystal prisms or "Suncatchers".   The first two are Swarovski Strass and Spectra.  The third is simply referred to as Swarovski Lead Free Prisms.  Austrian Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead.  Full lead crystal must contain above 30% lead oxide content in order to be consider full lead crystal.  Swarovski Lead free prisms have all of the sparkle of their leaded partners owing to the fact that Swarovski uses all the minerals surrounding lead giving them the same effect.  Strass prisms are etched with the Swarovski water mark. The Spectra and Lead Free prisms are unmarked by logos but are the same Swarovski quality. 

                                    

Pictured above is the Swarovski logo used on the watermarked prisms.   This watermark is quite small and etched close to the stringing hole. You will need to hold it up to the light and look closely to find it.  This logo is currently used on the 8000 series prisms (Strass), but not on the Spectra or Lead Free.   The swan watermark is used on the figurine product lines only.   Prisms are purchased in trays and do not come with boxes or certificates from Swarovski. The additional boxes, certificates, and logos would increase the expense to produce, which Swarovski reserves for their figurine line.  Swarovski prisms are laser cut and not molded.   When you rub your finger over the hole it will feel sharp and not smooth.  There is no mistaking Swarovski prisms next to non-Swarovski, the sparkle is incomparable.


Ordering Information

My standard shipping method is Priority and Global Priority .  I package all prisms wrapped in tissue paper, inserted into an organza bag and that goes into a gift box lined with tissue and wrapped with a bow.  This guarantees safe delivery. 

I ship in Priority boxes and not flat rate envelopes which use much cheaper first class shipping.  Each and every prism is inspected prior to shipping to insure a flawless product.  If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase, feel free to return it for a full refund.   My prisms are brand new and genuine Swarovski Crystal delivered to you in pristine condition.
