Developed in 15th century Murano Italy millifiori stands for 1000 flowers. Long glass rods are formed into flowers then sliced and melded together. Swarovski (Austrian) Crystal is considered by many people to be the finest quality, full-lead crystal made today. It contains a minimum of 32%PbO, making the crystal optically very pure. The crystal is then faceted with tremendous precision, creating beautiful prisms. Brilliant colors and/or coatings are added to these crystals to create pendants, stones, and beads of dazzling beauty and tremendous variety of shapes and sizes. Swarovski Crystal is unmatched in quality and distinction. Swarovski beads are made in a factory in Wattens, Austria. Swarovski crystal beads are created using a formula perfected by Daniel Swarovski and his three sons at the turn of the 20th century. All Swarovski crystal beads are fired using a combination of quartz sand and natural minerals, then cooled slowly to avoid causing stress to the crystals. The high percentage of lead in all Swarovski crystal beads (32% compared to competitors 20%) as well as the secret manufacturing process produces high quality Swarovski crystal beads with a diamond like brilliance. AB- Aurora Borealis is a coating that gives the crystal a rainbow sparkle effect, it was inspired by the Northern Lights.
