Hi there - I'd pay you money to re-make this video... in 4K resolution from your phone would be fine... people really need to know their crystal differences with Swarovski... like what spectra vs strass vs 'crystals by swarovski' vs hand cut vs rock crystal.... and why the prices are different. I'd sort by price but then end with 'by quality of light refraction' because in my opinion the hand cut and rock crystals are more expensive most of the time, but 'crystals by swarovski' is best by far. I think that replaced strass btw? Even I don't know and I'm probably one of the largest (or the largest) private non-estate collector of Swarovski in the US, if not the world.

I will take leaded rock crystals every day! I am guessing the colored crystals are made using elemental gas and heat with pressure.

Between the Spectra and Elements (as well as Golden Shadow), can most people tell the difference? In other words, are they visibly different enough in terms of sparks? Thanks much.

Yes, very much so. You can tell right away by the cut on each piece and by the way the light refracts overall.

Can you please explain the strass range. I believe these are leaded compared to the spectra. Is the strass different from elements?

Most people can’t tell the difference between Swarovski strass and Chinese k9 crystal the price difference is huge .

I think Strass is gone, replaced with "Crystals by Swarovski" when looking at trims online. Even I'm confused, and I'm quite the collector.

@@kef103 True... however, many people are also buying the fixture design in addition to the crystal trim. I'll have to look into K9 as I thought that they were rating on an A-F system, lately on alibaba I've seen AAA+ crystals but haven't seen a K rating... I haven't looked much so I'm in no way an expert... but I'm probably one of the world's biggest private collectors of Swarovski / Schonbek lighting fixtures.

I think he’s wrong I think strass was leaded and elements replaced strass and is lead free and supposedly same clarity.

@Kef103 Yes you are. That’s is of Swarovski not Schonbek. They have a standard in crystal. Like, Spectra Crystal Clear (A) made up of Potassium and zero lead and Crystal from Swarovski Clear (S) the Strass also known as Swarovski Element with >30% lead.

He is just liking all the comments. He isn't reading any of them. :p Btw these crystals look fake. But that might be the quality.
