What are Swarovski ® Crystal Rhinestones?
The story of rhinestones began in Austria in the 1890’s when Daniel Swarovski invented a machine for cutting crystal with a precision and speed that far surpassed the hand-cutting of local artisans like his father. It took nine years to invent the machine; when he filed the patent, it began a new era in crystals. Swarovski is the name of the company founded by Daniel Swarovski that still produces the highest quality rhinestone products in the world. The rhinestones produced by the company have a higher lead content and more precise cut to produce a stone that reflects light at precise angles, thus producing the greatest reflection. That is why at sassycaps.com, WE ONLY USE GENUINE Swarovski® Crystal Rhinestones!
