What is the difference between Swarovski crystal and Czech crystal?
Swarovski crystal is the finest crystal made. The clarity, color, and variety are exceptional. It is an expensive bead and well worth the price to create exquisite jewelry! Made in Austria. Czech crystal is a more cost effective crystal to use, giving up some of the clarity that Swarovski provides, although the items we have chosen to sell are an excellent alternative to Swarovski. Made in the Czech Republic.
