Are Swarovski crystals natural or man-made?

1 Answer
Are Swarovski crystals natural or man-made?
Swarovski crystals are man-made, not natural. However, that is not unique to crystalware. Crystal glass is not a naturally occurring substance and instead is produced by adding an oxide of silica, lead, antimony or another element to glass. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top dealers.
