Swarovski crystals

Precision-cut leaded glass

Swarovski crystals are precision-cut glass crystals manufactured by the Austrian company Swarovski.

Known for exceptional clarity and brilliance, they're used in jewelry, fashion accessories, home décor, and ornaments.

Though sometimes called crystals, they're lead glass rather than natural crystal: Her dress was covered in Swarovski crystals.

The brand name has become nearly synonymous with high-end decorative glass.
