We advise against getting Swarovski pearls wet, as the coatings (AB, Shimmer, Ignite) can be altered by water and chemicals. Keep your jewelry away from moisture and direct light when not in use.
The 5000 round pearl is, as its name suggests, round. It is faceted all over, with a through hole in the center, ideal for stringing and necklaces. The 5328 (bicone) spinning top is Swarovski's most iconic shape, with two points and a faceted edge, perfect for stretch bracelets or bead weaving.
