PureCrystal and Swarovski crystals, made in Europe, are distinguished by their superior quality and a wide range of colors, including classic and exclusive shades such as Reinvented Cool Blue, which uses 50% recycled glass. Their brilliance is enhanced by a variety of effects, such as the AB effect and the Shimmer effect, enabling you to create unique, dazzling jewels for all your DIY projects.
Crystals come in a multitude of shapes and sizes, as well as beautiful colors and unique effects. The facets of cut crystal play with the light and reflect a dazzling brilliance. Modern or classic, they're perfect for creating brilliant, delicate DIY costume jewelry.
Here's a quick summary of the colors and effects of Swarovski crystal and PureCrystal crystal:
The classic color and effect range of PureCrystal and Swarovski crystals includes all the classic jewelry colors. Existing colors can be used to create original combinations rich in nuance.
The range of exclusive colors and effects is offered exclusively by PureCrystal. Each color, developed in cooperation with international fashion agencies, bears the inimitable seal of PureCrystal quality and creativity.
Have you heard of Reinvented Cool Blue or Swarovski ReCreated Caribbean Green? These are exclusive shades that can be applied to different crystal shapes, just like Crystal Bronze Effect or ReCreated Light Smoked Topaz.
Classic crystals have a foiled back, i.e. a silver or gold foil has been applied to the back of the crystal to act as a mirror and enhance the crystal's brilliance.
If the crystals have no foil, they are said to have an unfoiled back, i.e. the light simply passes through the crystal.
Spray coating processes produce a special or translucent surface effect, depending on the methods used. This process can be applied to crystal-colored or colored components.
| Effects | Features | Overview |
The AB effect | TheAB effect is a surface effect, i.e. the coating is sprayed onto the crystal surface. It is the most widely used effect. The letters AB stand for aurora borealis, giving a rainbow reflection across the entire crystal surface. The AB effect is also available as the AB 2X effect, i.e. two sides of the crystal are treated with this effect. |  |
Patina effect | This is a partial coating of the corresponding modified effects. |  |
The Shimmer effect | TheShimmer effect is the evolution of the ABeffect you already know. It's even shinier and more light-reflecting. Glamorous and elegant, it blends a futuristic glow with bold crystal colors, responding magnificently to current demand. As with the AB effect, the Shimmer effect is also available as the Shimmer AB 2X effect. |  |
The Ignite effect | This is a crystal without a foil on the back. Their brilliance has been increased to highlight their vibrant sparkle, while still allowing open settings. The crystal's color is therefore as intense as that of a classic crystal. The facets on the back are highlighted, producing an intense sparkle on the front. |  |
The Delite effect | This is an intense, luminous color effect with increased brilliance, often combined with bright pastel shades. |  |
Metallic effect | This is a surface effect applied to give a shiny, intense metallic appearance. |  |
