| This is an
excellent choice for the bride with a limited budget. These
crystal strands will give you an excellent look for the price. They
also have a string connection which makes it VERY EASY to cut them
to your desired length. NOTE Without a light source, (either natural or artificial) even the most expensive crystals will not sparkle. Mini spotlights or larger flood lighting is recommended. |
Honestly,
except for the weight, at a distance it is nearly impossible tell
the acrylics from the glass link strands. I have put both
acrylic and glass link strands on a tree and people cannot tell the
difference between the two. NOTE Without a light source, (either natural or artificial) even the most expensive crystals will not sparkle. Mini spotlights or larger flood lighting is recommended. |
This is a
beautiful product and if you do not have any budget constraints --
go for it. They are beautiful and will fill your room with
sparkle. NOTE Without a light source, (either natural or artificial) even the most expensive crystals will not sparkle. Mini spotlights or larger flood lighting is recommended. |
Well, we
all know that these are the best. NOTE Without a light source, (either natural or artificial) even the most expensive crystals will not sparkle. Mini spotlights or larger flood lighting is recommended. |

The acrylic crystals sold on this website are seamless and guaranteed to be clear and full of sparkles and cut to resemble more expensive glass cut crystals. | Crystal refers to glass, which because of its manufacturing process and superior qualities, is more expensive than ordinary glass. Nowadays because of their higher efficiency and precision, machines are used to cut crystal into complex, faceted crystals to be used for jewelry and other decorative items. | In 1892, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut jewelry stones perfectly. In 1895, he moved his company, known as Swarovski, from Bohemia to the Wattens, Austria where he used the Rhine River as a source of energy to run the company’s machinery. From here the name “Rhinestone” was born. Today the word “rhinestone” is used for crystal coming from any country. Swarovski & Austrian crystals are set apart from other types because of their unique cutting and polishing process. |
