what is a collectible?

A "collectible" is typically a manufactured item rather than a natural item such as "butterflies" or "rocks". Some objects designed for other purposes, such as toys or stamps, become so popular among collectors that they are later marketed specifically to that audience. The high price for certain action figures is a good example of this phenomenon since the figures were originally intended to be purchased as toys rather than collectibles. While some valuable collectibles were designed for people to collect and others were designed for other purposes, the chief reason people collect items is for their personal enjoyment.

Like many other collectibles, our items are not manufactured by Swarovski, but are lavishly inlaid with Swarovski crystals. Our collectibles are meticulously crafted from fine Pewter. Many are then coated or detailed in 24 Karat Gold. Next, each of our items is hand enameled and set with Swarovski crystals. Each collection is issued in a limited edition and will become a valuable keepsake to those who possess them for years to come. A manufacturer's Certificate of Authenticity is included with each item.
Discovered in 1676, Lead Crystal, (also called crystal), is lead glass that has been faceted with light reflecting cuts, either by hand or by machine. Lead crystal retains a much higher index of refraction than normal glass, because lead oxide has been added to it during the molten state. This gives it a much better "sparkle". The most sparkling crystal may consist of up to 35% lead. The higher lead content also makes it much more difficult to form the crystals during manufacturing, and consequently, makes them more expensive.

It is commonly held that Swarovski (Austrian) Crystals are the finest quality, lead crystals made today. These crystals are faceted with tremendous precision, creating beautiful prisms. Brilliant colors and/or coatings are added to these crystals to create dazzling beauty and tremendous variety of shapes and sizes. Many manufacturers set their designs with Swarovski Crystals due to their unmatched quality and distinction. Our collectibles are proudly set with these crystals.
Swarovski beads and crystals are pricey because of their quality and because the company controls how much material is released for sale. Swarovski has been in production for over 100 years. Swarovski dominates the market by controlling output, while delivering an extraordinary product.
