About Swarovski Crystals and Strass Etched Logos Choose Swarovski Crystals when you want the best! They will outshine the cheaper crystals and you will love the sparkle. What is AB beads? (Aurora Borealis) and it's one of the most popular Swarovski® crystal coatings. It gives off a beautiful shimmering rainbow, or mother-of-pearl effect. These special coatings are bonded chemically to the outer surface of the Swarovski® crystals for a more brilliant effect. Swarovski Crystals are made in Austria. Swarovski makes two brands, Swarovski Strass, Spectra is the other brand and is lead free. Both brands make excellent rainbows due to the index of refraction and the angles they are cut. Swarovski Crystals are known throughout the world for their brilliance and for their famous figurines. The crystals are used in chandeliers', jewelry and other things. I love making things with the crystals.

How I make the Rainbow Suncatchers three round Swarovski Crystal balls on the top will change from Suncatcher to Suncatcher the middle round crystal will always be clear, but the small round crystal beads and large round crystal beads will be sometimes different. Unique and one of kind your suncatcher is made especially for as soon as you order it, they are not made up ahead of time. 13 beads in the center resemble the colors of the rainbow and swirl around and around with the focal point at the bottom and three round beads at the top. Each Suncatcher is strung on Stern Fishing line with a metal hook. Hang them in a sunny window and watch the rainbows across your room. It's amazing and fun. You can't stop gazing! The kids will love them and so will you! You can alternately have your suncatcher made to hang in your car and I use a strong professional silver pearl beading wire with a hook to hang them in the rearview mirror. The center beads are one holed Lilly Octagons used in Chandeliers and other things too and they are also Swarovski logo etched. One needs a jewelers loop to find the logo in Lilly Octagons especially the darker ones, but the logos are there. I may use the following colors to make up the rainbow in the suncatchers and are as follows perhaps Antique Green AB which is Aurora Borealis and is one of the most popular Swarovski® crystal coatings. It gives off a beautiful shimmering rainbow, or mother-of-pearl effect. These special coatings are bonded chemically to the outer surface of the Swarovski® crystals for a more brilliant effect, next is Bordeaux red, dark topaz gold, light topaz, sapphire blue, rosalin pink and emerald green, blue violet purple and other purple colors and also rosalin pink. I also have other color Lilly Octagons, but are not used in the Rainbow Suncatchers, peridot green and clear beads.
These are the colors of the 1 hole beads I use to make the Rainbow Suncatchers. If you prefer one or two colors you can choose from the available colors here and write this in the box while ordering your suncatcher.
Each Suncatcher comes in a Cute Organza Drawstring Bag and is gift boxed. I also put them in a sturdy shipping box and send them off to you, to bring you many rainbows.
