What is Crystal?

Crystal - Shrouded in mystery with legendary powers, pure, sparkling crystal holds an irresistible fascination. This fascination has been witnessed by the worldwide success of our Crystal Gifts Collection...

  • Crystal is essentially a high quality form of glass produced with sand, potash and lead oxide. Lead content maximizes light refraction, brilliance and sharp faceting in crystal. Created from Austrian's finest 30% lead crystal. Lead adds weight and refractory characteristics but also softens the glass so it can be cut, etched and polished to a remarkable brilliance.

Tips for cleaning our Crystal

  • It is recommended that you wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.
  • Lay the pieces on soft cotton cloth
  • Do not use the cloth to clean pieces, it is used as a work area.
  • Do not use any commercial cleaners
  • Use lukewarm running water to loosen up dirt and grime
  • Use the toothpick only to loosen up debris from crevices.

General Care:
ALWAYS USE A SOFT CLEAN CLOTH.

  • Clean cotton T-shirt is ideal. Just 'huff' on your crystal, like when you polish your sunglasses. Polish your crystal by rubbing it from all angles. Each facet must be clean for your crystal to sparkle at its best. If your crystals are particularly dusty or greasy from kitchen fumes, you may use any Windex-like product that is NOT abrasive!

CRYSTALS CAN SCRATCH!

  • NEVER hang your crystals side by side, where they could 'clunk' or rub against each other. If you hang your crystals right against the surface of the window, be sure they are not in a place where they will swing or bump against the glass over and over. Your crystals can, in time, wear down and appear dull or scratched.
  • We recommend that you occasionally polish each piece with a soft lint-free cloth.

Displaying Your Crystal

  • To maximize the appearance of your crystal collection, we recommend that you display your pieces in an enclosed display case with sufficient direct light. By using an enclosed display case, you enhance the perception that you and others have of your crystal collection. This will also minimize breakage of your crystal and the time spent cleaning your collection. Small-unlit display cases should be placed somewhere in your home that will be in direct sunlight to increase the shine and brilliance of your crystal.
