There are those who do not even know the difference between the two but according to the experts in Swarovski crystal, the strass is considered to be the highest quality of crystals which only has 32-per cent lead and have eight rows of facets. In determining an original Swarovski Strass crystal, its code usually starts with the number 9 and is twice as expensive as Spectra in terms of price.
