Compared to other types of crystals and gems, Swarovski crystals are made artificially, or simply man-made.

CERTIFICATION- Legitimate sellers of Swarovski jewellery pieces always have that certain edge over imitators through its original and official packaging and have a certificate of authentication from Swarovski Crystals itself.

If you bought a Swarovski crystal, always look for the laser engraved trapezoid-shaped logo that is etched inside the crystal itself, if there is none, it is a fake.
STRASS AND SPECTRA- There is also one important way to determine an original Swarovski crystal is its two distinct types, which are the strass and the spectra. 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.
