Hi there - I'd pay you money to re-make this video... in 4K resolution from your phone would be fine... people really need to know their crystal differences with Swarovski... like what spectra vs strass vs 'crystals by swarovski' vs hand cut vs rock crystal.... and why the prices are different. I'd sort by price but then end with 'by quality of light refraction' because in my opinion the hand cut and rock crystals are more expensive most of the time, but 'crystals by swarovski' is best by far. I think that replaced strass btw? Even I don't know and I'm probably one of the largest (or the largest) private non-estate collector of Swarovski in the US, if not the world.
@@joejohnson4456 if you look at images of Babbitt House in Flagstaff on Google maps you'll see some pics there... I've got a davinci 36" for starters... I probably have close to $1M in schonbek/Swarovski fixtures... Only a small portion installed lol...
Between the Spectra and Elements (as well as Golden Shadow), can most people tell the difference? In other words, are they visibly different enough in terms of sparks? Thanks much.
@@kef103 True... however, many people are also buying the fixture design in addition to the crystal trim. I'll have to look into K9 as I thought that they were rating on an A-F system, lately on alibaba I've seen AAA+ crystals but haven't seen a K rating... I haven't looked much so I'm in no way an expert... but I'm probably one of the world's biggest private collectors of Swarovski / Schonbek lighting fixtures.
@@ravirajhaldankar3746 Following 12 years of intensive research, all Swarovski crystal is now produced to the Advanced Crystal standard - this includes the crystals used in our jewelry and lighting.
@Kef103 Yes you are. That’s is of Swarovski not Schonbek. They have a standard in crystal. Like, Spectra Crystal Clear (A) made up of Potassium and zero lead and Crystal from Swarovski Clear (S) the Strass also known as Swarovski Element with >30% lead.
