Swarovski® Crystals: Pronounced (swore-off-ski).  Founded in 1895, Austria, by Daniel Swarovski who invented an automatic crystal cutting machine that allowed crystals to be cut into a variety of complex shapes.   Swarovski® Crystals are known worldwide for their purity, brilliance, refractive qualities, and collectible properties.

Dichroic Glass: Vaporized metallic salts are shot through an electronic beam gun onto a special glass.  It is then heated in a vacuum chamber creating glass that has a mystical glowing radiance.  Its look is similar to the reflective rainbow sheen that is found in the gas used in vehicles.

Furnace Glass:  Uses large decorated canes built up out of smaller canes, encased in clear glass and then are extruded to form the beads with linear and twisting stripe patterns. No air is blown into the glass.
