In addition, it comes in many beautiful cuts, shapes, and colors. Aside from bicones, rounds, and rondelles, Chinese crystal also comes in a wide range of unique shapes like the teardrop.
As to crystal beads or crystal pendants, there is always a question the most jewelry designers concern, which is “Is there a crystal without lead?” The answer to that is no. By definition, crystal IS leaded glass. Whether it is Swarovski or Chinese crystal or any other variety of crystal, it will contain lead.
Crystal is made in a unique way; the lead is bound into the structure of the glass so that no real danger is presented. Unless you are stacking bracelets up to your elbows and wearing 20 necklaces made of crystal, I think you are safe to bling yourself out. In fact, lead is what gives crystal its weight. Whereas Swarovski has a lead content of about 30%, Chinese crystal beads lead levels are typically in the low-to-mid 20% range.
