Swarovski Crystal is one of the finest crystals produced in the world today and is noted for its purity, brilliance and reflective qualities. It is a synthetic crystal produced in Austria using a formula perfected by Daniel Swarovski and his sons at the end of the 19th century. What sets Swarovski crystals apart from other imitations is the superior quality of the cutting and polishing used in the finished product.
Cubic Zirconia is a fully faceted synthetic stone which replicates the characteristics of a Diamond more closely than any other gem material. Even trained jewellers find it difficult to tell the difference between a Cubic Zirconia and a Diamond with the naked eye. Even though Cubic Zirconias outweigh equivalent size Diamonds by 65%, the greatest difference between the two is the price!

Sterling Silver can achieve the most brilliant polish of any metal.

Nickel Free Due to allergic reactions commonly caused by Nickel all Grace Designer Jewellery is free of this metal.
