Swarovski Crystal – $250/Kg

The cost of a Swarovski Crystal is tough to ascertain due to the secrecy surrounding the entire process. Interestingly, the shining stones are entirely man-made and are crafted from glass, lead, sand, quartz, and mineral, with the machine patented that makes them. So, what makes them so popular while giving stiff competition to diamonds?

Every crystal is similar in cut and size, are scratch-resistant, and never gets dull! Only the company Swarovski makes them, and they have collaborated with some of the biggest fashion designers in the world, to further drive up the demand.
