Swarovski coatings
Does anyone have any experience on how durable these are?
There are just too many choices out there. My head is exploding from the pain of trying to figure out what's what. -Su www.tillermanbeads.co.uk www.britishlampwork.co.uk

They will scratch a bit if handled roughly. But I've found them to be
very durable. (I'm a bigger ho for the coated ones than the plain, and that's saying a LOT.) `````````````````````````````````````` Su wrote: Does anyone have any experience on how durable these are?

First, I buy a bunch of Swarki coated crystals, then I subject them to untold abuse and then report back. OMG, that means I must buy crystals! Oh the pain. -Su www.tillermanbeads.co.uk www.britishlampwork.co.uk

Su,
String some on a bit of wire and toss it in the tumbler with some shot. That would be about as bad as it would get, I should think.
