Beading Blog - thebroadroom.net: Swarovski "light azore" crystals
Swarovski "light azore" crystals

Was trying to take a pic of the "light azore" shade of Swarovski crystals (far right). The sun was setting and I don't feel I got it quite right; the picture was too dark so I had to lighten it in Photoshop. The actual crystals are a bit paler and more delicate-looking, but it does give an idea what they look like in real life.
Light azore is a very pretty color. Sort of a shade deeper than an aquamarine stone.
In fact that is a problem...Swarovski's can look very different in person than they tend to online.
Take "crystal silver shade" for example. In real life, it's a lovely pale grey. I would say it's a neutral grey rather than "cool." I was checking it out to match some pink keishi pearls. But online it can look almost clear, not grey at all.
Going back to the above picture, two kinds of clear crystals: "Moonlight" finish (far left); AB finish (top). Moonlight is sort of a cross between a plain clear finish and AB...a little more "shine" and "glow" than the plain, but not as much rainbow dazzle as AB. (Moonlight is nice, I like it.)Labels: crystal, pics
