Fine Crystal Chains Ropes

Feel The Swarovski Sparkle - Click to Play 2 Videos Below

crystal wedding tree crystals 

The Clear Facts:  Swarovski's reputation speaks volumes: the Rolls Royce of crystal with better than AAA+++ Quality; they're virtually flawless.  Crafted in the Austrian Alps with patented precision cutting & polishing, they have exquisite optical clarity & razor sharp facets for unique purity & brilliance.  Play the video to feel the outrageous sparkle. No computer added "stars", just real Swarovski crystal.  In person, you can see flashes of light & fascinating rainbows. Our Ethereal crystals are a nice second choice.   Our chains with subtle, elegant links make your crystals look more like falling, crystal raindrops.  Draw attention to the crystals ... not the metal connectors in between.  Click Here for Testimonials.



Is Austrian Crystal the Same as Swarovski Crystal?  NO.  Swarovski Austrian crystal is in a league of it's own.   "Austrian Crystal" simply means crystal made in Austria.   Those are always high in Lead and sold as "Austrian", "Full Lead" "30% Lead" or "32% Lead", etc.  Swarovski makes a Lead and a No Lead crystal. Poorly cut, cheap glass crystal can sometimes be mistaken for plastic acrylic. Not so with fine glass crystals.  If it is genuine Swarovski Austrian Crystal, the seller always makes that clear since they are known as the best in the world; better than regular Austrian Crystal.  If the seller is mentioning  Swarovski, but not using the word Swarovski in the actual product name that ends up on your receipt, (not Leaded or Austrian or Swarovski-like or Swarovski-ish), you can be sure it is not Swarovski, no matter what they tell you by phone; It should be in writing.  Order in sufficient quantities and we can send them in the genuine Swarovski branded boxes that the crystals originally come in.

No Lead, Glass Crystal is Lighter & Less Fragile than Lead Crystal

All lead crystal is more fragile, (not less fragile) than no-lead or glass crystal.  Lead Crystal or Austrian Crystal is also substantially heavier.  Crystal makers know and confirm that Lead, although a metal, causes the glass to actually become more brittle.

Cynthia, You were a life saver. You took the time to explain the details of exactly what I needed to create a 'magnificent crystal tree' (Swarovski Lead Free Crystal Ropes). It was a huge success! The attached photo does not show the true beautiful of it. Now here is the problem. Two people loved them so much they want me to do their reception tables (20-30) with the crystal trees on each. Thanks.

Are the Crystals Clear or Colored?

The picture and video above show colorless, CLEAR Swarovski Lead Free. What looks like "color" is actual, natural rainbows formed by it's glamorous sparkle. No  "Aurora Borealis AB plastic coating (commonly used on cheaper glass crystals and plastic acrylic "crystals" to "mimic" rainbows they're not making).

Mounds of Plastic Acrylic Crystals or Spools of Acrylic Beads don't pass our  test and we don't sell them, however, you can click here to visit our Acrylic Crystals Info Page  for more info.  Click on links below for Crystal Facts.  Buy Crystals Below.


Why Lead Free Crystal is the Eco-Friendly, Smartest Choice
Why Pros like Preston Bailey, Brides Mag & Sandals Choose Swarovski Lead Free
Why 1 Foot is Better than 1 Yard Lengths (how it saves $ and Hangs Better)
Why CLEAR is Better than Colored Crystals


1' Foot Crystal Ropes Actually Stretch Your Budget & Hang Better

crystals for crystal wedding treesIf hanging crystal ropes over tree branches, 1' ropes are better to use since you can adjust the length easily for a custom length. If looping yard long chains over a branch, at the top where the crystal chain must bend in order to hang down the other side, you have a crystal laying on the top of the branch. At left, you see a picture of our 1' Swarovski crystal ropes.  They are attached hanging straight down, hooked by the top hook, directly to the branch. 

In addition to being messier, doubling crystal ropes over one side of a branch and down the other side causes crystals to be facing one way on one side and facing the other way on the way down.  For 2' ropes, hook two of our one foot ropes to another 2' rope in literally 2 seconds. You can do the same to make long, 6' ropes. 

As you can see, the swarovski crystals are stunningly beautiful.  The good thing about high quality crystals like this is that they look amazing even in mediocre lighting.  Good lighting just makes them look even better, taking them to another level. 

Chains with Bow-Tie Connectors and Diamond Cut Crystals (any connector)


Looping chains over branches is especially bad if your chains or ropes use bow-tie connectors which look far different from the front than from the back. You want the front of the bow-tie facing OUT, not in. This means you would have to actually separate the 3' or a 1 yard rope into two in order to have the crystals all facing the right way. If you are using crystals that are pointed on the back and flat on the front (diamond shaped), this is also not good. The crystals on one side would look fine and once looped over, coming down the back, they would be backwards.

Diamond cut crystals are supposed to be used with the flat side out and the point in, funneling the light up and out through the flat front of the crystal. Better to hang each chain straight down. Use either one, 1' rope or hook two together in 1 second and you have a two foot rope; perfect for 6' and even 7' trees as you see on our huge 7' foot tree with thousands of crystals at the top of this page.

crystal tree hanging crystalsFor Loose Crystal  Octagons, Teardrops and Balls for linking into chains yourself, visit our Loose Crystals page of our site.

Our fine loose Swarovski, Ethereal and Diamante' crystals can be used to hang from crystal tree centerpieces, arches, chuppas, mandaps, chairbacks, napkin rings, table skirts and more. 

They make gorgeous wedding decoration crystals during an event and luxurious wedding favor gifts if hung from beautiful trim, ribbon or chord.  Hang them from crystal tree table decorations and after the event, guests can take them as  fine suncatchers to hang in their window, ushering in the rainbows and reminding them of the special event for years to come. 

wedding crystals millimeter size comparisons
What Does "MM" in Crystal Descriptions Mean?

Crystals are sold in mm sizes.  MM size refers to the length of the crystal in most cases, depending on the shape of the crystal. 

For octagon shape or round shapes, the mm size given is both the width and length of the crystal.  For Teardrop shaped crystals or Almond shapes which are longer than they are wide, the mm size is referring to the longest dimension of the crystal from top to bottom.

The pink chart shown here, approximates what some common crystal millimeter sizes are similar to.

To see in front of you, what each mm size looks like, you can get a coin from your wallet or purse.  You can also look at each product description and you will see the mm size broken down into fractions of an inch.  For example, 14mm products also state that they are .55" inches.  This means that 16mm is the same as .55" on a ruler.  Look at a ruler at the 1/2" inch mark and note that 14mm is .05" of an inch larger than 1/2" an inch wide.

About Our Crystals

Our Swarovski Lead Free Crystal Chains and New Ethereal Crystal pieces and crystal chains are already WHOLESALE priced.  Note: all crystals shown are CLEAR, not colored.  We do sell our Ethereal brand wedding crystals in custom colors on a custom order bases.  What appears to be "color" in our clear party crystals is actually light hitting the facets and forming natural rainbows and partially captured by the photography. Although photos partially capture it's rainbows, photos can't truly capture Swarovski's glamorously, firey sparkle. Our photos are a mere taste; the movement of their crisp, rich rainbows is exquisite in person. Lead Free Swarovski is virtually indistinguishable from Swarovski Strass when hung together. Photographs simply cannot fully capture the rainbows or sparkle of fine Swarovski crystal. Our stunning Swarovski crystal chains or ropes make lovely garlands to adorne trees, fireplaces, centerpieces, chandeliers, candelabras, chairbacks, table skirting and more.

At www.EtherealDecor.com, you will find all the crystal parts (loose crystal prisms or crystal prism ropes) needed for making your own crystal tree for events or weddings. If there is any Swarovski Lead Free or Swarovski Strass Full Lead crystal prism or part that you want and is not shown on this page, just email us at for a quote and you can special order them from us.

Crystal Trees for Event Decor


Crystal trees and centerpieces are perfect for wedding decoration, quinceanera decoration or for other spectacular and visually stunning events. Hang your crystal centerpiece tree with our Swarovski Lead Free crystal octagon or teardrop crystal prisms, linked crystal chain ropes, garlands of flowers, orchids, decor leaves, vines ... the possibilities are endless. Use our parts and tips to create the special event, wedding, shower or quinceanera decorations of your dreams. Make beautiful crystal festooned centerpieces for guest tables, buffet table decorations or as a stunning crystal centerpiece for your champagne or dessert bar. They also make fabulous home decor afterwards.

Crystal Size Conversions Tips:

1 inch = 25.5mm Multiply mm by.0392 to get size in inches or fractions of an inch so that you can visualize the size by looking at a ruler. Note: 20mm is the size of a U.S. nickle and 28mm is the size of a U.S. quarter. 16mm is about the size of a dime. 14mm is significantly smaller than a dime and is not recommended for any crystal tree project. You will find it simply too small to make an impact for the trees, but they are great linked together into ropes for decorating candelabras, candle sticks, chandeliers and other event decorations.


Note: Lead Crystal Warning

California Government Proposition 65 (you can Google it) states that any lead in crystal products including prisms, figurines, vases, etc. can cause reproductive and other harm from handling or ingestion of microscopic particles from handling. For this reason, among others, we no longer sell any loose pieces of lead crystals, but only Swarovski LEAD FREE which was used in both project #1 and #2 on our Stunning decor Projects pages. There is no other lead free or glass crystal that can even remotely compare. They simply don't sparkle as well. If it's not going to sparkle, what's the point of a crystal tree, right?

Our fine Swarovski crystals make wonderful crystal adornements for candlesticks, candelabras, chandeliers and event decor. Fine Swarovski Lead Free crystal octagon prisms, Swarovski Lead Free octagon crystal ropes, Swarovski Lead Free crystal tear drops, Swarovski Lead Free crystal leafs and Swarovski Lead Free french crystal pendalogues easily add glamour and glitz to home decor, wedding decorations, centerpieces and event decor. They are positively the crystal of choice next to their sister, Swarovski Strass crystal which costs more than the healthier, eco-conscious, Swarovski Lead Free crystal.

Decorate with Crystals

String them into crystal ropes for crystal trees, use them to make stunning crystal centerpieces, to make crystal prism curtains, crystal table garlands or swags, Swarovski crystal chair swags, cake top decorations, crystal prism guest favors and more. Swarovski lead free crystal is also great for draping on many other types of ordinary decorations. They bring drama and turn an ordinary event into a "Platinum" event. Swarovski fine crystals add to any wedding or event, the feel of diamonds, opulence and extravagance.

Swarovski Lead Free crystals also make great guest favor gifts: use our loose crystal prisms, teardrops or leafs as gifts to give after the event by attaching thin chord to them individually. Hang them from trees or branches, attach them to napkins or chairbacks. They serve as decor during the event and as "sun-catchers" or "rainbow-catchers" to hang in windows for your guests afterwards.
