Imitation Swarowski K9 Glass Plated Transparent Pendant - Heart - 44 x 45.5 x 27.5 mm, Hole: 1.4 mm
Pendant made of special caceted clear borosilicate glass (so-called K9 glass) in the shape of a heart with a plated surface, size 44 x 45.5 x 27.5 mm and with a hole for a hole punch with a diameter of 1.4 mm. The beads are plated with AB coating, which refracts light and when rotated, different colours of the visible spectrum can be seen. In addition, the glass also reflects different reflections depending on the background colour (see picture).
Due to the way the pendants are packaged by the manufacturer, the plating of the pendant may have small defects such as scratches and minor abrasions (see photo).
THE PRICE IS FOR 1 PIECE.

K9 glass has a high optical purity, which means that the light that enters this type of glass does not gradually fade through the passage and there is a refraction on the ground edges with a high reflection, which can be further enhanced by light plating. The high optical purity in this special borosilicate glass is due to the addition of lead oxide, which is also used in so-called lead crystal (similar to glass alloys with a lead content between 10 and 35 %), which is used to make chandeliers, vases and luxury dishes with a high gloss similar to crystal. For glass, a lead content limit of up to 35 by weight is permitted as safe %. Glass is essential for its so-called chemical inertness in releasing many substances, and lead is one of them in this respect, thanks to which lead crystal has gained great popularity among the aristocracy in the past, and many people have inherited cut glasses from it for several generations. This particular borosilicate glass alloy, designated K9, contains only 9 % lead - almost 4 times less than the limits allow and from the point of view of health safety there is nothing to worry about.
Due to the color setting of the monitor, the color of the goods may differ slightly from reality.
