Colour Chart Information

There are almost an endless supply of great colors and styles from Swarovski®. Below is a chart that will give you an idea of some of their colours and styles. New colours are added all the time and may not appear on this chart so use the chart as a general reference.

Special Crystal Finishes

Swarovski crystals are made in many different finishes. We often have questions about the different effects and finishes that are available. Here are a few examples:

AB (Aurora Borealis): An outside coating which gives it a rainbow effect in reflected light

AB2X (Aurora Borealis 2X's): Twice the coating and a stronger effect

CAL (Comet Argent Light): Half silver and half regular "colour"

SATIN:  It is not an outside coating but give the original color a deeper richer look

DORADO: This is similar to the CAL finish, but in gold, 1/2 gold and 1/2 original colour

MATTE: This is the original color with a non-glossy finish

METTALIC SILVER: Some are special production but its a silver (like CAL) and metal reflective type finish combo

Combinations:

There are also combination finishes that are sometimes available in certain colours. Some examples are "AB SATIN", "MATTE 2X", & "SATIN 2X". These are usually a very limited availability and done on a special production run.

AB & SATIN: A combination of the outside AB finish and the colour within the crystal SATIN

SATIN & 2X: A unquie combination of the 2X finish that coats the outside and the SATIN finish

DORADO & 2X: Very limited editions but DORADO (a special gold finish) and the 2X make a unquie combo.
