countrylover 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 I just saw your t-blog. Interesting lights! Brave of you to order something through the net though! Most impt is, you need to check on the credibility and reputation of the merchants. In ebay, it's easy to track as there's usually a feedback section. Also, I insured all my items. So in case of loss or damage, I can take it up with the courier company. HTH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a world of difference between the price of Egyptian and Austrian (Swarovski Strass?) crystals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuga98 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 the crystal is not even swarovski. If it is strass, will take immediately, not even spectra...so how, carry on the search. Pricing is subjective.

My preference was for Swarovski Strass crystals for my lights. I did consider a lighting with Egyptian crystals which looked pretty good but I felt it still paled in comparison to the lighting with Strass crystals. Its a very personal thing though.
