Vintage Swarovski "Starlight" crystals have a fascinating and elusive color that can appear differently depending on the light and individual perception.
To me, the color resembles the modern Swarovski color "Black Diamond," which is a dark grey with a metallic shimmer. Shifting colors with the light, the crystal is shimmering and shifting from blue to rainbow aurora borealis (AB) depending on how the light hits it. It is a warm silver with a subtle gold hue, appearing more silver in some lights and more gold in others. It's important to remember that these crystals are vintage and a discontinued color from Swarovski. Their unique coloration adds to their appeal and desirability.

A small note about foil-backed stones: Swarovski’s sew-ons are excellent quality; I have at least 3 I rarely take off. However, there are chemicals and some oils and lotions that can eat at the foil on the back of the crystal. If in doubt, whether something will hurt the foil, take the ring (or other piece of jewelry off).
thanks for stopping by - hope to see ya again soon.....
