Adding Crystal To Your South Carolina Bridal Registry

Nothing dresses up a dinner table quite like crystal. Crystal comes in a wide verity of colors and designs. Crystal is hand cut and polished by a master craftsman. The result is high quality uniform glassware with detailed designs. Lead crystal contains at least 28% lead and is considered the highest quality crystal. You can easily tell crystal from other glassware. Look for the following traits before adding a glass to your South Carolina wedding gift registry.

• The Ring: When you tap your fingernail against the bowl of a piece of South Carolina crystal stemware, it should sound like a bell.
• Clarity: Put a piece of white paper behind a piece of South Carolina crystal to make sure there aren't strange colors.
• Uniform cuttings: Look closely at the South Carolina crystal. Every cut should be clean and accurate.
• Smooth finished edge: Run you finger around the edge of a piece of South Carolina crystal. The edge should be smooth and level.
• Proportion and weight: South Carolina crystal should sit level on a flat surface. When you hold a crystal glass, it should feel balanced.
