Are swarovski beads with birthstone colors really the birthstone?

For example, if i buy a topaz bicone swarovski bead, is the bead really made out of the stone topaz or is it just crystal in the color "topaz"?|||Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut lead crystal glass. They are the most beautiful crystals in the world but they are manmade and dyed various colors.





There is no problem using a crystal dyed topaz for birthstone jewelry. Although they are dyed they still represent the month of November.





Purchasing the precious stone "topaz" can be very expensive so using a crystal dyed topaz is a great alternative.

Hope this helps!
