Swarovski Light Vitrail a special coating, colour combination of light and resplendent light purple and blue colours.

Light Vitrail is available on several of the smaller crystal designs including heart pendants and drops, many bead shapes and some special designs such as the square ring donut pendants.

Light Vitrail or more commonly Vitrail Light is a special coating and colour finish based around a range of purple and lilac, pale sky-blues and metallic steel greys are combined with cool azure at the 'base' light-filled end of its spectrum. A large variation in tonal displays results from changes in ambient and background light conditions.

Upon the lighter blue shades, Light Vitrail builds lilac and purple, blending flashes of mauve and some transient pinks. Indigo modulates to blueberry with violet and lavender borders. In purely lateral light, a glacial blue rises to peaks of imperial purple splendour, while hints of turquoise and aquamarine can often be seen as fleeting spectra. In frontal view, a mid purple pointed 'star' flashes with sapphire and cobalt glints, while tempered with darker aubergine low-lights.

Light vitrail carries a heavy metallic back coating, similar to some other Swarovski special finishes, such as Bermuda blue and Heliotrope. However, its 'internal' 'mirror effect' is more pronounced than those other colours. As a result, it always appears to radiate light, even when in it's darker phases. Beautifully 'light-filled', particularly suited to crystal designs set within drop earrings, as free movements serve to emphasize its' highly reflective range. Confusingly, Light Vitrail bares no resemblance to Medium Vitrail in its tonal range.

Light Vitrail can appear momentarily as a coherent light purple crystal, ideal for those who prefer lots of chromatic movement around this tonal area. For a darker purple tone, Heliotrope or Amethyst Aurora Borealis would be a better match, for a lighter purple bias, see Light Amethyst Aurora Borealis.
