Glass rates 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale and withstands normal daily activities, though it can chip or crack from sharp impacts against hard surfaces.
Glass jewelry uses soda-lime or borosilicate glass shaped by artisans, while crystal jewelry contains lead oxide that increases light refraction and adds weight to the material.
Glass colors come from mineral oxides fused into the material during production, making them permanent and resistant to fading from sunlight or skin contact.
