I don't put good crystal into the dishwasher. Even if a piece is in there all by itself, the dishwasher will jostle it as it cleans, and I'm not willing to risk its breaking. It's not THAT much trouble to wash crystal by hand; it's even a bit enjoyable drying and polishing the stuff!

Now, I'm a person who puts almost all my pots and pans, dishes(to include best china) and such in the dishwasher. We rarely use the heated dry cycle.
But the few things I *won't* put in are my good knives and my crystal. I've even been known to put my good silver in there.
I'm like you-I enjoy washings, admiring, drying, and admiring yet again my crystal and silver as I care for it. I enjoy polishing my silver. I find it a calm, mindless task that makes me feel pleased with life in general.
