FAQs :: SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL

SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL

It may be a difficult name for most people, but however one pronounces it, Swarovski Crystal Components, quite simply are the finest faceted crystal beads and stones in the world. Manufactured in Wattens, Austria, since 1895, the Swarovski company has perfected its crystal products by creating brilliantly pure crystals in an vast array of colors with precise machine-cut faceting.

The Swarovski name has since become synonymous with high fashion. In 1955, a collaboration with Christian Dior led to the creation of the aurora borealis (AB) crystal effect. Coating the crystal with a special, reflective foil gives the crystal extra sparkle and a pastel effect.

In the 1990’s and 2000’s jewelry containing Swarovski Crystal Components was seen everywhere, accenting everyday fashion jewelry pieces, adding drama to evening designs, as well as creating “Best Dressed” couture statements for Hollywood celebrities.

The real beauty of Swarovski crystal jewelry is in its magical ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Its uses and applications are endless, and the results are beautiful. For these reasons, Swarovski Components remain essential to the designs within CJ Sardi.
