For over a century, Swarovski has supplied the world with superior crystals that are enjoyed
and admired by millions worldwide.
The Swarovski crystal came about as a result of Daniel Swarovski’s invention of automated
cutting machines in 1892. With this state of the art machinery and using precise optical
techniques along with distinctive cuts that maximize the refraction of light, Swarovski was able
to produce and perfect the composition and purity of glass crystal to a state of flawless
brilliance that, even today, no other competitor can duplicate. Three years later the Swarovski
Company crystal cutting factory in Wattens, Austria was established and became the world
leader in optically pure, exquisitely cut crystal prisms. They further adapted special effect
processes that could imitate or mimic the luster, hues, beauty, and wide spectrum of colors of
natural stones and crystals making Swarovski the leading name in man-made crystals, pearls,
and beads.
One of the special effects that helps bring out the beauty of Swarovski crystal beads is the
different types of coatings. One of the more popular coatings, Aureole Borealis, delivers a
luminescent rainbow effect.
Swarovski uses such elements as quartz and other minerals to make their fiery man-made
crystals. The various combinations of these ingredients create a brilliant quality that has made
Swarovski crystal renowned for being the most magnificent crystal made anywhere in the
world. Given the brilliance, variety, and innovations that are hallmarks of this outstanding
company, there is no doubt its products have gained extreme popularity.
Crystal and pearl necklace collections created with Swarovski crystals range from delicate and
dressy to casual and relaxed. A Swarovski crystal necklace will stand out in any room due to
its elegance, uniqueness and brilliance.
