From beautiful crystal jewelry to intriguing decorative items, both you and your home can have the perfect finishing touch that only Swarovski crystals can deliver! Founded by David Swarovski in a small factory in North Bohemia more than a century ago, this company continues to produce the highest-quality crystal in its Wattens, Tyrol facility to this day.
Each year, the designers at Swarovski design even more elegant crystal objects than the year before to make life a little bit more beautiful! If you’re not familiar with this product line, go from beginner to expert as you review our list of favorites:
1. Crystal Comes to Life!
Adorn your desk or curio cabinet with a Swarovski Moments Rocking Flower, one of the new items for 2011. Our favorite, Liz, is a fantastic creation with delicate amethyst petals that appear weightless on the silver-toned stem. Both the purple flower and the faceted-crystal base are designed to reflect every glimmer of light for an eye-catching effect.
2. That Purse is a Work of Art!
If you’re tired of the same old leather clutch or sequined evening bag, why not add a true work of art to your collection? The Kathrine Baumann Butterfly Purse is a masterpiece that is encrusted with Swarovski crystals to create a glowing butterfly. Although this amazing creation looks too delicate to actually use, it is perfectly functional.
The Butterfly Bag is designed to be used as either a clutch or a shoulder bag. Join the ranks of red-carpet celebrities who love the haute-couture vision of Kathrine Baumann. If you look closely, you’ll see Swarovski-crystal purses on the arms of Mena Suvari, Joan Rivers, and Cybill Shepherd.
3. Swarovski Stemware
Whether you’re stocking your bar or your wine cellar, Swarovski offers the best crystal stemware designed by Steven Weinberg. From champagne flutes to martini glasses, this collection includes the right piece of glassware for any sophisticated beverage.
4. Crystal Snowflakes
Swarovski is famous for their beautiful Christmas ornaments, and their crystal snowflakes are no exception! Get ready for an amazing display as this sparkling snowflake glimmers in the seasonal lights on your tree. Whether you add one or two large ornaments or several of the smaller snowflakes, these ornaments are destined to become family favorites. In fact, they may even become heirlooms and adorn the Christmas trees of your descendants for years to come!
5. Gold Pave Twist Bracelet
If you hate to leave your Swarovski collection behind when you leave home, wear these beautiful crystals on your wrist where they will always be in sight! This elegant bracelet features a classic twist design and an easy-to-clasp hinge. While the single strands of Swarovski crystals enclosed by a thin gold border have a delicate appearance, this piece will last the test of time!
Now that you have gotten a little taste of the fantasy world that only Swarovski crystals can create, there’s nothing to stop you from discovering more! From citrine tigers to golden sea horses, fill your collection with the most beautiful pieces to make your home a study in grace and light.
