History of the Swarovski Brand
The Swarovski Company was founded in the late 19th Century when Daniel Swarovski invented an automatic cutting machine for crystal, and in 1895 established a crystal cutting factory in Austria. The birthplace of the factory was Wattens, which was chosen because local hydroelectricity made the energy-intensive process involved more cost-effective.
Today Wattens is home to the Swarovski museum which tells the story of the founder and the company's history and development right through to present day.
The Swarovski range includes jewelry, couture, crystal sculptures and miniatures, home décor and chandeliers. They also create crystal beads and promote other designers including these in their work. In order to maximize refraction and to give Swarovski its magnificent sparkle, the crystal contains around 32% lead. Some of the crystals are also coated in order to refract a rainbow spectrum.
All Swarovski sculptures are marked with a logo, this was originally an edelweiss flower but was replaced by the current swan logo in 1988.
Today all types of Swarovski crystal are hugely in demand as collectibles, and make a stunning display in any home, can be worn as vintage or contemporary jewelry or can be used as an investment piece as their popularity and value continues to rise.

Swarovski Gold Chandeliers Go Under The Hammer
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Rumours say that Swarovski might just put a stop to its catering business, we mean catering their crystals to other luxury obejects. So before that happens why don’t you get enough dose of the famous ices before you can’t find them on any other products other than those manufactured by the brand itself. Billionairexchange.com is acutioning five exquisite and rather unususal crystal chandeliers that apparently were made on a special order by a German company.
Pertaining to some unforseen circumstances, these five could not be delivered to the person who originally ordered them and so now they are available for online auction. Just so you know, all of these chandeliers are plated with gold
and made from genuine STRASS Swarovski-crystal.
Each chandelier unique from the rest due to it size and pattern. And perhaps, that is the reason why they are calling the auction UNIQUE CHANDELIERS to attract bidders. The opening bit is touted to be near $1,800,000.

$75,000 Swarovski-Studded Toilet
Sunday, April 5, 2009
Gold plated toilet priced at a staggering 250,000 Euros, so a swarovski crystal studded toilet won’t come as a big surprise to you (though it did to me). This one comes from the same maker who earlier lured the rich folks with their chrome-plated toilet. But, for those who demand more, there is ‘Isis‘ collection that features blinged-out bathroom fixtures designed by Jemal Wright of Hollywood, Florida. The iced-out toilet featured here comes fully encrusted with swarvoski crystals. The artist even has a matching sink up for grabs and if that is not enough, the artist is also planning to complete an ice-encrusted double slipper tub by spring of 2008. The swarovski-decked toilet comes for a stunning price tag of $75,000.

Crystal Jewelries
Crystal jewelries are originally attributed to all transparent and clear sets of jewelries because of their natural luster and shine. Gemstones, quartz and glass beads are collectively known as crystals. The most expensive crystals are the precious gemstones that include the diamond, sapphire, ruby and emeralds. Almost all naturally occurring gemstones are classified as crystals because of their crystalline properties. Due to the unique charm of crystals, man strived to replicate its beauty and lead to the creation of manmade or synthetic crystals that truly depict the elegance and novelty of a natural crystal. Manmade crystals are excellent and affordable way to add life, fashion and style to any kind of jewelry.
