Swarovski Crystal
Swarovski Crystal is the finest quality crystal made today. It is a full-lead crystal containing a minimum of 32%PbO making it a very pure crystal. The crystal is faceted with absolute precision, exposing all the facets hidden within the crystal material. In a Swarovski crystal, all the facets point up and meet at a single perfect point. The Swarovski Crystal has incredible brilliance and unbelievable flash. The play of light in a Swarovski Crystal is amazing!
Swarovski crystals, with a palette of colors and coatings, and a large line of shapes including bicones, rounds, cubes, teardrops, hearts, stars, moons, coral, flowers, butterflies, fish and the list goes on, are used to create beads, pendants, stones, sun-catchers, jewelry and more.
Daniel Swarovski was born October 24, 1862, in Georgenthal, Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Bohemia was one of the most important manufacturing centers for glass and crystal, and with his father owning a small factory that cut crystals, Daniel Swarovski was in a world of crystals.
Swarovski completed an apprenticeship with his father, as well as with several other crystal cutters and in 1883, at the age of 21, attended the First Electrical Exhibition in Vienna. Swarovski decided to create a machine that would cut crystals with absolute perfection. Nine years later, in 1892, Swarovski took out a patent on his automatic crystal cutting machine, that precisely cuts each crystal in such a way that they have a hundred identical facets in several directions.
In 1895, Swarovski, along with Armand Kossman and his brother-in-law Franz Weis, founded the Swarovski crystal company where flawless crystals are created.
January 23, 1956, Daniel Swarovski died at the age of 94.
Today, with descendents of Daniel Swarovski still taking and active part in managing the Swarovski Group, Swarovski continues to produce the worlds finest crystals.
