About the brand
Swarovski was founded in 1895 in Austria by Daniel Swarovski, who developed a revolutionary machine for cutting crystal with greater precision and consistency. This made beautifully cut crystal much more accessible to fashion and jewellery designers.
Throughout the 20th century, Swarovski crystals became hugely influential in costume and fashion jewellery, appearing in everything from Hollywood costumes to designer collections.
From the mid-20th century onwards, Swarovski produced its own jewellery, with pieces known for their exceptional sparkle, precise faceting and glamorous designs.
Vintage Swarovski jewellery from the 1950s onwards is particularly popular, with signed pieces, unusual crystal colours and intricate designs being especially sought after.
Swarovski's greatest contribution to costume jewellery is arguably its ability to make crystal look extraordinarily luxurious, proving that glamour doesn't always require precious gemstones.
