Amazing Facts About Swarovski Jewelry

swarovskijewelry – Here are 9 surprising things you didn’t know about this classic piece of jewelry.

1. Swarovski crystals do not exist in nature

Crystals may exist in nature, but Swarovski crystals do not. It is actually a lead glass crystal made from quartz, sand, and minerals. In fact, they lead by about 32%. You may be wondering why we are leading.
However, lead helps maximize refraction within the crystal. Color is produced by chemical coating, but transparent crystals cannot contain impurities and are therefore actually more difficult to produce.

2. Swarovski crystals are not actually crystals

Don’t be fooled by the name. In fact, Swarovski crystals are not crystals at all. It’s not even a gem.

In fact, this is a type of glass that is made using a patented process.

Swarovski crystals have a higher refractive index than real crystals and are more similar to diamonds, so crystal lovers will immediately notice the difference. This is achieved through precise cutting and polishing to give you the desired shine.

3. Swarovski was founded in Austria in 1892.

The crystal you know was invented by Austrian David Swarovski. He dreams of making crystals more accessible – “diamonds for everyone.”

In 1892, Swarovski patented an electric cutting machine that could cut crystals more precisely and uniformly than by hand. Three years later, he founded the Swarovski company in the small town of Wattens in the Austrian Alps. 4. Swarovski is more expensive than glass

You may be wondering, if Swarovski is more or less glass crystal, why is it more expensive than glass jewelry?
This is because the manufacturing process is required to make glass, not crystal.

Compared to other glass jewelry products, Swarovski uses high quality materials. The process for making single crystals is complicated. Remember that a crystal must have 100 identical faces in different directions to be considered high quality, and for hard materials this takes time.

5. Jewels debuts with “Blonde Venus”

If you know all about current jewelry trends and how they evolve when the Swarovski name is involved, it’s all about Marlene Dietrich and the movie Blonde Venus Thank you.

This 1932 film not only brought Marlene Dietrich back to the stage, but also marked Swarovski’s film debut. The costumes and jewelry all sparkled with crystals, and soon rows of blonde starlets in crystals appeared on the screen and on the red carpet. 6. Starring Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn

Who is one of the most famous blondes to wear Swarovski jewelry?
“Blondes Prefer” Marilyn Monroe wore an iconic pink satin gown and sparkling jewelry as she wryly sang “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Swarovski recently collaborated with supermodel Karlie Kloss to recreate the moment.

But perhaps the most famous moment for jewelry in a film is not with a blonde, but with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Holly Golightly wears a small tiara at a key moment in the film, but if you’re not interested in it by now, you probably haven’t seen the film.

7. 8 ways to know if Swarovski is genuine

You may be wondering if there is a way to tell whether your Swarovski is genuine or a convincing imitation. There are eight ways to test the authenticity of your jewelry.

Crystals should not have air bubbles
All sides should be parallel and facing up
Each crystal must be cut to the same size
If the crystals are from the same color family, they will look the same
There should be no streaks or oily sheen on the surface
Only Swarovski pearls are sold on a string. Crystals are sold loose
The crystal should have a brilliance comparable to that of a diamond
Ideally, crystals should be purchased from authorized dealers.
Remember: Because these crystals are machine-made, they are much more uniform than natural crystals and gemstones. Identical crystals are actually a sign of superior craftsmanship and reliability. Swarovski crystals are also designed with great attention to detail. Crystal defects such as scratches, bubbles and dull shine do not meet the company’s quality standards.

8. They stole the show at the 2018 Oscars.

If you attended the 2018 Academy Awards, you probably witnessed Swarovski’s most outlandish performance (and most over-the-top excitement in awards show history).

Who shines on the main stage? That’s thanks to the 45 million crystals that adorn the stage. The entire exhibit took over 3,000 hours to create and the final weight was around 7,800 kilograms.

And I think diamond earrings are heavy.

9. Happy Birthday Mr President

Another of Swarovski’s most famous (or most infamous) moments was once again with a famous blonde, Marilyn Monroe. One of the most iconic moments in Marilyn Monroe’s history is her sultry performance of “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden.

Where is Swarovski in this? Monroe wore a sheer nude gown decorated (or rather sewn on) with 2,500 crystals. The highlight was that the dress seemed to melt, leaving only the sparkle of crystals and Marilyn Monroe at her most sensual. Discover the best Swarovski jewellery
