The Exciting World of Swarovski Crystals

swarovskijewelryv – This company was founded in 1895. If you look at its history, the creation of Swarovski cannot be separated from the dream of one person, the founder of this company, Daniel Swarovski. As a child, Daniel worked in his father’s small factory, forging, shaping and polishing crystals by hand.

His interest in everything related to crystals began here and ultimately shaped Daniel’s life, leading him to devote himself completely to crystal processing. In 1892, he managed to obtain a patent for a crystal sharpening machine of his own creation, which would ultimately change the way crystals were processed to perfection.

In 1895 the Swarovski brand was born. Together with his partner Armand Kosmann and his sister Franz Weis, Swarovski opened a shop in Wattens, in the West Austrian province of Tyrol.

Making Swarovski what it is today

In 1913, with the help of his sons Alfred, Friedrich and Wilhelm, the company produced high-quality crystals using methods and technology they themselves developed. In 1948, Swarovski again increased its production by producing lenses for optical instruments such as binoculars and telescopes under Swarovski Optik.

Further development of Swarovski occurred in 1976 when their new product “Silver Crystal” was introduced, which became the starting point of the jewelry industry. Swarovski has captured the hearts of many collectors around the world with its various animal pattern decorations and other items. The first animal-shaped ornament, a crystal rat, even became a bestseller at the Innsbruck Olympics in Austria in 1976.
