Everything that glitters is not gold, but sweetheart, it can be Swarovski.
Crystals go with the name Swarovski as the sun goes with sand and champagne with caviar, and this has been the case for some 120 years. Yes, Swarovski crystals are tantamount with the notions of timeless beauty and elegance.
For the last 12 decades, the celebrated Swarovski name has been at the forefront when it comes to cutting edge and timeless jewellery trends, especially crystal jewellery.
But who is behind the face of Swarovski crystals, and how did Swarovski crystals become instant stars in the jewellery world?
The Swarovski Crystal Beginnings
Daniel Swarovski was born in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, in 1862 into a crystal-cutting family. Some twenty years later, Daniel established a jewellery company, and just three years later after the company had opened, he had well over 70 employees.
To say that Swarovski found fame immediately is an understatement. With a large workforce behind him in just a matter of years and a lineup of celebrity clients, including Queen Victoria, Daniel Swarovski’s name soon became synonymous with crystals. Every time someone mentioned these semi-precious stones, it was always as “Swarovski crystals”.
A few years later, he created a crystal-cutting machine and registered a patent for it, prompting him to move production from Bohemia to Austria.
Keeping up with the Trends
Like any good businessperson, Swarovski was able to spot emerging trends. In 1911, the family built a premium glassworks factory to cater to the aristocratic demands of Europe. A decade later, “flapper fashion” and short severe women’s haircuts inspired the Swarovski crystal-embellished headband that still remains iconic to the era.
Post-WWII, Daniel Swarovski recognised a niche in the market for better precision optics; this ultimately led to the family founding Swarovski Optik, which specialised in glass manufacturing, creating lenses, telescopes, and binoculars.
Couture Explosion
It didn’t take long after WWII for fashion to come to the forefront once again. It was during that period that some of the greatest names in fashion emerged, including some of our favourites like Chanel and Dior, all of whom were eager to snap up Swarovski crystals for its designs.
And as fashion houses skirmished to get their hands on Swarovski crystal designs en masse, Swarovski crystals were being worn by some of Hollywood’s leading ladies both on and off-screen.
Marilyn Monroe wore Swarovski crystals in the Hollywood hit “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”. The late bombshell then was later seen wearing them while famously singing “Happy Birthday” to JFK. The iconic ruby slippers in the Wizard of Oz were decorated with Swarovski jewels and the crystals also made appearances in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Sabrina” and were rumoured to be Audrey Hepburn’s favourite jewels to wear.
Swarovski Crystals and the new Millennium
Come 2000, Swarovski gave the traditional Swarovski crystal a makeover, introducing a pearl with a crystal core. This provided the jewel with the elements of a natural pearl, such as weight, texture and shine and the excellent quality of the crystals.
Today, Swarovski crystals are well known and are still very much coveted. The brand permeated the jewellery market over a century ago and continues to partner with some of the world’s most established fashion and jewellery designers to push the boundaries of crystal design. Swarovski trainers anyone?
Therefore, it’s no surprise that esteemed jewellery designers, such as Caroline Svedbom, have chosen to partner up with Swarovski crystals and incorporate these semi-precious stones into their own pieces.
