THE HISTORY OF Swarovski
CRYSTAL IS FAMOUS FOR its hypnotising beauty and has been sculpted, polished and designed into jewellery and fine art for many years. Swarovski, synonymous with quality and style, have been the leaders and innovators of cut crystal for over 100 years.
THE BEGINNINGS OF A NAME
Daniel Swarovski was born in 1862 in Jablonec, Bohemia, a town north of Prague in today’s Czech Republic. Considering Jabolnec’s long history of cutting and polishing stone for the jewellery industry, and Daniel’s father owning and running a small crystal cutting factory, it’s not surprising that as a young boy, Daniel dreamt of cutting and creating beautiful pieces from crystal.
He loved to watch his father work
