Daniel Swarovski was born in Bohemia, Austria. His father was a glass cutter, like many in the mountainous area where he lived, and Daniel first learned the art of glass cutting in his father's small factory. He was educated in Paris and Vienna before returning to the Tyrol, with its abundance of clean fresh water, to establish his Swarovski Crystal business. 
 Following a visit to the International Electrical Exhibition in Vienna in 1883, Daniel realized that this new form of energy would transform industrial production and it led him to invent the world’s first electric-powered crystal cutting machine. His machine produced a level of clarity in crystal creation that had never been seen before, and enabled him to deliver on his vision of bringing luxury to all. He revealed the magic held within precision-cut crystals that allowed everyone - including the most glamorous women in the world – to shine with a new radiance. The House of Swarovski was born.
Daniel Swarovski was also an innovative leader in his business practices, establishing principles of fairness for communities, and the environment, that are still a guiding light for Swarovski today.​  In particular he knew that water was crucial to Swarovski’s success, and must be treated as a precious resource. 
Now, more than ever, we understand water’s role as the source of all life on earth. To honor Daniel’s legacy, the Swarovski Waterschool program was established in Austria in 2000, and has since evolved to become a global initiative operating within watershed areas of the world’s major rivers. 
This work has ensured access to clean water for schools across the globe, and educated communities on sanitation, hygiene, and water conservation issues. Swarovski Waterschool empowers children to become water ambassadors by providing tools and training to address their local challenges.

At Swarovski, we believe in transparency and the importance of being aware of history.

An Austrian economic historian was commissioned by the Swarovski family to write a book about Daniel Swarovski, the company’s founder, covering his life from 1862 to 1956. The family guaranteed the historian complete autonomy in his research, ensuring that his work was conducted without any influence or limitations. To aid in his investigation, the family provided unrestricted access to their archives. The book, titled “Es hätte können, alles ganz anders kommen….”, will be published by Böhlau in 2025.

While we cannot eradicate history, we can make sure that we learn from it, ensuring that our actions today are a force for good and drive positive change. Swarovski proudly and firmly stands for peace and humanity. Our mission is to make the world shine bright, which includes the light that comes from tolerance, inclusivity, and kindness.
