Austria, Since 1895
Title:The History of Swarovski
Subtitle:As soon as Swarovski Crystals were introduced to the world, they exerted a mysterious fascination, combining precision cutting with the natural beauty of sunlight and the night sky. Daniel and his sons instinctively collaborated with couturiers, who were, in turn, inspired by the creative possibilities of Swarovski’s ever-evolving materials. The most distinctive were the iridescent Aurora Borealis crystals, which became the signature embellishment of Christian Dior in the 1950s.
Glittrande höjdpunkter
Title:Swarovskis tidslinje
Subtitle:Glittrande höjdpunkter är inte bara begränsade till mode och smycken. Swarovski-kristaller har lyst upp scenen och filmduken och till och med vägen genom partnerskap med BMW och Mercedes. Betydande ögonblick i vår historia är kopplade till filantropi, särskilt genom initiering av miljö- och etikprojekt och partnerskap.

Title:Swarovskis hantverksskicklighet
Subtitle:Varje design, varje kollektion, hyllar grundaren Daniel Swarovskis hängivenhet till kreativ excellens och strålar av vårt magiska savoir-faire.
Swarovskis omisskännliga savoir-faire – i kombination med en ständig strävan efter innovation – har inspirerat samarbeten med de största namnen inom mode, film och musik i nästan 130 år, vilket har gjort företaget till en ledande och bestående influens inom populärkulturen.
Djärva designer
Giovannas tillvägagångssätt för att skapa med kristaller är, med ett ord, djärvt. Hon låter stenarna tala för sig själva och stylar dem för att utnyttja deras naturliga inre ljus. Och att leka med färg. "För mig är färg väldigt viktigt för kollektionen och något som jag personligen älskar", förklarar Giovanna. "Det vackra är att det redan är inbäddat i själva kristallen."
Kreativ ledning
År 2020 anställde Swarovski en företagsomfattande Creative Director för första gången i sin historia. Giovanna Battaglia Engelberts första kollektion, Collection I, innehöll halsband, örhängen, ringar och kroppskedjor, med betoning på färg och geometri. Den fick sitt namn efter artikel nr 1, den första kristallen som Daniel Swarovski någonsin skissade, och inspirerades av hans handritningar av kristaller.
A Golden Era of Light & Color
Throughout the decades, Swarovski’s unparalleled savoir-faire gave rise to trends and collaborations with dozens of fashion houses and designers including Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli. As our brand and reputation grew, so did our offering and creativity as we mastered bold new cuts including oval navette and elegant baguette cut crystals. We embraced the spirit of each passing zeitgeist, creating opulent pieces of glamorous jewelry that adorned celebrities, socialites, and all discerning lovers of luxury.
Extravagance for Everyone
When Daniel Swarovski first produced his brilliant crystals, he changed the way the world perceived diamonds and jewelry. At a time when jewelry was worn only by the wealthy elite, Daniel recognized crystal's potential to infuse luxury and glamour into everyday jewelry and fashion, and have an empowering effect on women from all walks of life. His vision reshaped the fashion landscape, offering opulence to the masses.
Mesmerizing Collaborations
For almost 130 years, Swarovski has turned heads on the red carpet and runways. From Oliver Rousteing’s first haute couture collection for Balmain to McQueen’s Swarovski Crystal Catsuit for the Deliverance show, technical innovation and savoir-faire keeps Swarovski at the forefront of fashion. When Donatella Versace was asked what Swarovski Crystals added to her unmistakable designs, she replied: ‘They add magic to every fabric.’
Swarovski & Dior: Partners in Style
The enduring partnership between Swarovski and Dior has produced some of the most captivating pieces in fashion history. Throughout the 1950s, crystals embellished many of Christian Dior’s most iconic designs, but in 1956, the partnership reached new heights with the creation of the Aurora Borealis effect. Named after the Northern Lights that deeply inspired Daniel, its unique reflective properties brought unprecedented movement and color to Dior’s couture creations. From Yves Saint Laurent to John Galliano, the Aurora Borealis crystal effect continues to delight fashion’s most brilliant minds with its creative possibilities.
Swarovski in Fashion
The birth of Swarovski in 1895 coincided with the dawn of haute couture, so Daniel would travel to Paris’s first fashion houses, collaborating with everyone from Jean Patou to Pierre Cardin on new cuts and colors of crystals. His creations were a huge hit, and since then designers have relied on Swarovski Crystals to embellish their most dazzling looks for collections in New York, London, Paris, and Milan.
Swarovski on Stage & Screen
The story of Swarovski in entertainment goes back almost one hundred years to the early days of Hollywood, when its crystals made their debut in the Marlene Dietrich film Blonde Venus (1932). Fast forward to 2023 and Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour when the iconic singer opened her performance in Amsterdam in a breathtaking Iris van Herpen custom look embellished with thousands of Swarovski Crystals.
Swarovski Rocks
Through the ages of rock and roll, Swarovski has proudly shared the stage with many legendary showmen, creating decadent, fabulous costumes for Elvis, Elton John, and Queen. In 1972, Elvis Presley’s costume designer chose Swarovski Crystals to catch the light, creating the most famous glittering white jumpsuit in musical history. Elton, a devotee of sequins, feathers, and crystal-enrobed outfits, regularly collaborated with fashion designer Bob Mackie, and together the pair created dozens of spectacular costumes that would come to define Elton’s visual identity right up until his final tour.
