Care Advice
CARING FOR YOUR CRYSTAL
Swarovski crystal is a delicate material that must be handled with special care. Swarovski will not be held liable for any damages incurred after the receipt of products. To ensure that your Swarovski product remains in the best possible condition over an extended period of time, please observe the advice below to avoid damage.
JEWELRY AND WATCHES
All Swarovski fashion jewelry is traditionally crafted and therefore very delicate. The metal is plated and each crystal is individually set. As a result, special care is required. Please follow the advice below.
Store your jewelry in the original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratches.
Polish your jewelry frequently with a soft cloth to maintain its original, lustrous finish.
Remove jewelry before washing hands, swimming, and/or applying products (e.g. perfume, hairspray, soap, or lotion), as this could harm the metal and reduce the life of the plating, as well as cause discoloration and loss of crystal brilliance.
Put on jewelry last when dressing and take off first when undressing.
Avoid contact with water.
Avoid hard contact (i.e. knocking against objects) that can scratch or chip the crystal.
For watches, please refer to the certificate and operating instructions manual here.
HANDBAGS AND ACCESSORIES
Leather is a natural material that evolves over time. To preserve its original appearance, Swarovski recommends that you treat leather products with care and avoid direct contact with grease, water, perfumes and/or make up in order to prevent stains.
Avoid overloading leather and fabric accessories, as this can cause them to lose their original shape.

Dry with a soft, lint free cloth to maximise brilliance.
Avoid contact with harsh, abrasive materials and glass/window cleaners.
When handling your crystal, it is advisable to wear cotton gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE
Due to various reasons (including, without limitation, different jewellery collections in USA, Asia, Europe and for our Travel Retail business, different taxes, different price structure, local legal requirements, logistic reasons) Swarovski does not have an international exchange or refund policy. As a result, we are thus unable to exchange, substitute or refund products purchased abroad.

Watches
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Please do not attempt to replace the battery of your Swarovski watch by yourself. Please entrust your watch to an authorised Swarovski retailer that offers Swarovski watches, to a watchmaker or to a jeweller who will replace the battery for you.
STRAP REPLACEMENT
Please do not attempt to replace your Swarovski watchstrap by yourself. Please entrust your watch to an authorised Swarovski retailer that offers Swarovski watches, who will replace your strap for you.
METAL PARTS ON WATCHES
Swarovski watches are embellished with premium quality Swarovski crystals.
The metal components of Swarovski watches are made of 316L stainless steel, an extremely durable metal alloy that is virtually immune to rust, discoloration and corrosion. Nickel, composed of encapsulated nickel molecules, is also part of this composition. The alloy is therefore classified as anti-nickel allergenic. All materials used for Swarovski watches comply with European regulations on nickel release. In spite of this, in some very rare cases, allergies to Swarovski watches may occur due to high skin sensitivity to nickel. If this happens to you, the company recommends that you cease wearing Swarovski watches.
