Every Swarovski Crystal is created in Austria, born in the Swarovski Manufaktur factory, and crafted under one roof. The precise formulas behind Swarovski Crystals - over 5,000 unique variations of atomic structure - remain closely guarded secrets. The result? Approximately 300,000 varieties of crystal cut, color, and effect, with over 135 different hues covering the entire spectrum of human vision. Since 1895, the finesse and precision of Swarovski pieces has become so renowned that the global repute of the Austrian crystal industry can be said to originate from its home in the Tyrolean countryside.
Today, Swarovski’s exacting skill in cutting and polishing techniques combines with its distinct savoir-faire in jewelry-making. Unique jewelry is created in-house, showcasing Swarovski Crystal in complex plays of shape and form, alongside exceptional home objects and components for fashion, an entire panorama of creation.
Part atelier, part laboratory, this chamber represents a fusion of the logic of science with the magic of creation. Exemplifying this union are exceptional hybrid jewelry-couture pieces, created by Swarovski Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert for the 2024 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, a shining testament to Swarovski’s outstanding artisanship.
