So how can you tell genuine Swarovski from fakes? From the Swarovski website:

"Swarovski products have a visible Swarovski logo. The products manufactured between1976 and 1988 have an SC logo in block format. Products manufactured since 1988 either have an SCS logo or the Swan logo on them. Some older pieces may have very faint logos. In some cases, the logo may have been hidden behind an adhesive surface."

The Swarovski company runs a crystal-themed indoor theme park, Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal World) near Innsbruck, Austria.
