Swarovski Collectibles

Swarovski jewelry and crystal miniatures are highly sought after by collectors and their value increases year on year, with some pieces such as the Swarovski Silver Crystal range being particularly highly prized. For example the Lovebirds in this range have increased around 3000% in value since their release and many other limited editions are continuing to follow suit. To ensure that they are genuine all Swarovski sculptures are marked with a logo, this was originally an edelweiss flower but was replaced by the current swan logo in 1988.

Apart from the monetary value Swarovski pieces are natural collector's items in their own right, as they are stunningly beautiful and make talking-point displays in any home, office or exhibition environment. The crystals are unique as, in order to maximize refraction and to give Swarovski its magnificent sparkle, the crystal contains around 32% lead. Some of the crystals are also coated in order that they refract a rainbow spectrum.

Apart from the miniature collectibles Swarovski also produces beautiful jewelry pieces and individual crystal beads, which it encourages other designers to incorporate into both their own necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry but also into their couture. Wedding dresses and evening gowns, often make use of these versatile crystals which make full use of the light to sparkle and dazzle for a signature piece.

The Swarovski Collectors Society continues to rapidly expand around the world and thus it would seem that there will be no slowdown in the rise of the value of all the pieces. Acquiring Swarovski now, whilst there is a chance of some items being sold at reasonable prices, should ensure a highly valuable collection going forward.
