Renowned for their precision-cut brilliance, their thrilling innovations, CRYSTALLIZED – Swarovski Elements inspire designers, fire imaginations and bring an inner radiance to the heart and soul of every object they touch, every person who wears them.

In 1895, Daniel Swarovski I, a Bohemian inventor and visionary, moved to the village of Wattens, Tyrol in Austria, with his newly-invented machine for cutting and polishing crystal jewellery stones. From this beginning that revolutionised the fashion world, Swarovski has grown to be the world's leading producer of precision-cut crystal, for fashion, jewellery and more recently lighting, architecture and interiors. Today, the company, still based in Wattens, family-owned and run by 4th and 5th generation family members, has a global reach, with some 22.000 employees, a presence in over 120 countries and a turnover in 2007 of 2.56 billion Euros. Swarovski comprises two major businesses; one producing and selling loose elements to the industry and the other creating design-driven finished products.

Swarovski crystal components, known by their product brand names CRYSTALLIZED - Swarovski Elements for fashion and STRASS Swarovski Crystal for architecture and light, have become an essential ingredient of international design. Since 1965 the company has also catered to the fine jewellery industry with precision-cut genuine and created gemstones, and from April 2008 has strengthened this relationship by revitalising and renaming the product brand ENLIGHTENED - Swarovski Elements.
