About Daniel Swarovski

In 1862, Daniel Swarovski was born in Bohemia. Crystal defined life in his parents' home. Bohemia, at that time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was one of the most important manufacturing centers for glass and crystal. Crystal was also cut in his father's small factory.

As a young boy, Daniel watched the work in his father's business. Later he completed his apprenticeship with his father.

At the age of 21, he visited the "Elektrische Ausstellung" (First Electrical Exhibition) in Vienna, where he had the idea of his life. He developed a machine for cutting crystal. Nine years later (1892), he was ready to register a patent. His new machine made it possible to cut crystal to perfection. And it was far faster and more precise than the any manual work to date.

Thus began a new era in the world of crystal. The foundation had been laid for what their company has become today. Daniel Swarovski, together with his brother-in-law Franz Weis, and Armand Kosmann founded Swarovski in 1895.

What are Swarovski Crystal Pearls?
Swarovski Crystal Pearls are created around a crystal core. This crystal core gives the pearl its ideal weight.

Then, the Swarovski Pearl is coated, giving the appearance of a natural pearl, glowing from the inside. The pearl coating developed by Swarovski is applied around the crystal core in pearly, luscious layers.

The Swarovski Crystal Pearl is of the same weight and texture, as a genuine cultured pearl. These crystal pearls feel and look so good that, when created into a lovely pearl dog collar, it offers the look of high quality at an affordable price.
