Swarovski gifts

Crystal gifts are an excellent idea for fashionistas and collectors. Of course if you want to give the best I would recommend Swarovski’s crystal creations.

Swarovski is one of my favourite shops in Paris. There are several Swarovski stores in the capital, but my preferred one is the one on Rue Bonaparte. It is a beautiful store where you can find the most amazing crystal jewellery, figurines & collectibles, fashion accessories and house decoration items like chandeliers and sculptures in crystal.

For those not familiar with Swarovski,I can tell you that since 1895, Swarovski has been one of the world’s premiere crystal manufacturers. Worldwide Swarovski is known for its luxury yet affordable products. This is one of the reasons why Swarovski gifts are a very good option when you are looking for an original gift for a special person.

Original Swarovski products are marked with the Swarovski logo. The original logo was an edelweiss flower which was later replaced in 1988 by the Swan logo. However, in latest products the Swarovski Swan logo is being replaced by the Swarovski name.

What makes Swarovski crystals so valuable and looked-after worldwide is its careful crafting and cutting of the crystal glass, as well as the rainbow slick appearance of its final products.

During Paris fashion week fall winter 2010-2011 Lanvin’s designs sparkled with Swarovski crystals.  Have a look at the video below and you will see by yourself how Swarovski crystals add a touch of elegance to a little black dress.  Whether it is in the form of outsized jewellery or Swarovski crystals added to the dresses as decoration, Lanvin glitters with Swarovski.

If you want to treat a Fashionista, nothing better than giving her some Swarovski jewellery to brighten up her little black dress of the season.

For those who love classic elegance there is the Swarovski Angelic Sapphire Set

This exquisite set radiates feminine elegance. It includes a pendant and a pair of pierced earrings. Sparkling in bright and refreshing Sapphire crystal with a touch of clear crystal pavé, this piece is perfect for any occasion. The pendant hangs on a rhodium-plated snake chain.

This is the perfect gift for an elegant and fashionable girl.

For those who love home decoration I recommend the Darose, Crystal Red

Flowers are always a wonderful gift, very much appreciated despite their short life. If you want your flower to last forever, I recommend you treat that special person to a crystal rose.

This beautiful rose featuring ten delicate and shiny petals in the shape of little hearts form a beautiful flower, perfect for a romantic table decoration.

If you want to surprise someone who collects ornaments you cannot go wrong with the Swarovski's 2010 annual edition of holiday ornaments.  Swarovski's figurines are highly collectible, from its first stylized mouse to its latest holiday ornaments. 

Angel Ornament, Annual Edition 2010
This magnificent clear crystal angel is embellished with delicate Golden Shadow crystal stars. It can be hang on a Christmas tree using the white satin ribbon, or you can remove the ribbon and use it as a sparkling table decoration. This beautiful keepsake makes a much-appreciated gift.
