Who is Swarovski?

Daniel Swarovski, formerly David Swartz, was the son of a glass cutter in Bohemia, where he became skilled in the art of class-cutting.  In 1892, he invented and patented a revolutionary electric cutting machine, using hydro-electricity,  that was used in the production of crystal glass.  This allowed crystals to be cut more precisely than by hand. Swarovski is now a fifth generation family-owned business with over 25,000 employees.
Swarovski has two major businesses: 1) producing and selling loose elements to the industry, and 2) creating precision-cut crystals for jewelry, figurines, and home decor.   In 1956, together with Christian Dior, Swarovski developed the “Aurora Borealis” effect, which gives a shimmering rainbow sparkle to the crystals.  In 1977, Swarovski launched their own jewelry collection including watches. Swarovski crystals are seen in the fashions of top designers, including D&G, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton with their crystals and crystal mesh fabric adorning many fabulous creations.
In 1995, Swarovski opened a museum in Austria showcasing  the extensive Swarovski collection
Swarovski created the 9′ diameter, 550 pound star that sits on top of the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in New York City  every year  since 2004.

What is Swarovski Crystal?

Swarovski crystals are man-made gems manufactured in Austria. In 1892, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine for making precision-cut, beautiful, high quality lead glass crystals using quartz, sand, and minerals.  The exact proportions of these raw materials has remained a company secret.   This specialized manufacturing process ensures the highest possible degree of precision which produces brilliant crystals.  For five generations, the Swarovski family has continued the tradition of making the most recognized crystals in the world out of their factory in Wattens, Austria.

Are Swarovski Silver Crystals made of real silver?

The Swarovski silver crystal line was created by a Swarovski craftsman who was able to capture a silvery shine in the facets of the lead glass crystals. Swarovski Silver Crystals are made using a combination of natural minerals and quartz sand. The crystals are then slowly cooled, which helps avoid stress and imperfections. Swarovski silver crystals have a spectral brilliance that gives them their unique silver color, giving the impression that they are made of real precious metal.

Why are Swarovski crystals more expensive than glass?

The method of production and processing of raw resources are important factors in the quality of finished crystals. Swarovski uses only the finest materials to fashion faceted lead glass that is known around the world for its brilliance and value. Superior production, materials, cutting, and polishing are what set Swarovski crystals apart from other glass works. According to Swarovski, “Cutting hard materials such as crystal and gems, in such a way that they have a hundred identical facets in several directions, is a very complicated task; each direction of the reflected light must first be calculated by computer, then this has to be simulated in 3D, optimized and finally converted into control programs for complex machinery.”

Brilliant Blue Places to Propose

INDIGO ISLANDS
Your soon-to-be spouse truly loves blue. What could be more romantic than proposing with a sapphire engagement ring in one of the bluest places on earth? From the extreme and exotic to unexpected wonders in your own backyard, here are nine amazing blue locations that provide the perfect backdrop for popping the question.

INDIGO ISLANDS

Floating huts over an azure ocean expanse.

Want to make a memory that will 100% last a lifetime? The “Bluest Place on Earth” is a tiny and remote nation made of more than a thousand islands. Bungalow on your own private lagoon? Romantic dinner overlooking a watery expanse? Endless sunsets set to only the sound of two beating hearts? Check, check—and swoon.

Hanauma Bay | Oahu, Hawaii

This nestled cove just southeast of Honolulu attracts scores of snorkelers with crystal blue waters and vibrant marine life. But what really makes this spot ideal for a proposal is the truly breathtaking sunsets experienced from one of the hills overlooking the bay.

Navagio Bay | Zakynthos, Greece

A breathtaking view overlooking one of the world’s bluest bays.

Locally known as both Shipwreck Beach and Smugglers Cove, this spot contrasts serene blue with sheer white cliffs and a rusted merchant ship ran aground atop stark sand. Beyond the amazing beach, the island itself offers up world-class food and wine plus plenty of history and architecture.

AZURE ABODES

Júzcar, Spain

Paint the town blue.
Paint the town blue.
This whimsical village has a peculiar story. Its traditional, white-washed stucco was targeted to change color in 2011. The reason? A promotional stunt behind the movie, Smurfs. And in a twist ending, the residents voted to keep their blue hue rather than return to tradition. It’s a one-of-a-kind location, whether she’s a fan of animation or just the unusual.

Chefchaouen, Morroco

Photo-ops abound among these saturated streets.

Tucked into the Rif Mountains, this town is the perfect cross-section of tradition and comfort. Its ubiquitous blue walls draw plenty of visitors so expect amazing cuisine (both indigenous and international) and luxe accommodations, plus mosques, souks and other well-preserved local culture.

5 Instagram-Worthy Engagement Announcement Ideas for Fall

Looking for a creative way to announce your engagement this fall? Here are 5 post-worthy ways to announce your engagement, emphasize your unique love and celebrate the season’s festive glory.

1. Seasonal-Spiced Proposal

Your favorite seasonal treat makes an amazing prop for your engagement photos. Head to your local farm and get as funny and whimsical as you want! Pumpkins, apples, spiced cider, mulled wine—the crisp blue sky is the limit.

2. The Paw-fect Pic

Nothing is more “aww!” inducing than including your pet. Take your fur baby on a walk during magic hour and show off your “now” family (whether you’re planning on expanding or not.) The photo session is guaranteed engagement announcement and Instagram gold.

3. Destination: Romance

Springtime in Paris? Try fall—anywhere! Not only are travel costs to popular destinations generally cheaper but you also get 1. fewer crowds and 2. a seasonal taste of local culture. Granted, booking a photographer to catch you in the moment is more complicated but a selfie is just as sweet.

4. Leaf it to Us

This fall-flavored way to announce your engagement highlights the ring with an autumnal twist. Hunt for leaves you each love and combine them. It’s cute, symbolic and the deep fall colors show off your ring’s sparkle.

5. Chalk It Up

Knowing who has the best handwriting is essential for any couple. Well, not really. But if you go for this engagement announcement trend, it helps. Make it unique with a seasonal touch like hay, burlap, candy corn—get creative. Pro tip: wet the chalk or the board for smooth, clear letters.
