During this time, Swarovski has created an abundance of exquisite, crystal-cut pieces, which is a testament to its creativity, passion for craftsmanship and continuous innovation. To mark its 125th anniversary, the brand has launched a very special collection as a tribute to its heritage, mastery and innovation – which are at the very heart of the company’s continued success.
THE 125th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION
Swarovski’s 125th Anniversary Collection reimagines refreshed versions of some of Swarovski’s best- selling jewelry products, along with pieces from other categories.
The Collection celebrates the unique DNA of Swarovski by honouring its iconic blue shade. Like no other, this extraordinary deep blue simultaneously encompasses maturity, wisdom and generosity while embodying the everlasting feelings of wonder that are unfolded by the opening of each Swarovski box. Here are some of our favourite highlights from the Swarovski’s 125th Anniversary Collection.
ANNIVERSARY MOUSE, LIMITED EDITION 2020
Since the first “Ur Mouse” was created in 1976, crystal figurines have formed a large part of Swarovski’s heritage. The “Original Mouse” is reimagined in the 125th Anniversary Collection in a modernized style, with shimmering touches of blue.
