Swarovski crystal was born on the edge of XIX and XX centuries. The manufactory was opened by Daniel Swarovski, who, after many years of consistent work with this material, first managed to create unique instruments that allowed to make the mechanical cutting of the crystal, and then enhanced the very crystal, that was not afraid of mechanical processing, and besides stood out in the group of other types of crystal by its purity similar to the purity of diamond.
Daniel opened the first factory “Swarovski” in 1900 after the crucial success of his crystal jewelry in Europe. That’s how brand “Swarovski” appeared on the market of precious stones and jewelry. Now this family business has several directions in development. In XX century Swarovski started working in fashion business, in optics, and crystal miniatures production. It’s interesting that the club of “Swarovski Miniatures” collectors accounts up to 400 000 people around the world.
In 1965 Swarovski started a new business venture “Swarovski components” that produces high-quality crystal ornaments for lighting fixtures. Chandeliers with Swarovski are unique in their nature: the special polishing of each crystal makes it shining with all colors of rainbow. Nowadays, chandeliers with Swarovski crystal became the real pearls in such famous places like Metropolitan Opera (New York), Windsor and Versailles Palaces.
Swarovski took care of its copyrights – each crystal of the highest quality bears a special hologram with “Swarovski” logo. If you see this sign on the crystal, you can be sure it’s genuine.
Swarovski stands up for the optical purity and ideal polishing of each even the smallest crystal that leaves the factory. Each crystal comes through a thorough multilevel checking of inner defects and the quality of polishing, and then is registered.
It’s importance to note that the crystal chandelier is not only the beautiful piece of art, but also the bearer of the positive energy coming from each crystal pendant. According to ancient Feng Shui theory crystal attracts positive and cheerful energy, making your rooms cozy and peaceful.

By: dimitri | 22/05/2007 | Finance
Considering that the current bank rate is 5.5% , interest rate of 4.7% sounds improbable. Administrative workers and teachers applying for a loan are more likely to receive a low-interest rate due to their perceived job stability than some of the higher-paid jobs with more limited job markets.
