Kristall Buzz… Swarovski Crystal News Blog by Crystal Exchange
Fascinating Swarovski Crystal blog news featuring articles on new & retired Swarovski figurines & collectibles.
Just as if Swarovski read my last posting wanting to see the Hong Kong Christmas Tree light show….here it is! Swarovski crystal fanatics….you’ve got to see this!
Many Swarovski collectors have either seen, heard of, or own the Swarovski Maxi Swan. It is a massive piece of crystal, measuring 6.5″ high and weighing in at nearly 6.5 lbs.
But the Swarovski crystal Maxi Swan would look like a cygnet in comparison to the creation for the Toronto Santa Claus parade, which was held November 21, 2010 in Toronto, Canada.
Swarovski commissioned a truly gigantic swan float for the event. It is over 8′ tall and adorned with hundreds of thousands of tiny Swarovski stones. The Swarovski float decorator states that she spent 41 hours applying the 22 litres of stones to the float. She would pat handfuls of the Swarovski stone glitter as a time to the swan structure. It must have been a very shimmery swan and had an over-the-top WOW factor in it!

Christmas trees are a holiday tradition for many in the USA. Swarovski offers crystal ornaments to display on or off the Christmas tree each year.

The celebrated Swarovski Christmas tree will again be on display featuring lovely, sparkling Swarovski ornaments.

Swarovski has created the top star on the Rockefeller Center tree since 2004. The first lit Swarovski ornament star was in 2009. This video clip shows the 2009 star.
