Swarovski’s final weekend special was the Swarovski Limited Edition Parcel Pendant. According to company advertising several weeks ago, had a maximum production of 500 units. This pendant featured a silver colored chain and setting. It was a clear heart-shaped crystal embellished with light amethyst pave crystals. (The Swarovski system number is 1083012.)
Swarovski hosted four weekend events, which began in mid-November, selling limited edition jewelry This was the second necklace pendant that sold out.
It would be neat to see Swarovski do this weekend event special featuring a special crystal figurine just before Valentine’s day???
Swarovski, a world leader in Swarovski Crystal figurines, jewelry, and fashion, will release a men’s collection in the spring or summer next year. This new men’s collection will consist of rings, bracelets and chains with a focus on steel and black Swarovski gemstones. This is fantastic news for the male crystal fanatics who have traditionally been excluded from Swarovski’s jewelry line. Swarovski cites that the men’s collection will be “secretive, mysterious, and metallic.”
The world renowned crystal company mentions names of the five new Swarovski men’s jewelry collection lines: Nano, Newton, Nevada, Nightfall, New England, and Mooncarbon. Each line focuses on different personalities and embellishing on different elements of a men’s accessory line.
Good luck Swarovski…hoping this is a true hit. Perhaps in the future we’ll see a line designed for teen girls in terms of appeal and price!
I found my first glimpse of the newest future Swarovski limited edition member of the Swarovski Lovlots: Charming Mo. Swarovski Charming Mo is about 3 ¾ tall, and is reddish in color. She sports a removable heart charm celebration the 5th anniversary of the Swarovski Lovlots collection. White hearts are printed on the lower leg area of the figurine. Swarovski system # is 1089201. Retail price on the 2011 limited edition Charming Mo is $245.
Charming Mo is the Lovlots limited edition figurine for 2011. I’m liking the Mo’s, and this one looks like a cutie.
The Swarovski Crystal Society sneak peek for this upcoming release of Lovlots Charming Mo is at the Swarovski web site.
There’s more information on Swarovski Charming Mo at the Crystal Classics web site. Charming Mo won’t officially be available until January, 2011. However, it appears that Crystal Classics is accepting pre-orders, so if you’re wanting to be one of the first to own this Lovlots piece, this might be the site for you!
This amazing tree structure is 30+ meters tall, decorated with 20,000,000+ Swarovski crystals, and 200 Swarovski Ornaments (2010 Annual Editions).
In the evening, several light shows are held daily from the end of November until early January that seemingly bring the Swarovski Christmas Tree to life.
More images and details of the Swarovski Christmas Tree in Hong Kong can be found at the Discover Hong Kong web site.
You can believe I’ll be on the lookout for videos of the Swarovski tree lighting as this will be the closest I’ll ever get to seeing it!
On November 18, 2011, Swarovski Canada and the Toronto Eaton Centre hosted a kick off celebration unveiling the Swarovski Crystal Wish Tree in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. This is the sixth year of the collaboration and Swarovski has donated approximately $100,000 each year to the foundation granting wishes to children and families across Canada.
The crystal giant has a special limited edition Swarovski ornament produced each year for the celebration. The 2010 ornament resembles the Swarovski Samantha Snowflake Ornament (which retired in 2008) with a special inscription applied to the front side. The Swarovski Crystal ornament is just over 1.5″ in height. It comes in the Swarovski blue box, with generic Swarovski certificate, and another card indicating that it is a limited edition figurine. The part number for the ornament is 9400 000 074 (same as Samantha Snowflake) and the system # for the ornament is 1094095 (different from Samantha Snowflake). Only 1200 of the commemorative ornament were produced. These Swarovski crystal ornaments are available at Swarovski gallery stores across Canada and retails for $55, with all proceeds going toward the Children’s Wish Foundation.
I was able to locate information for some of the previous Children’s Wish Swarovski Ornaments:
2007 – limited to 1200. This one is like the Swarovski Twinkling Stars ornament that retired in 2007.
2009 – limited to 1100. This one is like the Swarovski Little Snowflake ornament that retired in 2008.
Overnight, Swarovski emailed Swarovski voucher codes to some people on their email list. The voucher is good only on cyber-Monday. This Swarovski discount can be redeemed for a $20 credit toward a Swarovski crystal purchase exceeding $150 on November 29, 2010.
I’m not sure who all received the discount Swarovski voucher. I am an active Swarovski SCS member and I purchase a couple Swarovski crystal figurines online each year, yet I did not receive the voucher. Another family member, with an expired Swarovski SCS membership, did receive the voucher coupon. Additionally, another family member, with an expired Swarovski SCS membership, did not receive the voucher coupon. To me, it does not matter how Swarovski determined the Swarovski coupon recipient list, I’m glad to have any coupon to be able to save $20 on shopping.

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!
Swarovski Swan ready for the Toronto Santa Claus Parade
I’ll be on the lookout to see if Swarovski does more floats in holiday parades. This piece would be very unique for Swarovski crystal fanatics to have in their collection! By the way….where would you park this thing????
The annual Swarovski 2010 Ornaments are readily available, and by purchasing them well in advance of the holidays, Swarovski collectors are guaranteed the widest choices at the most reasonable prices.
The silver crystal, annual edition Swarovski 2010 Ornament is a stunning design. As tradition stands, it does resemble the unofficial Star / Snowflake motif. According to the Swarovski web site description, it is a clear crystal snowflake, hung by a white satin ribbon, with a silver-tone metal tag inscribed with 2010. The dimensions are approximately 2.5″ wide by 3.25″ tall.
And if you like this ornament, you’ll simply love the SCS Swarovski 2010 Ornament. The SCS Swarovski figurine is identical to the silver crystal 2010 ornament, however, it is ‘golden shadow’ in color and hangs by a cognac-colored satin ribbon. This is a Swarovski Club release and does require SCS membership when purchased from an authorized retailer or directly from the Swarovski web site.
Another limited edition Swarovski ornament that is observed less frequently is an exclusive Swarovski 2010 ornament with red tips. It is a 6-pointed snowflake ornament. The center part of the ornament is clear cut crystal, with the 6 points highlighted in light siam crystal. “2010” is engraved on the front, and the familiar Swarovski swan is imprinted on the metal tag. The ornament hangs from a red satin ribbon and the ornament is packaged in the traditional Swarovski blue packaging. The Swarovski artist credited with the design is Verena Castelein.
Most Swarovski collectors will tell you that Swarovski ornament designs are similar in nature to stars or snowflakes. Oftentimes, Swarovski collectors refer to the annual edition ornaments as Swarovski star ornaments or Swarovski snowflake ornaments.
Since 1991, Swarovski has produced annual edition star / snowflake ornaments to compliment its holiday product offerings. The Swarovski crystal ornament design has been similar since inception. For each year, the ornament year is imprinted on a metal tag attached to the ornament hangs by a satin ribbon. The Swarovski ornaments have 6 to 12 crystal extensions creating a graceful image that shines and sparkles in the light. The packaging for the crystal ornaments is a triangular box, with paperwork included that is specific to the ornament year.
Many retired Swarovski ornaments can be found at Crystal Exchange America’s web site: www.crystalexchange.com . We do have a good supply of listings now. However, with the holiday shopping season now upon us, supplies will diminish, and prices will increase. Whether you are planning to purchase one of the 2010 Swarovski snowflake ornaments or a retired ornament, get your order in soon!
The Swarovski Golden Shadow Lion was released to Swarovski retailers near October 20, 2010. I was excited when mine arrived about a week later. I wanted to share some photos of this newest Swarovski Soulmate release with my collecting friends.
The Swarovski system # is 1092104. The suggested retail price is $960. This magnificent Golden Shadow Lion came with a special black card, cleaning cloth, gloves, and generic blue certificate (like other Swarovski generic certificates). The designer is Mario Dilitz. The Swarovski swan logo is on the back right foot. The stunning Swarovski figurine has dimensions of 6 15/16 x 3 7/8 x 6 7/16 inches and stands on a base of mahogany granite.
Other Swarovski Crystal sculptures in the Soulmates Collection include: Swarovski Maxi Swan, Swarovski Eagle, Swarovski Panther, Swarovski Black Panther, Swarovski Walrus, Swarovski Dolphins, Swarovski Lion, Swarovski Bull, and Swarovski Bear.
Swarovski has introduced another Limited Edition Swarovski figurine. The crystal figurine is the Swarovski Limited Edition Golden Rabbit. The Swarovski system number for the item is 1046377. This Swarovski figurine was produced for the collecting community in China only.
According to the ebay ads I read, the figurine has the inscription “Limited Edition 2011”.
