CARE ADVICE

Swarovski crystal is a delicate material that must be handled with special care. Swarovski will not be held liable for any damages incurred after the receipt of products. To ensure that your Swarovski product remains in the best possible condition over an extended period of time, please observe the advice below to avoid damage.

All Swarovski fashion jewelry is traditionally crafted and therefore very delicate. The metal is plated and each crystal is individually set. As a result, special care is required. Please follow the advice below.

Store your jewelry in the original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratches.

Polish your jewelry frequently with a soft cloth to maintain its original, lustrous finish.

Remove jewelry before washing hands, swimming, and/or applying products (e.g. perfume, hairspray, soap, or lotion), as this could harm the metal and reduce the life of the plating, as well as cause discoloration and loss of crystal brilliance.

Put on jewelry last when dressing and take off first when undressing.

Avoid contact with water.

Avoid hard contact (i.e. knocking against objects) that can scratch or chip the crystal.

For watches, please refer to the certificate and operating instructions.

Polish your product carefully with a soft, lint free cloth or clean it by hand with lukewarm water. Do not soak your crystal products in water.
Dry with a soft, lint free cloth to maximise brilliance.
Avoid contact with harsh, abrasive materials and glass/window cleaners.
When handling your crystal, it is advisable to wear cotton gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.

It is very easy to exchange the refill of your Swarovski Crystalline ballpoint pen, USB pen, or mechanical pencil. Simply follow the instructions in the short videos on Swarovski.com

We recommend that you clean your Swarovski jewelry on a regular basis to keep it fully functional and sparkling.

REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS

Please call our customer care or visit any official Swarovski Boutiques for replacement and repairs.

Swarovski offers a full statutory warranty for pieces purchased from Swarovski retailers as well as online. The warranty covers manufacturing and material defects due to normal wear and use.

Each defective product under warranty will be examined and evaluated by Swarovski's technical experts. Depending on the circumstances, the product may be repaired with a fee (limited to watches only), replaced with the same product or substituted with a product of comparable value.

In the case of a product substitution, Swarovski is unable to guarantee that the exact same product or design will be provided.

Swarovski will not repair, replace or substitute any goods that have been subject to an accident, normal wear and tear, abuse, modification, attempted repair, negligence or misuse.

If a piece is not covered by the terms of the Swarovski warranty policy, the company may offer a repair service subject to a fee (this service is limited to watches only). Please note that a defective piece can only be repaired if:

  • The product is a genuine Swarovski product with the Swarovski Swan logo
  • The repair is feasible - it must be possible to bring the product back to its original pristine condition
  • Spare parts are still available (this is usually not the case if a product is out of production)

If you would like to replace or repair an item, please bring the product in its original packaging to a Swarovski retailer. Please note that this repair service is also available for Swarovski products that are purchased abroad.

PRODUCTS

Since 1989, all genuine Swarovski products feature the Swarovski Swan logo. Pieces produced prior to this date have a different logo and in some cases, it may only be faintly visible or almost impossible to detect.

You will find the following logos on almost all Swarovski crystal and jewellery products:

Square Silver Crystal SC logo (1976 - 1988)
sCs/SCS logo (Swarovski Crystal Society 1987 - present)
Swan logo (1989 - present)

Special extenders are available for many Swarovski necklaces and bracelets. Your authorised Swarovski retailer or regional Customer Relations Team will be happy to assist you.

Swarovski fashion jewellery is created using top quality Swarovski crystals. All metal parts are plated. The nickel content corresponds to European norms and is tested for nickel allergy.

Developed by Swarovski, this high tech ceramic matrix has outstanding characteristics. Swarovski crystals are freely set by hand without using prongs or glue, thereby offering great design flexibility for a wide range of Swarovski crystals of different shapes and sizes. A ‘crystallised’ look with exceptional brilliance is achieved by the close proximity at which crystals can be set.

Please note that Swarovski generally does not produce custom-designed items but will personalise products offered from our corporate gifts offering. We also offer a personalisation option for the Christmas Ornament, Annual Edition. This customised product may not be returned or exchanged. In case of defective engraved items, the standard replacement process needs to be followed.

The pearls used in the Swarovski Fashion Jewellery collection are simulated pearls and are not natural. Crystal Pearls by Swarovski are pearls made with a crystal core. Their unparalleled harmonious and lustrous shimmer is achieved using a unique coating technology developed by Swarovski. It is the first production method in the world to combine the quality of a perfect crystal core with the exquisite beauty of a pearl coating. The innovative technology by Swarovski gives the pearl a mysterious glow, which appears to be radiating from within the pearl itself. The strictest quality controls help ensure the absolute flawlessness of each Crystal Pearl.

Swarovski produces crystals of the finest quality. The company's name has become synonymous with genuine crystal. Swarovski's specialised manufacturing processes, together with the highest quality raw materials, guarantee the highest possible degree of precision, component quality, consistency and unmatched brilliance.

Swarovski crystal is produced at the company’s traditional production plant in Wattens, Austria, where each crystal is subject to the most stringent quality controls. The exact recipe and the proportion of quartzes, sand and minerals remain a company secret that is part of the legacy of pioneer Daniel Swarovski to his three sons.

The metal parts are mostly gold- and rhodium-plated. In some cases also palladium-plated and with PVD-coated base metal. Swarovski gold jewellery is plated using 23k gold. It is designed with pale yellow gold that has a lustrous, bright and attractive shine. Swarovski rose gold jewellery is plated with 18k rose gold. The colour is achieved by alloying fine gold with copper.

Unfortunately, certificates cannot be replaced. Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase. For products purchased from the Online Shop, the delivery receipt serves as the warranty. You will receive one certificate per online order. Please note that for all online purchases, the invoice or delivery receipt must be presented in order to make any claims regarding the warranty or similar.

Swarovski is one of the world’s largest crystal suppliers to jewelry manufacturers as well as to the clothing and lighting industries. Third party manufacturers mark these products by attaching the ingredient branding label "MADE WITH SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS", or by describing them as "made with Swarovski crystals", or as "Crystallized™". However, these manufacturers may not refer to their products as Swarovski products. Furthermore, these products are not sold by Swarovski and do not necessarily meet its quality standards or qualify for its warranty conditions.
