All About Swarovski
Daniel Swarovski’s goal was to create “a diamond for everyone” when he established his crystal-cutting factory in 1895 in Wattens, Austria.
Since then, the family-owned Swarovski company has maintained that vision, captivating the world with its jewelry, figurines, and accessories created in the same Austrian city.
Swarovski crystals are perhaps best known for their appearances on runways, in movies, and adorning the gowns of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Remember Marylin Monroe’s sheer, stunning “Happy birthday, Mr. President” gown with the plunging neckline? It was covered in – you guessed it – Swarovski crystals.
Swarovski crystals are also represented through some of the most recognized items in popular culture. For instance, Michael Jackson’s iconic white glove was made of Swarovski crystal and sold at auction in 2009 for $350,000. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree features a whopping NINE-foot diameter, 550-pound crystal star courtesy of Swarovski, too.
The first Swarovski boutique opened in London in the 1980s to much fanfare, offering fashion-forward women everywhere the opportunity to purchase gorgeous pieces right in the store.
And providing fuel for lots of window-shopping daydreams.
Caring for Crystal Jewelry
Each crystal featured in every piece of Swarovski jewelry is delicate and traditionally set in plated metal. Thus, it probably comes as no surprise to learn that their earrings require a little extra love.
Here are a few tips on how to care for your Swarovski crystal earrings:
- Always store your earrings in something soft. (The original packaging works nicely!)
- Never clean your crystal earrings with cleaners or water! Polish them with a soft, dry cloth only.
- Wear with care! Avoid contact with hard surfaces that could chip or scratch the crystal.
- Don’t wear your earrings when swimming or in the shower, and avoid contact with hair products, perfumes, soap, etc.
- Best practice: Put on your crystal earrings last after you’re dressed and ready to go, then take them off first when it’s time to change into your jammies at the end of the day.

Say hello to the new go-to earrings you’ll wear with everything!
These round-cut, rhodium plated drop earrings are the perfect “dangle length” to wear with your hair up or down, short or long. They’re dainty enough for daytime wear but bold enough for evening looks.
We think they’d look great with a tailored suit at work or a cozy cardigan and jeans for tooling around town. They’d pair perfectly with any cocktail dress you’ve got, too.

Material: Crystals, Rhodium-plated
2. Kite Cut Stud Earrings

Dimensions: 5/8 x 1/4 inches
Material: Crystals, Gold-tone plated
3. Birthstone Stud Earrings
by Swarovski
No matter what age you’re buying for, birthstone jewelry makes a great gift. That said, these pretty crystal studs totally elevate the birthstone jewelry gift game to a whole different level!
Wear them on their own, or match with other earrings for multiple piercings. No matter how they’re styled, they’re a perfect daily earring to celebrate your individuality.
Dimensions: 1/4 x 1/4 inches
Material: Crystals, Rhodium-plated
4. Blue Crystal Earrings

These octagon cut earrings are so glamourous! The classic cut and pale blue stone are reminiscent of old Hollywood – totally perfect for a movie star on the red carpet. Or royalty waving to the people from a carriage. Or a woman with great taste on her way to work.
Dimensions: 1/2 x 3/8 inches
Material: Crystals, Rhodium-plated
5. Gold Plated Crystal Earrings

If you really want to turn some heads, these pink and gold crystal pyramid cut earrings are just what you need! So modern, so unique, they’d be perfect for the woman whose tastes are as bold as her personality.

Speaking of bold and modern! The orange and gold hue and edgy geometric design of these earrings combine to make a genuinely hypnotic combo. They were just made to be worn to a chic evening function paired with a little black dress.
Is anyone attending an art gallery opening in the near future? You need these earrings.
Length: 1 7/8 x 7/8 inches
Material: Cubic Zirconia, Gold-tone plated
7. Chandelier Earrings
by Swarovski
We love the drama that chandelier earrings bring to any ensemble! These are the perfect specimen of a chandelier earring for their size and the mixture of unique cuts and feminine colors. They’d work beautifully with a sleek, low pony and an ultra-tailored suit.
Dimensions: 4 1/8 x 2 inches
Material: Crystals, Gold-tone plated
8. Crystal Hoop Earrings

9. Constella Rose-Gold Earrings

We LOVE these earrings for their unexpected asymmetrical style. Delicate stones brush your shoulders on one side, creating a sexy evening vibe. At half the length, the other earring plays it safer, but it’s just as alluring.
If you’re not a rose-gold kind of girl, they’re available in matte gold-tone plating, too.
Length: 5 1/4 inches
Material: Rose-gold tone plated, Cubic Zirconia
10. Unique Single Crystal Earring
by Swarovski
If you like to get creative with your accessories, we can’t think of a better piece to add to your collection than this dazzling bubble earring.
It’s sold as a single earring, not as a pair, so the sky’s the limit for how you want to style it. Wear it alone as a statement piece, as the focal point of multiple piercings, or complement it with something completely unexpected.
Length: 7/8 inches
Material: Cubic Zirconia, Gold-tone plated
11. Cushion-Cut Clip Earrings

For the girl who likes her fine jewelry with a side of fun! These playful earrings feature an intriguing purple setting paired with pillowy topaz crystals. (Alliteration is whimsical, too, no?) These clip earrings are sure to bring lots of compliments and smiles to your next dinner party.

Material: Crystals, Aluminum
12. Cubic Zirconia Ear Cuff
by Swarovski
This solitary gold cuff is the ultimate eye-catching accessory to wear alone or as a complement to other pieces. While it’s posh enough for the evening, it would also add a touch of dramatic flair to your everyday wardrobe.
Dimensions: 7/8 x 1/4 inches
Material: Cubic Zirconia, Gold-tone plated
All That Glitters
When dressing for a big event or special occasion, a pair of crystal earrings can make any woman feel like Cinderella getting ready for the ball. In fact, Cinderella’s glass slipper featured in the latest reboot of the classic story is made from a three-piece hand-cut Swarovski crystal! (Not suitable for use on stairs. Or ballrooms.)
But a pair of sparkling crystal earrings can make us feel like a million bucks on those days we don’t even want to get out of our pajamas, too. Of course, we think that every woman deserves to feel like a million bucks every day. But especially on days like that.
Every woman should have the confidence to stand up straight and hold her head high, even if she’s just going to the grocery store. Whether you pair them with a ballgown, a blazer, or a basic pair of jeans, Swarovski crystal earrings are sure to provide that extra boost.
