In 1892, Daniel Swarovski invented a revolutionary machine that allowed crystals to be cut more precisely than with existing manual methods.

In 1895, Daniel Swarovski founds the company in Wattens, Tyrol, with the vision of bringing joy to people through crystal. His guiding principle is still followed by the company today: “To constantly improve that is good.”

Sew-on- crystal-studded ribbons were launched in 1931, providing fashion and accessory manufactures with new design possibilities.

In 1949, SWAROVSKI OPTIK was founded, and went on to become a leading manufacturer of precision optical instruments for hunting and nature observation (binoculars, telescopes, rifle scopes, range finders, and night vision and optronic devices).

In 1965, the first Swarovski crystals for chandeliers and lighting were launched, and in 1977 were registered under the STRASS Swarovski Crystal name. Today they adorn classical chandeliers, such as those in the Palace of Versailles and the Metropolitan Opera, New York, as well as more mordern lights. Swarovski starts to manufacture precision-cut gemstones.

In 1976, the first decorative crystal figurines won the hearts of consumers. Swarovski began machine-cutting cubic zirconia.

As a tribute to the company founder, the Daniel Swarovski couture line was launched in1989.

In 2003, Swarovski developed Crystal Fabric: countless tiny crystals create a delicate shimmer over a variety of materials.

1965年,用于仿水晶吊灯及灯饰的施华洛世奇仿水晶首度面世,并于1977年以STRASS Swarovski Crystal的名字注册商标。目前,这些仿水晶配件可见于凡尔赛宫和纽约大都会歌剧院等文化场所的古典吊灯及不少现代灯饰上。施华洛世奇开始制作精密切割宝石。

1976年,首度推出装饰仿水晶塑像,深得消费者喜爱。施华洛世奇开始切割合成立方氧化锆。
