Swarovski’s
exquisite 2007 annual limited edition Christmas Snowflake ornament. Designed by
Eva Maria Ried, this ornament is handcrafted in the Austrian Alps by
Swarovski’s legendary skilled artisans. This six pointed, approximately 3
inches diameter star shimmers magnificently on a royal blue satin ribbon
through the top, with attached “2007” dated Rhodium medallion. The
signature “Swan” Logo is etched on
the ornament. There is a beautiful second layer of faceted crystals,
creating an 18 point star. The
brilliant, 32% full-lead genuine Swarovski Crystal from Austria rests
on blue velvet-like material. Mint condition, never
been used or displayed complete with the distinctive triangular gift box,
including certificate of authenticity and second outer box. The value of
Swarovski ornaments is always higher if you have both inner and outer boxes
with the certificate and booklet. Swarovski

Swarovski created a tradition with this Collection by issuing a Christmas Snowflake or Star Ornament each year (starting in 1991) in a strictly Limited Edition.
- All odd numbered years are stars
- (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 & 2017).

Originally the ornaments were packed in single boxes but Swarovski began double boxed packaging in 1997.
Daniel Swarovski, a Bohemian, created the company in 1895, after inventing an automatic cutting machine. He chose Wattens for his factory as there was a hydroelectric plant nearby which could supply sufficient energy for the grinding process. Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead to maximize refraction. The distinctive Swan Logo represents unparallel quality. It replaced the original edelweiss flower in 1988. Sculptures and snowflakes are etched with this swan. The designer is Anton Hirzinger, who has lived in Kramsach, Tyrol, home of the famous Technical School for Glass Craft and Design, since he was born in 1955. "Even as a child, I was fascinated by glass production and knew at a very early age that when I grew up I wanted to make it my career," says Anton. Anton created the Swarovski Silver Crystal "Pelican" and "Owlet." His greatest achievement so far is the "Centenary Swan" design, a commemorative edition for the company's 100th anniversary in 1995. He has created many of the annual Christmas ornaments.
