How to Identify a Vintage Swarovski Crystal

Sinclair Treasures Jewellery

In 1956, Swarovski, working with Christian Dior, created the Aurora Borealis crystal effect, where a pastel iridescent coating is applied to one side of the crystal, allowing Swarovski to produce its crystals in many different colors. Since then, the finish on vintage crystals has been almost impossible for imitators to duplicate even with modern procedures, although there have been many attempts. If you have your eye on vintage Swarovski, make sure you know you're getting the real thing. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1. • 1
     Check the clarity under a microscope. Vintage Swarovski crystals should not have any interior bubbles, scratches or swirl marks.
   • 2
     Ask for the original Swarovski packaging. Dependent on size, the bulk packages will range from 10 gross to 1/2 gross, in well-branded, sealed envelopes. If the crystals are older than 1969, the package may say "K.S. & Co. Trade Mark." If older than 1949, the package may say "D.S.W. Trade Mark." Between 1970 and 1980, the box read "D.S. & Co." It wasn't until after 1980 that the company started including the word "Swarovski" on its packaging.

     Look for uniformity. Whether you're looking at a piece of jewelry, or just at a handful of crystals, they should all be precisely cut with identical facets pointing up and meeting at the same point.
   • 4
     Let the crystal sparkle in the light. Swarovski vintage crystals were made with special glass compounds that allow them to look more brilliant than imitators and have more intricate cuts.

Special Care For Cameos

Special Care For Cameos

    
Cameos are pieces of art, and must be cared for accordingly. Store your cameo away from heat or bright lights, in a softly lined box, and remember that simple cleaning is probably the best method:

• Dust your cameo regularly with a soft brush.
• While dusting, pay attention to the deep ridges in the cameo where dust is likely to collect. Dust can scratch a cameo, so it is important to keep it as dust-free as possible.
• After dusting you may rinse a shell cameo with warm water, drying it afterward with a soft cotton cloth. Shell cameos are easily damaged, so avoid using soap, harsh cleaners or commercial jewelry cleaners.
• Mother-of-pearl cameos can be cleaned with a mixture of mild soap and warm water before being dried with a soft cloth.

If so, you understand that each and every cameo is a miniature work of art. Whether carved in carnelian shell or the rare sardonyx shell, mother-of-pearl or agate, cameos have an exquisite classic beauty that has held the attention of generations. And cameos make memorable gifts: they're great for graduation, Mothers' Day, Valentines day or your wedding anniversary.
At The Cameo Collection, we sell some of the finest cameos in the world. Imported from the tiny town of Torre del Greco, Italy — which is, to this day, the center of cameo carving in the world — our cameos come directly from master carver Gennaro Borriello, who himself employs fifty trained artisans. This relationship ensures that each hand-carved cameo we sell has been produced by artists whose hands understand the shells they carve and the timeless beauty they create.

Thanks to Anna M. Miller's book Cameos Old & New for these special cleaning suggestions
