The founder of swarovski crystal

Swarovski is the largest manufacturer of imitation crystal stone in the world. Since the establishment of 1895, the company has produced nearly100000 different kinds of jewels and gems, and the classic and fashionable imitation crystal has made Swarovski one of the internationally famous brands. Now, the company is managed by the fourth generation family members of the founder, and has sales centers in 32 countries and regions around the world.

Study in adolescence:186210/0/On October 24th, daniel swarovski was born in a small village called George in Iseyama, Bohemia. Local glass making has a long history, and almost every household has a workshop. Since he was a teenager, Swarovski studied gem polishing with his father, and made small stones inlaid with copper to decorate brooches, hairpins, hair combs and other ornaments. Because the gems at that time were completely cut by hand, the production efficiency was very low. 1883, 2 1 year-old daniel swarovski visited the international electric power technology exhibition held in Vienna, and realized that there was a technological revolution going on all over the world, which would completely change the face of industrial production, so he decided to seek a breakthrough in jewelry and gem cutting.

Success in one fell swoop: Nine years later, daniel swarovski successfully invented the first machine for cutting imitation crystal jewelry, and applied for patent registration, ending the history of traditional hand-cutting jewelry and gems. Meanwhile, a new plan is brewing in his mind.

The birthplace of his career: daniel swarovski found an abandoned old factory building in Walden Lake in Austrian Trelley Mountain. He chose another place to start his business because she thought his "inventions and latest creations would be stolen and copied in Georgetown soon." Secondly, George also lacks the hydraulic resources necessary for power generation. " Walden Lake has beautiful scenery and developed transportation, and the newly-built railway tunnel goes directly to Paris. 1895, a few weeks before his 34th birthday, Swarovski left his hometown with his wife and children and started a new life in Walden Lake.

Constant innovation: Swarovski's jewelry stones, known as Terrilechet stones, have quickly opened up the markets in Britain, France, Germany and the United States with their excellent quality and exquisite craftsmanship. After the war, with the rise of women's fashion industry, luxury clothes decorated with imitation crystal jewels became fashionable. Swarovski kept up with the times, mastered all the skills of making imitation crystal jewelry stones and beads, and set up a special imitation crystal clothing department. The first new product is to embed imitation crystal jewels in metal or plastic to decorate evening dresses, shoes, belts, wedding dresses and ballroom clothes. Swarovski has also strengthened its ties with the fashion industry and constantly explored the potential of imitation crystal in fashion. In 1950s, he cooperated with Dior to develop "Northern Lights", which is a kind of coated imitation crystal stone, which can reflect ever-changing colorful rainbow flashes. Today, "Northern Lights" is still a favorite costume decoration for many designers. Swarovski now has100000 crystals of different shapes and colors.

Technical innovation: 1975, Swarovski invented the thermal bonding technology. By using the invented glue that melts when heated, the crystal pattern can be permanently fixed on any fabric by hot pressing.
