How to Clean Swarovski Jewelry
A look behind the iconic brand known for alluring crystals, plus tips on how to keep Swarovski jewelry sparkling
Swarovski, an accessible luxury line of contemporary jewelry, is known for its dazzling crystals, but the brand’s collaborations with high fashion makes Swarovski iconic in the jewelry world. The brand was born in 1892, when Daniel Swarovski, a glass cutter, invented a machine to cut crystals with flawless precision in any color and a variety of cuts, and do it all at scale.
The brand offers a diverse range of products, including jewelry, accessories, home decor, and lighting. But its collaborations over the years with legends like Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe in There’s No Business Like Show Business really put the brand on the map. Fashion houses like Schiaparelli, Lanvin, Prada also collaborated with the brand, while Victoria’s Secret, Supreme, and Nike kept Swarovski at the forefront of culture.
If you’re lucky enough to own a piece of Swarovski jewelry, you’ll want to keep it sparkling forever. Here’s how.
Step 1: Start with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. Remove blue cap. Wet brush. Twist silver base until blue cleaner shows on brush. Gently scrub the crystals and metal parts of your jewelry, paying extra attention to areas with accumulated dirt or grime. Rinse brush. Rinse jewelry.
Step 2: Finish with the Diamond Dazzle Cloth, wiping for a dry, lint-free, polished look. Feel free to use the Diamond Dazzle Cloth after each wear to gently wipe your Swarovski jewelry. This will remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints, helping to maintain its sparkle.
