Nobody wants to buy a fake SWAROVSKI. Spotting one is incredibly difficult. So difficult that we suggest that you play it safe, and read on.
Sadly, we often get customers in our stores who have bought a SWAROVSKI item online or on holiday at a price that seemed “too good to be true”.
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
It’s upsetting for customers and us because we have to tell them that their item is fake. They feel cheated because they’re left with a poor-quality piece.
Cheap metal and plastic are usually used to make the fakes. The stones will fall out quickly and the metal may turn your skin green or give you a rash.
A true SWAROVSKI item will be made with a hypoallergenic rhodium plate and their signature SWAROVSKI Crystals.
SWAROVSKI isn’t made from sterling silver so there’s no hallmark. They are all beautifully made with their precision cut crystals giving off a dazzling sparkle.
SWAROVSKI will always come with official packaging and an authenticity card.
A genuine SWAROVSKI item will be flawless so when you look inside the crystal, you will not see any bubbles. If you do see a bubble, the item is definitely a fake.

Fake SWAROVSKI Itemsare a Bargain, But Can’t They Look Just as Good?
No, they aren’t a bargain and no they don’t look good. At least not for long.
Here are a few examples:
- It’ll look nothing like the photoyou’ve seen online.
- The stones on the item will hardly sparkle at all and will fall out quite soon.
- The colour will wear off and it’ll fall apart quite quickly.
- Fakes can irritate the skin. The materials used to make it are cheap.
- You won’t have a guarantee or a warranty.
So all in all, it is a waste of time and money in the long run.
Websites offering cheap SWAROVSKI are often run from overseas funding crime and they might be made in sweatshops.
The onlycertain way you can ensure that you are buyinga genuine SWAROVSKI item is to buy from an official retailer like Grace & Co. either here on our website or by visiting one of our stores.
Your item will always come with an official certificate of authenticity as well as branded packaging.
The promise of bargains online, on market stalls or abroad almost always turns out not to be a waste of money.
Stay safe and only buy from genuine retailers. Like us.
FAQs
How do I know if my Swarovski is real?
Swarovski Seal Crystals include cutting-edge security features. Aside from the hologram effect, each seal tag and sticker contains a unique 16-digit code that can be found on the front of the tag or sticker, right beneath the seal.
Does all Swarovski have a mark?
Since 1989, all genuine Swarovski goods have included the Swarovski Swan logo. Pieces manufactured earlier to this date feature a different logo, which may be slightly visible or nearly impossible to discern.
How can you tell the difference between Swarovski crystal and plastic?
Crystal beads are notably heavier than plastic beads because of the lead component. The tactile coolness of crystal is another indicator since plastic warms to the touch more quickly. Crystal beads appear to have more glitter and sharper facet edges than plastic beads.
