In 1895, Bohemian Inventor Danyll, with his latest invention, the crystal stone cutting and polishing machine, moved to the Austrian city of Swarovski, in the county of telluride. Since then, Swarovski has blossomed in the fashion world, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of precision cut imitation crystals, providing elements of imitation crystal for fashion apparel, jewelry, lighting, architecture and interior design. Today, the Swarovski is run by fourth and fifth generation members of the family, with branches in more than 120 countries, employing about 24,800 people and generating turnover of $2.25 billion in 2009. SWAROVSKI's two main businesses are manufacturing and selling imitation crystal elements and designing and manufacturing finished goods. Swarovski has become an essential element of international design. Since 1965, the company has been providing precision cut natural and artificial gemstones for the high-end jewelry industry. The SWAROVSKI's creative spirit is fully demonstrated in its accessories, jewellery and home accessories line, which is available at more than 1,800 Swarovski and counters around the world.
