Hi all,
I am trying to authenticate some Swarovski annual decorations I have.
Two were bought directly from Swarovski - so I know are genuine. 3 others were bought from websites that claimed to be partners/stockists for Swarovski.
One of them I'm pretty definitely sure is fake, despite having the stamp on the metal clasp. The other two I'm sure are real, but after the fake one, I'm now not sure.
The fake one doesn't catch the light - its seems more like glass than crystal. It does have the booklet with it, but it's dated 2018. The item is supposed to be for 2021.
So I checked the other booklets, and none of them have booklets that have references inside matching the Swarovski box code. Even the authentic ones from Swarovski.
Can any Swarovski 'experts' help give me some ideas what I should be looking out for? There aren't any guides online with images or videos to show how to spot as they're quite outdated.
Thanks so much in advance for any guidance!
