Thanks to Daniel Swarovski, Austria holds a place in the hall of fame for rhinestone jewelery. He moved his company from Bohemia to Austria in the early 1900’s. All of the top costume jewelers (Chanel, Eisenberg, Trifari, Sherman, Sciaparelli) in the twentieth century, used Swarovski crystals. The swarovski crystals are known to be the most brilliant and finest of all rhinestones. Austrian firm Schoffel & Co. began producing high quality costume jewelery in the thirties and continued into the sixties. This jewelery was marked with words “Austria” or “Made in Austria”.
