The 'Changing' Swarovski Warranty

 The Swarovski Warranty

As we well know, Swarovski doesn't much like dealers and websites that are selling Swarovski figurines and jewelry at prices below their suggested manufactured retail price.  Swarovski receives their profit when orders are placed by retailers, and they pretty much command they sell their products at retail price.  They don't like it if those businesses are willing to operate on a lower profit margin, to keep the products moving through their inventory; and in the past, they have had no compunction to close dealers/retailers down, and/or remove their Swarovski product line from stores who violate this policy.

To further keep Collectors from purchasing their product from retailers and auction sites that are not authorized to sell Swarovski (like eBay and stores who cannot obtain licensing from Swarovski), they will no longer honor the Swarovski Warranty UNLESS the figurines were purchased directly from them, or an 'authorized' Dealer.   If you cannot provide a warranty card, and sales slip from an authorized retailer, showing both purchase price and date of purchase, they will not offer after-sales-services any longer. 
So what does that mean?
It means they won't repair your crystal if you cannot provide such proof, so you need to consciously decide how important that warranty is to you when you purchase their products.
Because CFC is a worldwide club site, we are aware that 'warranty' policies differ depending on the country.
For example, Australia has an open, 'we'll fix it' policy with no restrictions. You just bring the product back to an authorized store, and they send it back. Normally, they do this for no charge or very little expense. The UK has a similar policy, however, there may be restrictions on the period of time you have to return the product for repair.
Here in the U.S., we would call Swarovski North America, receive an authorization number, and pay a $5.00 fee + postage to return the product to them ourselves; supposedly we can now bring the product for repair to an authorized store.  In the past, Swarovski would not repair retired items or NLE's more than 3 years from the date of issue. It's unclear whether or not this policy has changed.
End Result: Pay Full Price for purchases at an 'authorized' dealer to obtain the warranty, or go without the warranty to purchase elsewhere at a more affordable price point. This is especially a more difficult decision when purchasing the more expensive issues.

Giving gifts of Swarovski Crystal could pose a problem, but supposedly Swarovski will honor 'gift' purchases by obtaining a 'gift receipt' from a Swarovski store or an authorized retailer.

As far as I'm concerned, Swarovski is just putting up more roadblocks for Collectors to consider when purchasing their product.

Another Swarovski Ltd Edition Mo in Lovlots Collection Coming Soon!

The newest Swarovski limited edition figurine for 2011 in the Swarovski 'Lovlots' Collection should now be available, issued in celebration the 5th Anniversary of the Swarovski Lovlots collection.   Retail price on the 2011 limited edition Mo is $245. Photos of All the Mo's in our CFC Photo Gallery.

Actually, Swarovski has gone Mo-crazy!

The first Ltd Edition Mo was issued in 2007, Pinky Mo a fully faceted pink crystal cow with unfaceted bell and horns; eyes in Jet Hematite crystal, now Retired.

Pinky Mo Alabaster

Ltd Ed. of 300
Never sold to the public and 'given' to Journalists at Swarovski press / media events.
Body in matte Rose Alabaster, horns and bell in faceted Rosaline Crystal, eyes are Jet Hematite. Issued in 2007

Soccer Mo was introduced and retired in 2008.

A Lovlots cow in Siam Red crystal with White Alabaster crystal horns, wearing a soccer ball around its neck.

Flower Mo

Floral print in rose, white, yellow and green on fully faceted Light Peridot crystal body. Horns and bell are White Opal crystal. This Limited Edition was available online only.  Issued and Retired in 2009.

Halloween Mo

Created in Red Topaz crystal with Jet crystal highlights, it was a limited one-time production and only available from October 1 until Halloween, 2009.

Belle Mo, issued in 2010, larger than the other Mo's, with body, head and ears in fully faceted Lavender crystal. Horns in Medium Sapphire crystal, bell in White Opal crystal; her eyes are in Jet Hematite crystal, and a flower print is in shades of blue on both sides of the body.


Also issued in 2010, the Ltd Edition Country Mo's, the first pair of cows

in clear crystal with brown and black print respectively. The brown cow has Light Smoked Topaz crystal horns and Jet Nut eyes, while the black cow has Jet horns and Jet Hematite eyes. Both wear a little Crystal Aurum bell. Another One-time production that was only exclusively available at Swarovski online while stocks lasted.

Glamour Mo's

The first pair of female & male Mo's.
Female Mo is in Platinum White Desert Glow crystal, wearing a pearl necklace highlighted with a Golden Shadow crystal bead.
Male Mo in Jet Hematite crystal with a Chrome crystal bow tie.
2010 year of production is located on the bottom of each piece.
Retired in 2010.

Additionally, there are a few 'prototypes' out there too. One that we know of is Golden MO
and it is an EXTREMELY RARE Prototype - there might be no more than 3 pieces available worldwide and it left
the Swarovski factory in error (in other words, someone took it out the back door). It was Never Issued to the public and it was produced during the 2007/2008 timeframe. One of our very own lucky Crystal Fanatics has this in their collection!

The Swarovski LovLots

House of Cats


The Swarovski LovLots


In 2006, Swarovski introduced the LovLots Collection with figurines consisting of small crystal animals; camels, cats, dogs, etc.

In 2006, the Limited Editions were introduced, beginning with Shady, the black sheep at a list price of $35.00. Shady is now worth $195.00!

Pinky Mo, a pink crystal cow limited edition was introduced in 2007.
In the same year a very limited edition of 300 was issued, to the media/journalists, but never sold to the public, a pink Alabaster Mo. This will be a highly sought after piece and will undoubtedly go up in value. The body is in matte Rose Alabaster, horns and bell in Rosaline Crystal.

Then, in 2008, a collection of colored crystal dogs was introduced.
In 2008, another limitd edition cow (Mo) in Siam Red crystal with White Alabaster crystal horns, and a soccer ball around its neck, was introduced. Also in the same year, another limited edition, Violetta, a Faceted Violet Crystal Poodle with neck and tail in faceted clear crystal became available. Limited editions are 'limited' to the year of issue. Both pieces originally sold for for $75, now worth $125.00.

In 2009, Swarovski introduced the House of Cats (shown), in colored crystal. Then, yet another Mo. Flower Mo flaunts an exclusive floral print in rose, white, yellow and green presented on her fully faceted Light Peridot crystal body. Her horns and bell feature White Opal crystal. She could only be ordered on the Swarovski site.

Yet another Mo is scheduled to be released during October 2009 only. Can You Guess What it will be?
