Vintage & Discontinued
Swarovski Components

A brief statement regarding Article Numbering -
Originally Swarovski components were designated using a 2 and 3 digit 'serial' number. 
This was changed in 1962, when Swarovski switched to a 4-digit 'Article' numbering system. 
Thus, the older 2 or 3-digit numbers helps us to date these components to pre-1963, 
making them definitely at least 45 years old and hence often termed "Vintage" components. 

We have indicated the newer and older numbers for these items where this information is available. 

The table below represents of some of the Article Numbers we have in current stock and available, 
however this is by no means the definitive list. We do have more available.
Please contact us for specific details. THANK YOU.

We have linked additional webpages to the line drawings (or the text in that column) containing 
specific details (sizes, colours and prices) of most of the items we currently carry in stock.

Please also be aware that we cannot guarantee that any specific item will be available.

As noted at the top of this page, the preceding is a selection of the current stock of Vintage and Discontinued Swarovski Components offered by Katie’s Treasures to our valued customers and friends.

 This does not represent all items which may be available, merely a selection of some which we consider to be amongst the finest examples of (mainly) machine cut lead crystal beads and pendants manufactured by Swarovski over many, many years. 

 However, not all items produced by Swarovski comprise machine cut lead crystal. Many items exist which are not machine-cut but are smooth glass, some also in a frosted finish. These are genuine lead crystal glass in the traditional Swarovski colours and make an interesting addition to the range.

It is difficult to determine exactly when a specific component, size and / or colour was discontinued from the Swarovski range.
Suffice to say, all of these components are in limited supply, some obviously rarer than others. Some still exist in the current Swarovski range, usually in limited sizes and colours, often only in crystal and crystal AB finish.     

ALL Vintage and Discontinued Swarovski Components are available in limited quantity
and we cannot guarantee a further supply of any of the items listed above ! 
Other items are also available, and, if you have a specific item , size, colour you require
we will do our best to obtain it for you. 
We have more items on the way and some items (mainly the 6700 series pendants) 
can be pre-ordered for delivery when the stock arrives.
