Holy cow! You are totally right! I buy Swarovski a lot directly from Swarovski web store and would notice the difference in the box cardboard in a heartbeat.
cause, thanks so much for posting this. Hopefully others will check around before buying one as the cheats and thieves will always be around unfortunately. You had every right to make this, I know I appreciate it. I've been collecting them for years and noticed the difference in the fake box as soon as you showed it. So sorry you were taken advantage of.
I did the same for 2017 from Amazon. I looked at my 2015 and 2016 boxes and noticed that the 2017 was off. So I took my box and crystal to the actual Swarovski Store at the mall and compared their 2017 to my Amazon 2017 and yep you noticed the differences. So I returned the Amazon and since then I have stuck with buying them from Swarovski stores. I went with Amazon that year b/c it was on sale for 54.99$. I started in 2008 and for 2017 I just decided on Amazon and got burned. Also my Amazon 2017 version did not have a plastic bag and had the real inside set but 2017 letter tag was off, the ribbon was cheap and the luster shine with the Swavorski UV light at the store did not produce a clear rainbow.
I've noticed a lot of times people selling fake makeup on Amazon. I think Amazon is good for household things and some basic stuff. But I would never buy jewelry unless it's very cheap bc then it doesn't even matter. By the way the real Swarovski star-ornament is really pretty and I have seen that when Christmas is over they are putting it for half off on sale.
Thank you for posting this. I felt like my purchase was off brand as soon as I opened the box. The bumpiness you are referring to on the outer box is an embossed printing technique. If you look closely, the patterns don't match from original to fake. Also the gray foam tray should be the velvet lined inset tray, but you mentioned that. THANKS AGAIN for confirming my suspicions.
they are still doing this in 2022 in the UK. Every single product I have checked has reviews where people say there's no certificate in the box, or the product bends/breaks easily, or even worse... sterling silver pieces turning black
Thank you so much for posting this! I have been collecting for years and with small kids around a couple years have been broken...I am trying to find replacements from past years on eBay and looking for info on how to tell if they are authentic, not much info out there so I appreciate it!
I bought my mother a $600 necklace from the Swarovski Amazon storefront. It is fake. I'm so angry about it. I'll let you know if I figure out how to fix this. I'm way past the 30 days. I need to figure out if this is Swarovski's genuine Amazon storefront or if this is some fake that Swarovski and Amazon are doing nothing about.
that's awesome what you're doing but understand we all have to come together to really change this kind of thing because this happens at every level of the fashion industry that do it with top brands all of the time. It's marketing it's the economy it's our caste system Rich middle class lower class. If everyone knew the secrets our entire economy would crash. Because it is all bull shit
Fly Agaric He’s talking about two snowflakes... not glass beads. I’m not sure where you got that from. Swarovski deals in faceted leaded crystal. It’s actually much more affordable than “a real gem at an auction.” 🤦🏼♂️
You are naïve if you think all these trash platforms like Amazon, eBay etc dont sell Fakes cos they 100% do!!!! Middle game platform need to be punished cos they allow it, make profits off counterfeiters and turn the blind eye making a million excuses that they cant stop them on their own platform…. LEGAL CROOKS and GOV. Allows it … YOU ALL FAILED IN POWER…. Greedy punks

Thanks so much for making this video! I had no idea Amazon was selling knock-offs, sending mine back today - thanks again!!

Congrats for your review ! I wouldn't have suspected that they sell directly fake items. I hope Swarovski is sueing their #ss

Oh my. Thanks for heads up
Very helpful. I think they got us this year (2018) so it seems this is still a problem.

Prezzo grazie
They both look like glass.
Swarovski is nothing more than cut glass anyways. You can get a real gem at an auction for the price of these ridiculous glass beads.

Please stop the BS. Swarovski on Amazon are not fake.
Not sure what the motivation was behind this comment, but you are mistaken.
