Swarovski Crystals Ball Ornament - Gold-Tone Metal, 2023 Annual Edition Collection

Been collecting the annual Swarovski crystals for years and was pleasantly surprised to see sale pricing for the 2022 ornament. For a brief moment, when I received it in the green box with the changed logo, I thought I was scammed. A quick research reminded me of what I had forgotten - Swarovski has changed their logo and instead of the normal blue triangle box and the traditional swan, it this this new ghastly box. Now none of the boxes fit and the box looks bat-ugly and is very stiff instead instead of the lovely deep blue velvet.But then I am not buying the box, but the ornament inside. Over the years I feel the ornaments' creativity has gone down, they have become smaller, and regular pricing is just too out of sync with the sizing. The crystal itself continues to be scintillating, sparkling, and awesome. Will I continue to buy? Most likely and when the pricing is well discounted in the secondary market. The overall rating is 5 stars only because of the lowered pricing.

It's more than I would like to spend on an ornament but it was so pretty I bought it anyway and the quality is amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. It looks fragile and my cat has already knocked my little 4ft tree down twice since I put it up yesterday with hard wood floor so I decided not to put it up right now, so a bit disappointed I can't display it due to my cat but may find a command hook to put it up in a window or on the wall somewhere, it's so pretty it seems a shame not to do something with it. Well worth the price and amazing quality, I've never seen a ornament of this quality at superstore or department store that sells over priced character, plastic, or glass ornaments

The media could not be loaded.  I collect these ornaments for momentous occasions of important years in our family (after all, they are pricey!) so I only have a handful and I’m not an avid collector every year. However, of the 7 that I own, this might be hands down my favorite. The cut of the crystal on Swarovski ornaments is unparalleled but this one in particular has a center piece that has so many facets. It really shines in the light and is a luxurious addition to our tree. Even if you’re not interested in collecting for the annual tradition, you could open the jump ring and remove the year tag to just hang this as a beautiful ornament. I also have a separate stand that I sometimes use to display only the Swarovski ornaments. The packaging is excellent and I continue to use it to store these precious ornaments year after year. At full price, the ornaments are expensive but they are really well made. If you can find them on sale for $40 or less, it’s a steal for the quality. This would make a wonderful gift to someone else or even yourself (that’s what I did!).

We had a tradition of always purchasing ornaments in our family. Every year, each family member would get an ornament for the tree. That is until 2022 where I lost my entire family a month before christmas, I didn't set up a tree, christmas didn't happened that year... Flashforward to 2023 where I see my dream ornament from 2022 at a crazy 87% sale during Black Friday. Now I know that's a year old, but this was EXACTLY what I needed to heal my heart. So thank you Amazon for making this wonderful sale, it really came into a blessing.Now for the ornament itself: Absolute perfect craftmanship. It feels like you are purchasing "jewelry for your tree" and the presentation from Swarovski did this justice. It comes in a fancy box lined with felt that will be used throughout the years to keep it safe. In the lights, it shines beautifully and looks simply amazing. They are not cheap though, so my recommendation would be to keep it on your shopping list and wait until Amazon gives a good sale on it. You will not regret this purchase if you want the ultimate ornament.

This was a great price, so I got one. Now I wish I had gotten more! Beautiful ornament, the real deal too. Looked so pretty on my tree. Would make a great gift. Doesn't matter if it says 2022, it's timeless.

Bought this on crazy sale and am so happy I did. It’s so sparkly and heavy duty. Real quality also love the box it comes in! Feel like royalty

I love Swarovski crystal and especially like this one. I purchase one for myself and liked it so much that I sent one to three friends--each of whom said it was beautiful! It's facets catch the light in a way that I think is superior to the 2023 ornament, and I like the detail of the crystal. It arrived nicely packaged and is very giftable--even if it is marked with a 2022 tag. Very nice item.

Swarovski. Say no more! Perfection! Beautiful! Love it!

I shall treasure this in my home... it was purchased to mark the last Christmas I spent with my son who died December 2, 2023. Getting this 2022 star meant the world to me... I am glad it was available! It is so beautiful too !

When this ornament is held up to the light a kaleidoscope of colour bounce off of it. Absolutely stunning
