Swarovski Annual Edition Christmas Ornament 1996 – Crystal Star. One of the earliest star-shaped annual releases. The ornament is crafted from precision-cut clear crystal, featuring a classic star/snowflake form with stepped, angular facets that create exceptional depth and brilliant light refraction. The crisp geometry and substantial crystal thickness are characteristic of Swarovski’s mid-1990s production quality. The ornament is in a very condition, with the crystal remaining bright, clean, and sharply faceted. Has a tiny imperfection at the upper pointer. No box and year tag. A timeless and elegant collectible that represents Swarovski craftsmanship before later design simplifications.
