What a train wreck! This swavorski crystal train came to me in about 25 pieces. It needed to be completely reassembled and glued into place, but I had not been given a picture of the original. Reassembling this train was a like a jigsaw puzzle. The fun part was creating a something beautiful from the pieces. I consider that crystal repair at its finest.

Swarovski Crystal Repair

Swarovski makes very fine crystal and over the years I could fill a zoo with  Swarovski Glass Animals I have repaired. I recently restored a pair of Swarovski Crystal Birds. Swarovski crystal repairs are generaly simple reglues.

I  also made a custom, wall hung, bent glass display case just for a collection of Swarovski Crystal Animals with mirrored shelves and custom low voltage lighting. The small Swarovski crystal prisms are glued together to create all kinds of shapes.It’s not uncommon for the glue to fail so don’t blame the kids if you find a three-leged dog.
