12 Valuable Swarovski Crystal Figurines That Cost a Small Fortune
Swarovski’s crystal creatures have been around for decades, and while the renditions of today cost a pretty penny, there are some vintage figurines with nostalgia and hefty price tags both attached to them. Here are the most expensive vintage Swarovski figurines we found for sale on eBay.
Limited Edition Wild Horses
Highest listing price on eBay: $2,500
The Swarovski Wild Horses figurine, part of their Numbered Limited Editions, is a stunning piece made from clear crystal with matte manes and tails. Released in 2001, only 10,000 were made, and it was available through a lottery system for SCS members. The limited availability and intricate details make this piece a prized collector’s item.
‘Silver Crystal’ Crystal Polar Bear Figurine
Highest listing price on eBay: $350
First introduced in the ’90s, the polar bear crystal figurine sits on top of a silver mirrored plate, adding to his shining abilities under a lighted display. Long discontinued, these crystal bears are becoming more rare and valuable among collectors.
Gold Bumble Bee in Flight, Lotus Flower
Highest listing price on eBay: $750
Released as part of Swarovski’s limited-edition collection in 1985, the Gold Bumble Bee in Flight, Lotus Flower figurine by Swarovski is a delicate and stunning piece. The bumblebee, crafted in radiant gold-tone crystal, appears to hover above a beautifully detailed lotus flower made of clear crystal. The intricate detailing, from the bee’s wings to the petals of the lotus, captures the beauty Swarovski is known for.
Grapes with Gold Leaves
Highest listing price on eBay: $549
Swarovski’s bunch of grapes debuted during the ’80s when faux fruit was all the rage with home decor (albeit usually not of the crystal variety). Some of the most sought-after Swarovski figurines include accent details that deviate from the brand’s signature crystals, which is what the gold leaves on this piece give to collectors.
Oyster with Pearl
Highest listing price on eBay: $415
From the finish on the crystal oyster shell to the delicate pearl within, Swarovski’s oyster figurine exudes opulence. At 10 centimeters, the oyster doesn’t overdo it and instead provides that just-right touch to a vintage crystal collection.
Elephant
Highest listing price on eBay: $400
Swarovski has unleashed an entire herd of elephants over the years, but this little guy is particularly adorable with his round feet, giant ears, and upturned trunk. The black eyes are a staple for Swarovski when they want to transform a figurine from realistic and magnificent to irresistibly cute.
Crystal Yellow Maxi Flower Daisies
Highest listing price on eBay: $450
With delicate yellow details, the bunch of daisies figurine is one of Swarovski’s most beloved. It was released in 2000 as part of the Crystal Memories collection and discontinued after 2009. These days, it’s becoming more rare, bumping up its value.
‘Inspiration Africa’ The Kudu Crystal Figurine
Highest listing price on eBay: $395
The 1994 “Inspiration Africa” Kudu Swarovski figurine captures the graceful posture of a kudu, an African antelope, with incredible detail. The clear crystal is expertly crafted to reflect light, bringing the animal’s elegant curves and features to life. Released as part of Swarovski’s limited-edition “Inspiration Africa” collection, it’s a beautiful piece that has become a collectible.
Swarovski Crystal Dolphin Figurine Ocean Wave
Highest listing price on eBay: $400
The 1998 Swarovski Crystal Dolphin Figurine Ocean Wave is a beautiful depiction of a dolphin leaping through a crystal wave. The intricate details of the dolphin, crafted from clear crystal, and the swirling wave beneath it create a dynamic, lifelike scene reminiscent of that iconic dolphin figurine that was in nearly every household during the 90s.
‘Togetherness’ – The Love Birds
Highest listing price on eBay: $2,000
The love birds Swarovski figurine from 1987 was released as part of the “Togetherness” collection. With an opaque stand, the crystal birds stand out, and those darn black eyes inspire an audible “Aww” that can unite the masses.
Giant Falcon Head
Highest listing price on eBay: $1,100
Although its name has the word “giant” in it, please remember that when we’re talking about Swarovski figurines, they’re usually quite small. This colossal crystal, hailing from 1981, is actually only 3 1/2 inches tall but is nevertheless one of the most valuable figurines on this round-up.
Hummingbird in Flight
Highest listing price on eBay: $1,100
This Swarovski hummingbird figurine is a rare and stunning piece, released exclusively in the U.S. and Canada between 1985 and 1988. Designed by a team of Swarovski artists, this collectible features a beautifully faceted clear crystal hummingbird accented with gold and adorned with both clear and emerald crystal stones. It rests gracefully on a faceted clear crystal flower base, with gold crystal stones in the flower’s center. With a base that’s 4 inches wide and an overall height of 3.5 inches, it’s a striking piece, showcasing tons of crystals.
