Swarovski (Wattens, Austria) has opened its largest-ever flagship store on New York’s Fifth Avenue. The two-level, 14,400 square foot store “is like stepping into a vibrant jewelry box filled with treasures – including the largest crystal chaton ever cut,” the retailer said in a news release.

The store was designed by Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert, who said the store “aims to spark wonder while paying homage to the shimmering beauty of crystal.

“As New York is an iconic fashion capital and also feels like a second home to me, it is exciting to see our flagship on 5th Avenue come to life,” said Engelbert. “I wanted to create the experience of entering a huge crystal – the world of Swarovski – and to ignite the imagination from the moment you step into the store. From the grand staircase in the shape of an octagon to the use of quilted velvet and silk throughout the store, all details are intended to provide customers the feeling of being inside a luxurious jewelry box. My vision was to produce a modern, joyful, elevated and futuristic design, which mirrors the light, energy and colors of New York.”

Overall, Swarovski has about 6600 points of sale (including 2300 owned stores) in more than 150 countries.

Over the years, INSTORE has won 80 international journalism awards for its publication and website. Contact INSTORE's editors at editor@instoremag.com.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
