The Swarovski 2017 Shooting Star Ornament - Article# 5287009

 Hello Crystal Enthusiasts!

Today, I’m thrilled to share my latest addition—the Swarovski 2017 Shooting Star Ornament (Article 5287009). In my 37 years on this planet, I think I’ve only seen maybe two actual shooting stars. Maybe I need to spend more time outside... or maybe it’s all the light pollution blocking my view? Yeah, let’s go with that!

This ornament was interesting in its own way. Before unboxing it, I had just opened the 30th Anniversary Ornament, which also features the Aurora Borealis (AB) coating. At first, I expected the same effect, but something about this one looked different. The coating was identical, yet the Shooting Star Ornament reflected more golden hues, no matter what background I placed behind it. Granted, I filmed this unboxing at night instead of during the day, so I wonder if the lack of natural light played a role in its appearance.

A Celestial Beauty That Captures the Magic of the Holidays

The Swarovski 2017 Shooting Star Ornament is a dazzling representation of a shooting star, a symbol of wonder, hope, and the magic of the holiday season. This ornament immediately caught my eye with its unique shape and shimmering Aurora Borealis (AB) coating.

As I tilted the ornament under the light, it reflected a mesmerizing array of colors, shifting from cool blues and purples to warm golden hues.

The elongated, asymmetrical shape of this shooting star gives it a sense of movement, making it appear as if it’s streaking across the sky. Hanging from a soft white satin ribbon, it looks stunning whether it’s displayed on a Christmas tree, in a window, or even as part of a year-round crystal collection.

Final Thoughts

Unboxing the Swarovski 2017 Shooting Star Ornament was a truly magical experience. From its shimmering AB coating to its unique celestial design, this piece is a showstopper. Whether you’re a seasoned Swarovski collector or simply looking for a dazzling ornament to elevate your holiday décor, this star is sure to bring sparkle and joy for years to come.

If you already own this beauty, consider yourself lucky! If not, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for it while it’s still available. Swarovski ornaments tend to sell out quickly, and once they’re retired, they can be difficult (and expensive) to track down.

What is the Shimmer Effect?

The Shimmer Effect is a special coating applied to some Swarovski crystals to enhance their brilliance and light reflection. This effect creates a subtle rainbow-like iridescence, making the crystals appear even more dynamic and vibrant when exposed to light.

How Does the Shimmer Effect Work?

• It adds a soft, multi-colored glow to the crystal, similar to an Aurora Borealis (AB) coating, but with a more subtle and elegant finish.
• The effect allows the crystal to reflect more light and color, creating an extra layer of sparkle and depth.
• It enhances the perceived brilliance of the piece, making it appear more radiant and luminous from different angles.

Why Does Swarovski Use the Shimmer Effect?

• To increase light dispersion, making the ornament stand out even more.
• To give their crystals a more luxurious and festive feel, perfect for holiday decorations.
• To create a unique look that distinguishes these pieces from standard clear crystal ornaments.

This effect is often found on limited edition ornaments, snowflakes, and figurines, adding an extra touch of magic and exclusivity to each piece.

Final Thoughts

The Swarovski Amazon Exclusive Holiday Snowflake Ornament is a stunning representation of holiday elegance. With its breathtaking facets, dazzling shimmer, and timeless design, this ornament will bring a magical touch to your holiday décor.
