Why are small Swarovski crystal statues expensive?
A 3.5 inch Spiderman statue is priced around 530 bucks. I’m aware of licensing fees yet supposedly Swarovski makes their crystals out of fire, sand and water…materials that aren’t rare. Thanks.

I think you’re paying for the name and (I assume) their reputation. Plus, enough people are willing to pay it, so they have no reason to make them more affordable.
Swarovski crystals are no longer made. Preciosa has pretty much taken over the crystal business. But now that Swarovski is no longer made, they will be even more expensive.
And now that Preciosa has the market, you watch, as time passes standards will go down, or they’ll sell their company to the Chinese. Like Birkenstock selling out. :(
Birkenstock has agreed to sell a majority stake to LVMH-backed private equity firm L Catterton. The family-owned German company said the deal would help it to grow in China and India as well as expand its online business.
Sorry, but who gives a fuck if it grows in China and India?!
