Planting the crystal flag

Now Swarovski's sparkly crystals can compete for that coveted spot as a girl's best friend since the luxury brand has opened its very own flagship store in Tokyo — a first for the company that's made precision-cut glass since 1895.

The store is located in the Jewel Box Building in Ginza and spans 450 sq. meters over two floors that are brimming with seasonal accessories and Ginza-only limited-edition baubles. You can even custom-order Swarovski- encrusted objects of your own choosing to blingify all aspects of your life or simply choose from the Daniel Swarovski couture line of accessories, available in its entirety at the Ginza location.
