Vintage Swarovski 4320 Pear Crystals (15x11mm) in Silver-Plated Open Back Settings – Madeira & Dark Smoked Topaz

Add a touch of rare, historical luxury to your designs with genuine, out-of-production vintage Swarovski Austrian crystal pears.

This listing features the exquisite Swarovski Article 4320 Teardrop / Pear Fancy Stone in the versatile 15x11mm size. Known for their unrivaled optical clarity and precision-cut facets, these stunning stones feature a transparent, unfoiled back. They are cradled inside a premium, open-back, 4-prong silver-plated setting that allows maximum light to dance through the crystal.

Because Swarovski has ceased production of its loose crystal components, these historic, authentic shades are incredibly rare and highly sought after by costume designers, bead embroidery artists, and high-end jewelry makers.

🎨 Choose Your Vintage Crystal Color Effect

Select your preferred rare color from the dropdown menu. Please note: These stones have beautiful unfoiled, transparent backs. The minor color variations you see in photos are elegant reflections created by the silver-plated prongs, not a variation in the glass itself!

• Vintage Madeira Topaz (Discontinued 1950s Color): A legendary, rich shade reminiscent of aged honey, coppery red-orange, or deep auburn. It is less yellow and far deeper than traditional modern topaz, casting an incredibly warm, luscious glow.
• Vintage Dark Smoked Topaz (Rauchtopaz Dark): A mysterious, sophisticated, deep smoky brown. This complex shade beautifully mimics natural smoky quartz or aged, fine whiskey, bringing an antique, gothic, or dark-academia vibe to your work.

📏 Structural Details & How to Use

• Listing Quantity: Sold individually (per 1 single stone). Choose whether you want the loose stone alone, or pre-set in its custom silver housing.
• Setting Style: Premium 4-pronged, open-back, silver-plated setting.

• • Application Note: To maintain the structural integrity and brilliant facets of the teardrop, there are no holes drilled into the crystal glass itself. The functional sew-on holes are located exclusively on the back/sides of the metal setting, allowing you to seamlessly stitch them onto garments, dancewear, or weave them into beadwork.

A small note about foil-backed stones: Some oils and lotions can erode the foil backing on the crystal. If in doubt, whether something will hurt the foil, take the ring (or other piece of jewelry) off.
