SWAROVSKI ANNUAL EDITION 1987 LOVEBIRDS – “TOGETHERNESS”
Unveiled at the end of 198, the very first Annual Edition, made for SCS members which was available during 1876 was The Lovebirds, also known as “Togetherness”. The very first trilogy of Annual Editions was called “Caring and Sharing”. This is the only Annual Edition to exclusively carry the old “SCS” logo. The birds are made from clear crystal with the black/white eyes and frosted beaks. They site on a frosted crystal branch. Originally the design was attributed as a collaborative project beween Max Schreck and Adi Stocker, but in 1998 Swarovski gave full credit as designer to Max Schreck. Becausethis is the very first annual edition, and it was only ever available in English speaking countries, plus it was restricted to SCS Members, it is believed that it was quite rare and it was believe that only around 10,000 were made. This meant that even collectors in Austria – home of Swarovski – count not purchase the piece.
