Can anyone help me ID this boy girl crystal figurine with black eyes and faceted? They are about 3" wide and 2 3/4" tall. Black eyes. Looked at Swarovski and Shannon. No marking on bottom.
Also have a small bear on skis with black eyes and multiped faceted. Is about 1 1/2" tall. No markings. Will furnish pic if needed.

I'm glad you found a Swarovski mark on your bear, but I'm pretty sure the pictured figurine is not theirs. It isn't up to their standard.

Chatted with Swarovski. Sent picture. They said it was NOT Swarovski. Have a piece (nutcracker) of Shannon Crystal. Has an etched mark on bottom, so pretty sure boy/girl is not Shannon.

I believe these are fairly inexpensive figures - produced in China - that are meant to mimic those offered by Swarovski, Oleg Casini, Waterford & others. They are not produced to fool or deceive but rather to offer a more affordable alternative to a higher end product. Such pieces offer a similar "bling" but are not of the same quality.
