FAQs
Is this Kris Bear suitable for children?
No, due to its delicate crystal construction and small parts, this Kris Bear is intended for decorative purposes only and is not suitable as a toy for children. It should be kept out of their reach.
How do I best display my Kris Bear?
Place your Kris Bear on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or areas where it might be easily knocked over. Display cabinets or enclosed shelves are ideal for protection.
What should I do if my Kris Bear gets chipped or broken?
Crystal can be fragile. In case of damage, it's best to contact Swarovski customer service or a professional crystal repair specialist for advice. Attempting self-repair can cause further damage.
Can I use harsh cleaners on my Kris Bear?
No, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, window cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the crystal's finish, cause etching, or dull its sparkle. Stick to a soft, lint-free cloth, and if necessary, a damp cloth with mild soap.
Is this product part of a limited edition?
The Kris Bear Sweet as Honey is a regular edition item in the beloved Kris Bear collection. Information regarding limited editions is usually specified clearly in the product description.
What does '449 facets' mean?
Facets refer to the flat surfaces cut into the crystal. 449 facets indicate a complex and intricate cut, designed to maximize the crystal's brilliance and sparkle by reflecting light from many angles, giving it its characteristic shine.
Can I engrave this Kris Bear?
While engraving is possible on some crystal items, it is not typically recommended for intricate figurines like the Kris Bear due to its delicate nature and numerous facets. Check with Swarovski directly for specific recommendations if you wish to personalize it.
Troubleshooting
Figurine appears dull or dusty.
Gently dust with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn spots, lightly dampen the cloth with water and a tiny drop of mild soap, then wipe clean and dry thoroughly immediately with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Accidental minor scratch or scuff mark.
Swarovski crystal is delicate, and minor marks are often permanent. For significant damage, contact Swarovski customer service for potential repair options or advice from a professional crystal repair specialist.
Figurine seems unstable on a surface.
Ensure the surface is completely flat and level. Re-position the bear to find its most stable point. If placing on a high shelf or in an earthquake-prone area, consider using museum putty on the base for added stability (ensure it will not damage the surface).
Water spots or streaks after cleaning.
This often happens if the crystal is not dried immediately and thoroughly. Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to gently buff out any remaining spots. Ensure your cleaning cloth is truly lint-free.
