FAQs

Is the Swarovski Hedgehog with Apple a toy?

No, this item is a decoration object and not suitable for children under 15 years of age. It is made of delicate crystal and is intended for display purposes only.

How should I clean my crystal hedgehog?

To clean, gently wipe the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For more persistent dust or smudges, you can use a slightly dampened cloth, followed immediately by drying with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.

What are the dimensions of the hedgehog figurine?

The figurine measures approximately 1 1/8 x 1 1/2 x 7/8 inch.

Is the red apple always the same color?

The apple features gradient hues of fiery red, and each piece is uniquely colored. This means there might be slight variations in the exact shade or gradient, making your piece distinct.

What does '538 facets' mean?

Facets refer to the flat, polished surfaces on the crystal. 538 facets indicate the intricate cutting and polishing technique used, which maximizes the crystal's ability to capture and reflect light, enhancing its sparkle and brilliance.

What collection is this hedgehog part of?

This piece is part of the Swarovski Crystal Nature and Peaceful Countryside Family collections, designed for the FW24 collection.

Can I display this figurine outdoors?

No, crystal figurines like the Swarovski Hedgehog are designed for indoor display. Exposure to outdoor elements such as humidity, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or dirt can damage the crystal or affect its brilliance.

Troubleshooting

The crystal appears dull or has lost its sparkle.

This is typically caused by dust accumulation or smudges. Gently clean the figurine with a soft, lint-free cloth as described in the care section. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

The apple's red color looks slightly different from images online.

Each apple is uniquely colored with gradient hues of fiery red, meaning no two versions are exactly alike. This variation is a deliberate feature of the product, making your piece one-of-a-kind.

The figurine was accidentally chipped or broken.

Crystal is a delicate material. Unfortunately, significant damage like chips or breaks are generally not repairable without professional restoration. To prevent this, always handle with care and place on a stable, secure surface away from potential hazards.

The figurine seems unstable on my display surface.

Ensure the surface is completely flat and level. If the issue persists, consider placing a small, non-slip mat or felt pad discreetly under the base of the figurine to enhance stability.

Care

To maintain its brilliance and pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the crystal. For more stubborn dust or smudges, a slightly dampened cloth followed by immediate drying with a dry, soft cloth is recommended. Do not submerge the figurine in water.
  • Handling: Always handle the figurine by its base to avoid fingerprints on the faceted surfaces. Be mindful of its delicate nature to prevent chipping or breaking.
  • Placement: Keep the hedgehog out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as intense light can sometimes affect the crystal's clarity over time. Avoid extreme temperature changes. Place it away from high-traffic areas where it might be accidentally knocked over.
