According to Julia C Carroll in Costume Jewelry 101, she shared this information about jewelry made in Austria: “Beautiful rhinestones and crystal beads have been imported from Austria for many decades. The Swarovski Corporation is probably the most famous supplier of these high quality Austrian beads and rhinestones. Some of the jewelry marked “made in Austria” rivals jewelry from the great designers in quality of materials and style. High end Austrian jewelry is made with top quality rhinestones and art glass stones. “
