The Paradise Collection is one of the most Favorite among Collectors of Swarovski Crystal.
Swarovski introduced the Paradise Collection in 2000. In this initial launch , all the Paradise figurines were insects:
Bees & Bumblebees, Beetles, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Flies, Grasshoppers, & Scarabs, the first line issued using Full Color.
More Butterflies were issued in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2008.
The Paradise Birds Collection began in 2001 with a second issue in 2003. Some of these are highly collectible and command high values for the retired pieces.
Swarovski introduced the Paradise 'Exotic Fish' and South Seas series in 2004. There were approximately 19 different figurines in this collection with many of them retired by 2007.

More issues followed in 2005, 2008, & 2010
New 2011 issues in this product line include the Emperor & French Angel Fish, the Vintage Rose Pearl Oyster, and the Sea Goldies.
The Paradise 'Exotic Flowers' were launched in 2006. Six flowers were introduced in the first Swarovski Paradise Flowers release. The Dacali, Dalmally (Bird of Paradise), Dambulla (Buttercup), Deoli (Amethyst Daisy), Dindori (Blue Flower), and the Dorara (Fuschia Flower). Some are tall and the stem can be removed from the base and others are magnets. They are well loved among Crystal Fanatics; however, some Fanatics think this line has very little crystal applied to them for the price. The retail price ranges from $50 to $250.00.
