At the age of twenty-seven the famed artist,
      Oliver Weber, joined Swarovski and later formed his own company in
      retail sales of accessories, solely made with Swarovski Crystal
      Elements. 
    
Especially of interest to
        Swarovski Crystal Fanatics are the Oliver Weber
        (OW) crystal figurines. These luxurious figures are created with
        a combination of polished and brushed rhodium, 22K polished
        gold-plated metal or a mixture of both. They are encrusted with
        pave stones with accents of enamel.
    
      
    
The premier piece, a family of four dolphins,issued in 1998 at a retail price of
        $495, took over four years to create. It is displayed on an
        elaborate, blue aluminum base with a thick, beveled-edge glass
        background of Swarovski stones forming a transparent wave.
      
    
The figurines were produced
        between 2001 and 2008 and included a series of animals and
        musical instruments.
      
    Currrently, The Oliver
        Weber Collection consists of pendants and colliers, earrings,
        bracelets, rings, accessories, hair accessories, watches, steel,
        sunglasses, wallets, bags, belts and special items, based
        overseas.
        
      In early 2002, Annaleece by DeVries became one of the first
      wholesale jewelry companies to enter the Gift Industry. Annaleece
      started as an offspring of Swan
        Seekers Network, a retired Swarovski® crystal brokerage
      company owned by Jimer DeVries. Annaleece now sells the figurines
      designed by Oliver Weber.
