The tree is nearly finished, the cocoa is cooling on the side table, and someone is holding back one last ornament for the branch nearest the lamp. In many homes, that spot belongs to Swarovski’s Annual Edition, a fresh design each December that slowly becomes a record of the seasons you’ve shared.
This 2026 snowflake is cut with 192 facets, giving the tree lights plenty of surfaces to catch. A gold-tone plated tag, engraved with the year and set with a small chaton, hangs beside it on a green grosgrain ribbon. At about 2⅝" wide and 3¼" tall, it settles easily onto a branch or into a sunny window.
Give it to newlyweds for their first Christmas together, or start a collection for a grandchild that grows one piece at a time. A certificate of authenticity comes in the box. Long after the wrapping paper is gone, that engraved tag will still bring back the evening it first went up.
