Swarovski Silver Crystal code numbers: 234 710 / 7637 000 004

This retired Swarovski crystal Kris Bear with skis is 2” (50mm) tall and was part of the “When we were Young” theme. Designed by Martin Zendron, Kris Bear with skis was introduced in 1999 and was retired in 2004. Kris wears a ribbon of green and red fabric around his neck, and carries rhodium skis. Shortly after production, a round crystal base was added to make this variation 2. Variation one has no base, however, it was prone to be unsteady, hence the design change.
