Daniel Swarovski (24 October 1862, Georgenthal bei Gablonz (Template:Lang-rsh; not Sankt Georgenthal (Czech: Jiřetín pod Jedlovou)), Bohemia (now Czech Republic) - 23 January 1956, Wattens) was an Austrian glass cutter and jeweller born in Bohemia. His father was a glass cutter who owned a small glass factory, and Swarovski first learned the art of glass-cutting in his father's factory. In 1892 he patented an electric cutting machine that facilitated the production of lead crystal glass jewellery.[1][2][3]
