Is this genuine Swarovski® crystal??

It seems very cheap in price for Swarovski. That means nothing in itself though. It might be a discontinued line or something. However, seeing that the small charms for bracelets start at about 50 dollars for Swarovski I would check out what it is before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Authenticity and logo
Each authentic Swarovski jewellery piece carries the copyright sign and the Swan logo which is embossed in the metal. The Swan logo will also be found on the pouch or box and in the certificate of authenticity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Swarovski crystal in third-party jewellery
Not all jewellery being advertised as “Swarovski” is actually Swarovski jewellery! Authentic Swarovski jewellery has the Swarovski Swan logo on the reverse of each piece. Without the logo it is not authentic Swarovski jewellery. Swarovski is one of the world’s major suppliers of crystals to the jewellery manufacturing industry. These manufacturers use Swarovski crystals, but their jewellery cannot be called Swarovski jewellery and does not fall under our global warranty policy.

—————-
I suspect from the way the adverisement is worded that the Chrystal material itself was Swarovsky material and the pendasnts were made by somebody else. Especially as it says they are made in the USA.
It might still be an OK purchase but it is not likely a piece of Swarovski Jewelry.

Here is a look at the wholesaler and online store “Gem Avenue”, who seem to be supplying those pendants to Amazon.com.
