The SCS Lovebirds
Unveiled at the end of 1986, the very first Annual Edition made for SCS members was available during 1987 and was also known as “Togetherness”. This is the only Annual Edition to exclusively carry the old “SCS” logo and was the first of the “Caring and Sharing” trilogy. The birds are made from clear crystal with black/white eyes and frosted beaks and they sit on a frosted crystal branch. Originally, the design was attributed as a collaborative project between Max Schreck and Adi Stocker, but in 1998 Swarovski gave full credit as designer to Max Schreck. This very first annual edition was only ever available in English speaking countries and because it was restricted to SCS members only, it is believed that only around 10,000 were made. This policy meant that even collectors in Austria – home of Swarovski – could not purchase the piece!
