Dear Yanica
Thank you for your e-mail of December 30th 2008 and your design proposal.
The wishes and ideas from our collectors are very important to us, They have inspired the creation of some of our most beautiful pieces over the years.
All suggestions are collected to a central database, and regularly forwarded to our team of designers, who are highly trained experts with years of experience in crystal design.
As soon as the designers receive the suggestions, they check them for feasibility. Crystal is a particularly complex and difficult material to work with. Even if a design initially seems promising on a piece of paper or as a prototype, it does not automatically mean it will go into production. There are many factors to be considered.
It is a long, difficult path from the initial idea to the final piece. Our team of designers is currently working on pieces, which will not be coming onto the market for another two years; this means that the planning process for today’s new items began at least two years ago. The path to the completed article is paved with draft designs a host of prototypes – and sometimes we encounter failures, which result in abandoning of the whole project. With a little luck, however, the process is crowned with the creation of a stunning new piece of Swarovski crystal.
We will let you know in case your idea is implemented, or if the design you suggested appears on the market.
Thank you for your interest in Swarovski crystal.
With best regards,
Petra Ospelt

Bla bla… email about jewellery… yawn.
At least acknowledge the fact that you got the inspiration to even send an email out to them from me! Otherwise you wouldn’t, I’m almost sure…
woooooow
I hope it works out yan! perfect 18th present kieku 
matt it’s not jewellery, it’s a figurine. And yes i would have sent it anyway =]
yey greatness!
I’m so proud… RAVEN!
Matt, i suggested it. And no, it had nothing to do with you. If I had come up with the raven idea and had yanica’s guts i would have done the same thing. (duh, cos it was my idea)
The suggestion behind this might have (obviously) been yours, but the inspiration no doubt came from me. Alla jbierek, as soon as I send out that Sunderland job “application”, everyone started copying me in terms of sending out things. I know another 2 people who ‘applied’ for the same Sunderland managerial position, and now this.
thankyou achie..what ive been trying to tell him all along on msn =] lol
