Swarovski is unveiling its latest crystal innovations: sparkling but subtle colours and irregular cuts to ignite the imagination.
The strong, pure tones of Palace Green Opal bring a touch of regal glamour to garments or accessories; and Light Grey Opal crystals give off a soft opalescent glow – a perfect complement to the season’s barely there colours. Antique Brass Pearl is the new Crystal Pearl Effect, creating a refined, metallic look.
The eye-catching, futuristic Galactic Family includes Sew-on Stones, Fancy Stones, Beads, Vertical Pendants and Horizontal Pendants, all featuring brilliantly irregular cuts and facets. As the names suggest, the Twist Sew-on Stone, Twist Bead and Twist Pendant take a timeless geometric shape and give it a uniquely modern interpretation. The XILION Square is upgraded to conjure an enchanting play of light.
In Semi-finished Products XILION Flat Backs and Crystal Fabric are fused to create Crystal Transfabric, a versatile and glamorous material ideal for urban and sportswear; while maximum brilliance is achieved with Chaton- and Flat Back Bandings, now boasting more crystal per square centimetre than ever before.
Also available are several additions and line extensions to some of CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements™ most popular ranges.
