Swarovski – Innovations Show Subtle Brilliance

 Jewelry Trends  Comments Off on Swarovski – Innovations Show Subtle Brilliance
Sep 112007
 

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.

Crystal is breaking new ground in the sector of luxury packaging. Companies are constantly seeking new ways to differentiate themselves and sparkly paper, boxes, bags and invites are a brilliant way to stand out from competitors.

The Crystal-it collection teams a technique developed in 2004 with a wide range of CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements to create endless possibilities for innovative and elegant packaging. Crystal-it adheres very well to paper and cardboard, serves as temporary decoration on materials such as plastic, wood, metal, glass and can even be used as temporary interior decoration for walls and wallpaper.

Crystal-it is ideal for the packaging of cosmetics, fragrance and fine liquor products, adds glitz to notebooks, gift boxes, albums and other stationery and is a firm favourite in the greet cards market.
