Swarovski - Kingdom of Jewels

July 2012


This season, Swarovski reveals an aristocratic and multicultural muse whose spirited style combines heritage with modernity. Continuing the theme of Entertainment, the new Fall/Winter Collection 2012/13 is appropriately entitled “Kingdom of Jewels”.

Inspired by electro rock and visual artistry, Creative Director Nathalie Colin transports us to an opulent, baroque world derived from minimalism and modernity A recurring shape this season is the triangle - historic among jewelry stones. With a faceted cut, exclusive to Swarovski, this symbol is repeated in different forms throughout many sets and creations. Colors explode in flashes of flamboyant ruby, spellbinding emerald, or deep sapphire, combined with dark tones and opaque effects with an underground edge.

Like a treasure passed down through time, the collection subtly combines ancient and modern, Asian heritage and historical detail, rich colors and dark tones, all with complete freedom. Added to this are lacework, embroidery, settings, and metals including gold, silver, and antiqued or polished steel to create a vintage look.
