An ever present entity in the world of
premium brands, Swarovski, the world leader in precision cut crystal jewelry
takes us on an exotic journey. Destination: Latin America Creative Director
Nathalie Colin explains, “I was strongly influenced by my travels in Brazil and
Mexico, where I discovered intense creative energy and joie de vivre. This
collection reflects the optimism of these countries, turning away from the
melancholy that prevails in Europe.”
Signature Swarovski techniques such as
Pointiage®, faceting, and the pavé setting, are evident throughout the
collection which is further enhanced using combinations of new materials such
as leather, chains in different metals, resin, and scoubidou or cotton cords.
An array of vibrant colors conveys the
festive spirit of Tropical Paradise. Various shades of green evoke the lush
vegetation of a tropical forest. Fuchsia conjures up the sensuality of the
orchid, which embodies the iconic element of this collection while turquoise
tones symbolize the clear waters of the seas of Acapulco.
Crystal appears in combination with
generously sized settings, proclaiming extravagance. It also lends itself to
metamorphoses, taking form of exotic insects, birds of paradise, and palm
trees. Beetles appear beside dragonflies and pink flamingos.
Taking on a more eclectic design are skulls
and chili pepper charms, as well as crystals, bringing the best portents for
summer 2013.
The Tropical Paradise collection is
inspired by the diversity and exuberance of South
America. Our journey takes from the celebratory
atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro’s legendary carnival to the authentic and natural
universe of the Amazon rainforest. The flamboyant colors of the rich flora and
fauna are an undeniable source of inspiration.
These intriguing surroundings accompanied
by the heritage and mystic of Inca civilizations and architectural beauty of
lost cities, paint a perfect backdrop for the
Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Our journey
ends on the other side of the continent in Acapulco, the kingdom of glamour and
jubilation. The signature piece in the collection is the oversized Tangara bib
necklace. Entirely handmade, it is created from a tropical kaleidoscope of
geometric crystals which is beautifully faceted and features the exclusive
Pointiage® technique. Its sophisticated construction recalls the architecture
of a lost city. Its colors, fuchsia and lagoon blue, punctuated with purple and
white, recall that of a rare bird of paradise or an exotic flower.
The enchanting and luxurious Translucent
pendant in the shape of a beetle, symbolizes power and fertility in South
America, and resembles a talisman of an Amazonian tribe. The body, adorned in
the exclusive Pointiage® technique, harmonizes with two large faceted crystals
that represent wings, shimmering with ever-changing radiance. The beetle’s
horns, intricately sculpted by hand, display Swarovski’s dedication to
perfection and precision. Faceted on the edges and underside, the Moonshine
ring boasts the same refinement. This eye-catching piece exudes beauty and
sparkles brilliantly from every angle.
