What will Swarovski be offering next season? The new Fall Winter 2014/2015 collection has just been presented in Toronto and Dubai, and those who have seen it say that Nathalie Colin, the company’s creative director, has hit her target once again: “This season I wanted to bring together art and light even more, which is completely natural for a company whose crystals set the highest standards in terms of brilliance and sparkle. The new collection connects our heritage with another very important value: the constant desire to reinvent and innovate.” The result? Contamination of different metals, an unavoidable trend in the world of jewelry, in this case rose gold, rhodium and ruthenium (minerals similar to platinum) used to emphasize the facets of the crystals and create plays of light on pieces with bold and very fashionable shapes. Like the necklace from the Buzz line, one of the most eye-catching, with hand-applied crystals following the embroidery style, in different sizes, thicknesses and colours to create a very modern 3D effect. Same style for the ring bracelet and earrings. The Blossom set is also characterised by the three-dimensional, with a ruthenium cage structure, studded with mini crystals, which in the bracelet holds crystals in shades of grey, amethyst, ruby and emerald. From bright colours to metallic palettes: in the Brancusi line, in Pdv gold, the shiny appearance of the metal, the stylised shapes, the geometric openings and the baguette crystals are a tribute to the Romanian artist. Structured design for the link chain of the Bonus necklace, bracelet and earrings, in stainless steel and crystals. An even more accentuated sparkle in the Crystal Dust line, (Crystal Dust) with rounded links. Finally, the baroque triumph of Blacklight: large medallions with black crystals, surrounded by others of degrading size and color applied by hand with the patented Pontiage technique. Just to give a touch of extra light.
