Yesterday I gave you a sneakpreview of the Swarovski Crystal Innovations New Styles due out in theFall. Today, I’mrevealing the new crystal colors, effects and whatnot that the Austrians willbe unleashing upon the world.
New Color – Sunflower A rich golden sunshine yellow, ideal for highlight colors, especially in combination with this season’s plum colors, and evoking a rich warm tone. Combine with gold metal findings for a classic look, or gun metal finding for a fashion forward edge. | |
New Effect – Crystal Silver Night A refined, almost translucent silver finish that works perfectly with Black Diamond and Jet Crystal, as well as with gun metal and antiqued silver findings, to work with the latest trend for classic yet edgy metallics. | |
New Pearl Color – Crystal Light Gold Pearl A new classic neutral for pearls, ideal for both modern and vintage-inspired jewelry. Mix with other light-colored Crystal pearls, or mix with gold and silver metallic crystals and metal findings. | |
Have you been wondering why Swarovski hasn’t made the truly gorgeous Crystal Bermuda Blue finishes more available? Turns out there was a problem with the effects, which are applied to the back of the crystals, wearing off with repeated skin contact and scratching easily. Now that the new Protective Coating is coming out, you will see these finishes available on many more styles. | |
New Crystal Prints On Pendants and Beads Do you wish this picture was bigger? So do we! But Swarovski will be applying three different black graphic prints (looks like a paisley, a zebra print, and a botanical motif) onto three different clear crystal bead and pendant styles (looks like one of the baroque styles, and possibly the twist bead and the de-art pendant). Funky! | |
Ceramics Marbled Seagreen – Line Extension A soft sea-green color with varied flecks, including pink. Will look great paired with soft pinks such as Light Rose and Vintage Rose. This could also look really good with Vintaj Brass findings! | |
Ceramics Marbled Terracotta – Line Extension A down-to-earth color, reminiscent of old clay pots and nature’s autumn colors. Will look great with brown hues from pale Silk, to Smoky Quartz. |
