Swarovski and James Bond have been inextricably linked
through creative collaborations for 35 years. To celebrate the release of the
highly anticipated motion picture Skyfall Swarovski has created a collection of
jewellery pieces inspired by the latest movie in the James Bond
series.
British-born Stephen Webster, one of the most prominent
jewellery designers of our time, created four exclusive designs
for Swarovski which encapsulate all the movie magic of James Bonds latest
adventure.
As Stephen Webster stated: Without question,
collaborating with Swarovski on the jewellery for Skyfall has been exciting from the word go. The
themes in the film seem to fit perfectly with the design aesthetic of the
jewellery I create, and the many creative meetings at Pinewood
Studios between Swarovski, ourselves and the Bond team have only added to our
enthusiasm for the project. We cant wait to see the jewels, shaken not stirred
within the movie.
On screen, it falls to French actress, Berenice Marlohe,
who plays the character of Severine in Skyfall to create the all-important link to the
sexy and fascinating world of Bond by wearing select jewellery pieces from the four film-based
themes.
For his Love
Knot theme, Stephen Webster turned
to an eternal symbol of devotion to express the strongest of lovers bonds.
Available as a pendant, pierced earrings, bangle or ring, the intricate yet
gracious design is highlighted by both black and clear crystals in a Pointiage setting; Swarovskis exclusive hand set technique provides a unique sparkle and
increased sophistication.
The Black
Bamboo theme brings to life the air
of elegancy inherent in this bamboo-inspired design. Whether interpreted as a
pair of 7cm long earrings or a stunning pendant, these pieces make a dramatic
impression. The refined Pointiage setting flows across the piece and hints
glamorous adventure and excitement.
The ring at the heart of the Heat Seeker theme possesses a boldly original shape,
certain to gain attention. Nevertheless, it also retains an essence of
femininity achieved through the sophisticated use of crystal. The matching
pendant and earrings are delicate interpretations of the statement ring
design.
The mysterious appeal of the snake is captured in
the Queen Cobra theme., the concept makes a powerful
on-trend impact. Shimmering in the double ring is a large crystal symbolizing
the apple, the forbidden fruit and the intense red color of the snakes crystal
eyes flash dramatically against the black crystals of its body. This
eye-catching line also includes a pendant and a single
ring.
The Skyfall
collection provides all the aura of the world of James Bond and the
ever-alluring Bond Girls, while once again illustrating Swarovskis exploration
into the infinite possibilities of crystal. Through Stephen Websters creative
vision, Skyfall has been interpreted into charismatic jewellery pieces. As a premium gift or as a singular treat for
oneself, any item of this exclusively designed collection is destined to be met
with esteemed success.
