If you happen to be an avid Swarovski collector, we have great news for you! Everybody’s absolute favourite, world-renowned Austrian crystal brand will be introducing their uber luxurious ‘Crystal Masterpieces 2014’ line in India. The exclusive line which is largely themed around Chinese mythology’s emphasis on the symbolism of animals will include delicate figurines from their impressive Crystal Myriad collection, such as The Phoenix, The Black Stallion, and The Buddha. Each figurine besides being an individual masterclass in expert craftsmanship also comes with a beautiful story of its own – The Phoenix, which is said to represent loyalty, honesty, decorum and justice, was painstakingly created over a period of 330 hours using 46,900 hand-set crystals. Only 100 pieces of the exquisite piece are available in the world today. The Horse, which is an ode to the year 2014 (the year of the horse according to the Chinese zodiac calendar) is mesmerising to say the least. Radiating a unique glow from 561 facets, the majestic piece is the epitome of intricate detailing. Making a debut with the fascinating collection is The Buddha. Placed on a matt black crystal base the figurine spells serenity and calm.
