Swarovski-studded Contact Lenses (Now We've Seen It All)

Posted Sep 9th 2008 3:02PM by Rigel Celeste
Filed under: Jewelry

They might look pretty in photographs, and maybe photographers will use them for surreal and especially artistic shots, but what regular person in their right mind would wear these contact lenses with Swarovski crystals embedded inside?

The sparkly lenses were created as part of a Swarovski competition that had over 4000 entries from 92 countries. These lenses won first place, which makes me wonder what did the 2nd and 3rd place winners look like?

Maybe I'm over-reacting. I guess if they really don't feel any different than regular contacts they might be fun for Halloween or something. Maybe.

Swarovski Jewels Sink Collection

Posted Aug 21st 2008 11:02AM by Rigel Celeste

Normally I think Swarovski jewels encrusted onto household appliances look tacky and ridiculous, so I'm a little surprised to hear myself saying that the Swarovski Jewels Sink collection from Antologia is actually pretty nice. Simple, tasteful, and artistic, the basic white and black sinks aren't overrun with big sparkling jewels so much as they're accented and enhanced by them. Each piece is put together by hand with Signity jewels.

Any kind of jewels on a bathroom fixture are still completely impractical and difficult to clean, of course, but these are nice to look at nevertheless.

Key Closet's $10,000 Jeans

These jeans by Key Closet look good, there's no doubt about that, but do they look $10,000 good? I have a hard time justifying $50 for a new pair, not to mention for that kind of money I'd really not know where to wear them. But the price tag is just that, $10,000, and they feature hand-drawn designs, over 1,000 Swarovski crystals, and a one carat diamond on each back pocket. Yes, wear these and you'll have a very valuable backside.

The best part about the whole thing is that although they cost almost as much as a new car, 30% of the profits will go towards building a school for under-privileged children in Uganda. That makes them totally worth it, sort of.

La Prairie Special Edition Skin Cream

When it seems that the ingredients for pricey skin creams can't get anymore expensive, there is only one thing to do, fancy up the outside. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of La Prairie, they are packaging their Skin Caviar Luxe Cream in special Swarovski-encrusted jars. There are 645 50 ml jars available for an astronomical $2,000 each (the plain version can generally be found for around $345). The jar will be available at cosmetic counters in November.

3.1 Phillip Lim Pleated Star Headband

I haven't worn a headband since my middle school days. Well, besides wearing one when I go running or washing my face. I just haven't thought of headbands as one of the most fashionable accessories in a long time - especially given all that you could choose from. And this is not to say that there is anything wrong with headbands, it's just an accessory that doesn't readily speak to me. But 3.1 Phillip Lim takes an ordinary silk headband and turns it up a notch with Swarovski crystals accents. Lim's Pleated Star Headband still has a bit of a casual feel but it's still dressy enough that you could wear out for drinks and not feel as though you should be exercising. And no need for constant readjusting as it features an elastic in the back for a more secure fit. Price: $275.

Available in a beautiful mix of pastel colors (blue, gold, pink, and violet) and black (classy), the cap is covered with a design in Swarovski crystals. Sony has announced that the 'NW-E010 series' will be available by the end of next month in the Japanese market (they get everything first it seems!) and no word on when they might make an appearance here in the U.S. Pricing is expected to be around 18,800 yen for the 2GB versions and 24,800 yen for 4GB.

Swarovski Cake Jewels

If you're looking for a wedding cake topper that is a little bit different than the standard bride and groom figurines, Swarovski Crystal Cake Jewels can add a lot of sparkle to the presentation. The cake jewels can be customized to many designs in just about every color you can imagine. Popular patterns include butterflies, flowers, hearts and the initials of the happy couple. Initials really make the cake unique, as you can see on Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay's cake, but she also used a variety of the other designs offered, including flowers and dragonflies, on her cake. See the full price list for details, but letters start around $150 for a small size.

Jimmy Choo Nubuck Hobo with Crystals

Filed under: Handbags

Wow, in my opinion, this is one startlingly ugly bag. This Jimmy Choo bag takes a couple of different trends, the hobo shape, all-over ornamentation, and dangling zippers and combines them to eye-paining effect.The bag is made of soft nubuck leather nearly entirely covered with Swarovksi crystals except for strange Rorshach-like patches of plain leather. The top zip has a long tassel pull. The bag sells for $2,100.

We mentioned Panasonic's crystal-studded frame for a plasma TV back in September, now one has shown up on eBay. Veronica over at Born Rich directs us to the auction for a 42" Panasonic EDTV with a Swarovksi crystal frame that has surfaced on eBay. The frame was introduced as part of the 2005 Emmy’s Ultimate Nominee TV Gift Bag by Madison & Mulholland. The frame is covered in over 3,000 crystals and the TV has been seen on TV in the Gastineau Girls. So far bidders, aren't too enthusiastic, last time we looked the auction was languishing under $1,000.
