Wholesale Swarovski Crystals
For the absolute best precision-cut crystal, you have to go with Swarovski. David Rockwell recently use 100 000 pieces of this crystal in the design for the curtain on the set of the 81st Annual Oscar awards…
I wonder if he bought these Swarovski Crystals wholesale, or if he made a special deal with the company? His set curtain weighed an amazing 3 tons and was 60 feet tall!
David is an Architect from New York who is known for his shaggy hair and lengthy resume. The awe inspiring curtain at the show this year redefined the Oscar experience and took it back to the days of magnificence, but could only have been done in partnership with Swarovski.
Who would have thought that one Daniel Swarovski, born in 1862 to a glass cutter, in the Czech Republic, (died 1956) would have been one of the partners responsible for this incredible display? He was the gentleman who patented a revolutionary electric glass cutting machine which was able to facilitate the manufacture of lead crystal glass now used to make jewelry, fashion, home d?cor, couture and chandeliers. However David Rockwell has partnered with this company on many occasions.
David Rockwell is not the only big name to have partnered with this Austrian company, they have been used widely by many different designers, for many different purposes. We are looking at big names like Louis Vuitton, Holly Yashi and Gucci and Pet who created the most bling dog collars you have ever laid your eyes upon. Even Sir Elton John has been taken in by the Swarovski allure.
Yes he who loves “bling” from many years before it had a name and was adored by one of his mentors, the great Liberace. Sit Elton John has actually launched a range of personalized iPods. They replicate many of the costumes he has worn on stage, on the body of the iPod, and it glitters with more than 250 of these sparkling crystals.
The back of the iPod features an engraving of his signature and there are only 100 available in each of the nine colors on sale, so they are very limited editions. Although Sir Elton John does not normally endorse or associate his name with any products, this is a product with a difference and the iPods on sale represent a cause. A cause that Elton John is 100% completely at cause with!! 12. 5% of the proceeds of the sale of these limited editions will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Although Swarovski crystals are famous for adorning the ears of many stars and normal people alike, you are also able to find earphones and hanging earpieces for your iPod decorated with these gem-like pieces of glass. Talk about taking accessories to the limit?
Jewelry made with Swarovski crystal became fashionable in the mid 1900’s. From the time they took off, till now, celebrities have been wearing this jewelry and this has made it more popular than ever. So much so that they were used in the backdrop for the latest Oscar’s production!
Jewelry made with Swarovski crystal is now a favorite for Hollywood actresses, either in wardrobe or out. The critically acclaimed film by Jean-Marc Vall?e, The Young Victoria, features Emily Blunt (playing Victoria), dressed in replicas of the Crown Jewels, and all of them meticulously researched and made from Swarovski Crystal. This actress quite literally sparkles on the big screen, much as Queen Victoria did in real life.
