Gigabyte goes a step ahead with providing luxury computer components. The new Swarovski crystal embedded wireless laser mouse called GM-M7800S is quite something. Flaunting an 800/1600 DPI acuracy, this little beauty is partially covered in leather with an LED indicator for connecticity and change in DPI.
And Swarovski isn’t the only luxe treat that Gigabyte has in mind. As a matter of fact, the button and wheel surrounding the mouse is plated in 18 karat gold. Then there is the micro-sized RF dingle which pops out from where it’s housed in the mouse to be connected into a free USB slot.

If you thought Michael Jackson was too passé to come back ever in style, think again. That guy definitely knows how to be the king for he always has been the king of pop! In the This Is It gigs that he will have in London later, he is going to wear about 300,000 of these sparkling crystals to make the whole world gasp in wonder.
The crystals would be of fifty three different shapes and 40 different sizes and 27 different colours. The world of Swarovski and the big guys behind the company are responsible for this unbelievable splendour that he is going to wear for his concerts.

Though we have said umpteen number of times that Swarovski Crystals are finding their way in just about everything, we would still like to maintain that there are some high-end luxe products that end up with all the glamour only because these shimmering ices are complementing their whole existence. The Hot spa retreat at the Grand Resort Bag Ragaz in Switzerland is one of them. Well, this spa has been popular but the makers thought of maintaining their customer ship even during the economic slowdown and so decided to give it a Swarovski face-lift.
As a matter of fact, this Hot spa is the first instance when the iconic crystals have been custom made for a steam room. Step into this glorious spa, and you will be dazzled by 300 individual crystals coupled with colored lights donning the walls.

Snowboards are always entertaining. The rush of blood in your face is almost unparalleled when you use a snowboard to go down a slope. In fact, it feels better than skiing and you should not miss the experience at any cost. However, many people already know that snowboarding is something that pumps your adrenalin and hence it has become quite common.
You wouldn’t like to do something that is common would you? In my opinion, you must go ahead and buy the Swarovski studded snowboards. These blinged out snowboards are designed by Henri Nidecker and hundreds of Swarovski crystals are graphically inlaid in order to produce an effect that is almost enchanting.

Reports have suggested that the sales of bottled water have slowed down lately because of the economic slowdown. But we saw two fashionable acts of bravado recently. Well, Love H20 is a courageous brand that came up with its own limited edition of bottled water that is stored in beautiful Swaroski crystals encrusted bottles. And the even braver ones were six people who actually bought a bottle for $2,330.
The luxury brand sources the water from Wenlock Spring Water in Shropshire. And the much talked about bottles are reportedly crafted by hand and took one week to produce. Right now, the six bottles in reference have been reserved and sit pretty in the Selfridges stores across UK and will be delivered to the purchasers after Christmas.

Diamonds are not just a girl’s best friend any more. Guys too are getting to know them better and are falling in love with them eventually. And they have found a great way to flaunt it too, ties, shirts and now hoodies! The casual wear just got glamorous enough for Red Carpet events.

The MINI Cooper S is surely the car of the young and the restless with its superb design and a performance that matches the style. The 1.6 liter powered car accelerates from 0 to 100 in just 7.1 seconds and has a top speed of very impressive 225 km/h. Yet, it was not a package that was satisfying to designer and artist Marco Mehne and so he set about altering the Mini Cooper S to suit his style. So he created the MINI Cooper S in space-frame style with 20 hand paint jobs, three finishes and 40,000 Swarovski crystals to adorn its surface.
The new MINI thus created is a show in grand spectacle and a work of art that is subtle and stylish. The car had plenty of input put into it by Marco and his creative team and painting on such a space-frame styled body was far more difficult than imagined. Yet Marco put in time, effort and plenty of creativity to convert this into a moving work of art. The 40,000 Swarovski crystals that it sports further add to the bling of this special car.
The car is all set to make its grand debut and steal the spotlight at a VIP event on the opening of the fair Heim + Handwerk, 28 November 2008 in Munich. There is no doubt that when Marco’s work steps out in front of all, it will be the star of the show. This might one day go away in an auction for plenty, but the art work put on it is simply priceless!
