There is nothing better than a bagful of diamonds, they say. However after Swarovski crystals became popular, a woman’s best friend is no more diamonds but these wonderful Swarovski crystals as they are not only more affordable but also far more versatile.
It would be amazingly easy to mod any product with these cool Swarovski crystals and make them all go bling. Take this bike for example. Studded with Swarovski crystals it could make any heads turn and in fact if you rode it on the street people would definitely follow you to rob you. I am sure even women would love to ride this beauty and so would men. The crystal clad MZ motorcycle is one of its kinds and I would love to buy one for myself.

You can trust Swarovski to go to any magnanimous lengths to come up with anything you can imagine, in its crystals.
After a line of interesting products for its 20th anniversary, the brand has unveiled, not a clutch purse or shoes, but a Corsage in Swarovski crystals. The figure hugging garment has been a rage ever since Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker adorned it.
For those with that money to splash around, this one may be the ultimate wanna-grab thing around. The difference now though is that it looks stunning with the crystals avatar by Ukrainian designer Verlingieri Lesya. The new label she has created it for is by Lever couture. The designer is 26 years young and got her degree at Modedesigerin, in mid-2007. The young designer is known to create exquisite design and processes with high-quality material such as Jacob Swarovski Schlepfer substances. Her effort in detail shows in this material.
The strapless Swarovski studded corsage is enhanced with 41,000 Swarovski crystals for that grand appearance. It costs $10,000, which makes it perhaps the most expensive of such pieces in the world.

Luxury cruises are gaining a rather consistent popularity in the European seas. And when that just started, the MSC Splendid made a rather bold, loud and extravagant foray into the world of sea travel. The most grand-daddiest moment of all was the presence of actress Sophia Loren at its sail from Barcelona in July 2009 that spoke quite a lot about it being a special boat.
Now quite some time has passed since the sail of this opulent, luxury liner, but the truth is that the world still hasn’t heard much about its little feats. Its maker claims that the MS Splendida is perhaps the most gorgeous cruise ship in the world. The passegners experience the special European-Italian feel in the plush interiors. There are five swimming pools, 12 whirlpool baths, 18 bars and several lounges with a discotheque with some crazy music.

Car enthusiasts loaded with tonnes of creativity and a hefty bank balance are forever interested in pimping up cars their way! Now this is a luxury not many can afford. And Stefan Raab does not fall in that category. In fact the ProSieben host worked up a little automobile wonder for the ‘The TV Total Stock Car Crash Challenge 2009′. What he did was to bling up his race car’s hood with a ‘TV Total’ logo using several thousan Swarovski stones.
Stefan is estimating the cost of his car hood experiment at around $84,000. And he justifies it by saying that this is the new style “bling-bling”. The car with the fancy bonnet is expected to race with some 30 other cars across three race classes. Stefan even jokes, “After three minutes it (the car) is, unfortunately crap.”

What recession? Before you might start thinking that we have officially lost our minds, let us share this bit of news – a blingy Dell laptop that costs a huge $5K. Frankly, there is no shortage of high-end computer machines that wear the over-the-top bling and get sold at a high price. But we are talking about five grants here that too in the American dollar. Here are the details. Apparently, one Bergdorf Goodman wanted to get one of the new Dell Adamo XPS for himself. But then it had to be different from the masses. So they called up Swarovski and did some decorating of their own.
As a result, the lid of the Adamo 13 is festooned with a Swarovski crystal studded sterling snake, which frankly could have had a better finishing for isn’t it a flat and smooth laptop top that we always look for!

This is happening when we had started to feel the absence of Swarovski crystals from almost everything in our luxury household. We mean that in a good way, for exclusivity lends its own charm to luxury. It is brand Aliseo which has given a crystallised makeover to the mundane bathroom furnishings found lying around in the bathroom. This might appeal to those who care for each and every detail under the roof to establish a classy decor.
Well, what Aliseo has done is simply takes the sparkling ices from the best among the brands and featured it all on a signatures series. The Strass Swarovski Crystals look quite delicious on the LED Cubik cosmetic mirror. In fact, the ones on the hair dryer, towel rail, (believe it or not) toilet roll holder, hook and towel ring look no less glamorous.

Paris Hilton is the trademark babe in the luxury woods. In fact, her name sells so much that a TV blinging group has decided to dedicate their new TV to the hotel heiress. The claim is that they have decorated many LCD TVs before but their hottest innovation has been done n the strong Fuchsia crystals. The color is such a dominating force here that ‘meant for Paris Hilton’ seems to be a very natural thing.
We are told that this television was a surprise gift for th beautiful Hilton babe when she was in Germany recently. The makers think that the Fuchsia (rose is very school-girl sorts) and Jet combo works well for a grown-up gadget freak girl. The deep, bright shade of pink has a personality and character of its own.
