It has been predicted that perhaps folks  will never be able to get enough of Swarovski the coming festive season. After all, isn’t it then when everything is expected to shine and sparkle! And when you are in New York, you always look forward to see the Rockefeller Center for it has been celebrated as the most popular sparkle in the city during the holidays. Hundreds of locals as well as tourists have gathered at this famous sport to get a glimpse of the glorious Christmas Tree, that has a tradition of being topped with a Swarovski star since 2004.

And this year, we shall witness a star with a diameter of 9 1/2 feet, depth of 1 1/2 feet and a weight of 550 pounds. Believe it or not, but this twinkling star constitutes 25,000 crystals and has some 1,000,000 facets. A very high tech item, the star has been designed as a low cost decoration thanks to its energy-efficient LED bulbs.
A little research told us that the Rockefeller Center started the Tree Lighting Ceremony in 1933. Each year, the Christmas Tree was covered with 700 lights. However, this year will be the first time that a Swarovski star with a dynamic light movement will be featured. The 77th Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, December 2, from 7-9 pm.

If plain and simple luxury is not enough to satisfy you, we suggest something truly regal. Take the all new Luxury Edition Royal Crown iPhone case for instance. This one is indeed a super rich beauty to behold. Indeed meant for those who do not shy from flaunting bling, this case makes for a very full-on luxurious choice, if you know what we mean!

There is a heart shaped artificial but glittering crystal on its front face that draws all the attention for it is surrounded by sparkling Swarovski crystals all over forming a heart shape. Plus there is a very royal looking crystal studded crown on top of the heart shaped crystal that sort of seals the regal exuberance for you.

This one has been done up in a shiny rust yellow gold color (please read carefully, this isn’t the real precious metal), and the luxury case is actually quite affordable too. At just $180, you can provide a very luxurious abode to your favorite cellphone, all this while being a class apart. Can you think of a better deal than this?

Time has come (in most places across the world) to grab your skates and sip hot chocolate in a skating rink with your bumchums. We are not suggesting any major deviation from that except for some real luxurious and classy skates to replace the rather common ones you already own. We are referring to a collection that goes by the name of ‘In the world of animals’ that comes with 15 different models of stylish skates that have been hand decorated with sparkling Swarovski crystals all over.

In fact, we hear that famous figure skater Anastasia Grebenkin, who is also known as an actress and radio broadcaster, was quite perturbed with the missing sparkle in her attire required for an otherwise flawless and elegant sport. Well, now she cannot complain anymore.

Truth is, it was this very desire to change the bland into something hot and spicey that gave rise to these Swarovski skates. So, this season go and splurge on these pair of ice footsies and believe it or not, the limelight will follow every step you take on the skating rink.

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.

However there is no information about how many crystals were used and how much it might cost to buy this bike. You could always request your local Swarovski crystals dealer to deliver you loads of these shiny goodies so that you can mod your bike or car with crystals as well. And if it turns out to look good, don’t forget to write to us. We would always love to feature anything that has got crystals in it!

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.

Such a tremendous claim is substantiated by a whole staircase being decorated with Swarovski crystals worth $2.8 million. Even the grand piano shines with the sparkle of 20,000 Swarovski crystals. Each of the 99 suites here have their very own marble bathrooms with a full size bath, fluffy robes and slippers, Egyptian cotton sheets, memory mattress, pillow menu,complimentary  mini-bar and a delightful personal butler. Boy, now who’s gonna top that!

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.”

And if you too are looking for a makeover for your car, then you can try the look too. Though we are not sure of any copyright infringements. Yet again, if that is too much of a hassle, then maybe you could a buy a ticket to the race and enjoy the crystallised hood in its original avatar. You never know Stefan might just let you drive it!

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!

The credit for this rather horrendous show of luxury goes to creative director Douglas Little of D.L.& Co. Apparently for the likes of them, the four-digit priced Dell Adamo 13 wasn’t premium enough for their uber-rich clientele.
