English Version | Ice Queen

The warm side that the cold season demands only gains prominence because its opposite exists. When temperatures call for wool, fur, and cashmere, the shine of Swarovski crystals balances the comfort of winter textures with the refinement of translucent jewelry that channels the realm of ice into a daily life made of warm clothing. But just because they resemble some rigorously carved stalactite or stalagmite doesn't mean that these shimmering pendants, earrings, bracelets, and ornaments are any less warm than any velvety texture. Incidentally, those who think that Christmas is all about fire and fireplace are mistaken, ice has a place here too - the holiday season also calls for the countless reflections of these multifaceted crystals. Because stars don't only have to shine on top of the tree. Photography by Natasha Killeen.
