Swarovski Unveils 16 New Laboratory-Created Colored Diamonds
Presented during Paris Couture Week SS20.
Having launched its laboratory-created diamonds in 2018, Swarovski unveiled during Paris Couture Week Spring/Summer 2020 that it will be releasing 16 new exquisite Swarovski Created Diamond colorways. The stunning stones arrive in a sophisticated assortment of hues ranging from pink, blue, red and more. Markus Langes-Swarovski, member of the executive board, said in a press release:
“Swarovski is probably most known for our precision-cut crystals, but as a company, we are increasingly focused on exploring new materials and related technologies to offer our clients endless possibilities.”
“Swarovski Created Diamonds are the marriage of art and science, with a touch of magical realism. It’s also a true celebration of human ingenuity and creativity, which is what inspired us to build the color concept on four other man-made wonders: fashion, art, music and architecture.”
According to the Austrian jewelry company, the gems are 100 percent diamond, replicating the growth process of a mined diamond. Its composition possesses the same chemical composition, hardness, brilliance and fire. Inspired by the four pillars – fashion, art, music and architecture – the luxe colors represent each one of the creative communities in which Swarovski has always played a vital role in previous years.
Its hero colors – “Androgyny Flamingo” (fashion), “Cubist Sky” (art), “Heavy Metal Cherry” (music) and “Gothic Cognac” (architecture) – arrive in a whopping 2.5 carat size. The other colors – “Punk Lipstick,” “Surrealist Butter,” “Draped Fire” and “Electro Arctic” – range from 0.25 carats to 1.25 carats.
Take a detailed look at all the stones in the gallery above. While we wait for the official release date, did you hear that Louis Vuitton is officially the owner of the second-largest rough diamond in the world?
