Heroic style teams up with the beauty of Swarovski crystals

Empowered by a sense of heroism and self-discovery, Marvel and Swarovski have collaborated to launch a new jewellery and home collection.

Each piece is inspired by an iconic Marvel comic book character, captured with exceptional savoir-faire and attention to detail. From every angle, Swarovski’s master cutting exemplifies each Super Hero’s iconic look with superb authenticity.

This marks the first Swarovski collaboration with Marvel, and it has given Swarovski creative director Giovanna Engelbert a chance to explore the attributes of strength, heroism and responsibility through crystals. Tapping into the 84-year legacy of Marvel and how Marvel characters inspire everyone to find the hero within themselves, the collaboration embraces the power and elegance of crystals in new and unexpected ways.

Swarovski has created eight jewellery pieces, five crystal figurine collectibles and a set of stickers inspired by Marvel super heroes: Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Iron Man and the Hulk. Each radiant piece is a statement of energy and goodness designed to unleash your inner super hero.

“Stan Lee was a master storyteller. He has given the world some incredibly influential and exciting super heroes, so it has been a genuine honour to delve into these Marvel favourites and express their individual qualities with our crystals,” says Engelbert.

The full Swarovski and Marvel collection includes:

Spider-Man

Spider-Man’s iconic mask is featured in bracelet and pendant forms with artfully arranged red and black precision-cut crystal pavé. Two Spider-Man crystal figurine collectibles in blue and red enter the collection, with one featuring 955 facets, showing the Super Hero in a web-slinging pose, and another made from 36,500 glittering crystals that capture Spider-Man in an iconic upside-down pose on a New York City streetlamp. This limited-edition piece takes 243 hours to complete.

Black Panther

In tribute to the King of Wakanda, an array of crystallised Black Panther jewellery evokes the Wakandan spirit of innovation, including a vibrant motif ring, a life-like 3D pendant set on a long chain, and a mask-inspired pendant adorned in purple crystals. A sleek Black Panther crystal figurine collectible wears his legendary vibranium suit in a design that is expertly crafted from 649 facets.

Captain Marvel

Female empowerment is celebrated through a dazzling multicoloured ring depicting Captain Marvel’s iconic emblem of cosmic power, courage, and light. Ready for take-off, Captain Marvel is depicted as a limited-edition crystal figurine collectible made from 10,000 crystals.

Iron Man

A versatile jewellery piece that doubles as a 3D pendant and brooch channels Iron Man’s inspiring energy, while an Iron Man crystal figurine collectible, cut with 723 facets, brings the character to life at a level of innovative artistry that Tony Stark would be proud of.

Hulk

The Hulk smashes into the collection with a fiery fist of green crystals set on a gold-tone plated bracelet, while the Hulk crystal figurine collectible reveals the exacting details of the character’s signature muscles and awesome strength, expertly cut from 578 facets.
