Swarovski Goes Hi-Tech

XPRESS

Swarovski and Philips have collaborated to introduce hi- gadgets for style-conscious geeks. The technology is called Active Crystals and includes a range of earphones and USB memory.

Active Crystals has four models of earphones — Space, Icon, Mirage and Amazone. Space has faceted crystal, moulded in the silver metal of headphones. In contrast, Icon is accented by a dome of faceted crystal and weighs merely 20gm.

The Mirage earphones are adorned with an oval-faceted crystal navette covering a rubber cushion. The Amazone necklace is fashioned with grains of silver metallic beads and closed by one magnetic cylinder. On one side, the clasp can hold a featherweight MP3 player, the other side features two headphones in silver metal and faceted crystal.

The USB memory, keys Heart Ware and Heart Beat, are worn as pendants.

Connected by a silver cord, the keys take the form of hearts in polished silver metal connected in faceted crystal, or in metal decorated with crystals. Each heart opens to reveal the key with 1GB capacity.
