Artcoustic Crystal Speaker Dock Will Fulfill Your Secret Disco Needs
12:20AM Jesus Diaz | Dear Artcoustic. Your wall-mounted, ultra-flat loudspeakers with iPod/iPhone-compatible docks are really really cool, and I always wanted one. But seriously, was there really any need to cover them with a billion Swarovski crystals to match my disco ball? Oh yes. More »

I See No Possible Dangers to Embedding Swarovski Crystals in Contact Lenses
2:00AM Adam Frucci | Gee whiz guys, why didn’t any of us think of this sooner? You know Swarovski crystals, those fancy, shiny pieces of glass that kind of look like diamonds but are much cheaper? Let’s put them in contact lenses! Sure, it’s essentially putting shards of glass on your eye, but it’s just so cool looking! Bling bling! Going blind is totally hot this season anyways, so we’ll just ride this wave of trendiness all the way to the bank! The eye bank! Hiyo! [Mami Magazine via BornRich] More »

Is It A GirlPurse? Is It A ManBag? No, Silly, It’s an Urban Performer Unit
10:32PM Addy Dugdale | Hello, I’m a sexy lady who has been Swarovski-encrusted by my PR people in order to publicise something called the Urban Performer Unit. It’s basically a handbag with a little pocket for your iPod which enables you to control your music from the outside of your bag. Nice idea, don’t you think? There is, however, one slightly disturbing thing about this Austrian-designed purse: More »

3:01PM Nick Broughall | If you weren’t content with having your light fittings blinged up with Swarovski crystals, why not consider this low-rider bike?
I’m sure the idea sounded perfectly rational at the Swarovski labs: “What haven’t we stuck our crystals on yet?” says boffin 1, in a voice not unlike Stewie Griffin. “I don’t know. I think we’ve covered every conceivable product” replies boffin 2 (who sounds a bit like James Earl Jones). “What about a bike?” says boffin 1. “Already done – although we could go for a fancy type of bike this time” boffin 2 responds. “Brilliant!” Exclaims boffin 1, “We should bling up a low-rider!” Or so the conversation sounds in my head.
It took roughly 110,000 crystals to cover the bike, which is a low-rider creation from UK designer Ben Wilson. It is handmade to order, and price is on application, although considering the website tells you to hold your breath, we’re guessing that it ain’t going to be cheap.

11:42AM Nick Broughall | Those marketing guys at Swarovski are quite the gadget whores – they’ll happily stick their crystals on anything and everything for a bit of promotion. But it isn’t always a bad thing, especially when you get products like their lighting range.
The concept is simple – they use their crystals to refract and reflect the light from LEDs onto your loungeroom ceiling, walls or floor (or all three). And although that sounds like it could look worse than, say, a Swarovski toilet, it’s done in an understated way that looks unique and appealing.
The pic above is part of their Spots range, dubbed the Fana, but there are countless options available, including drop down crystals for the disco effect and lights that are flush with the ceiling.
Some of the range is available in Australia, but you’ll need to contact Swarovski directly for a more detailed breakdown of exactly what, where and how much they are.

Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring (With USB)
1:25AM Mark Wilson | I’ve proposed three times in my life. Once was with a traditional diamond ring (it went well). The other two were with tacky USB devices (which also went well). The lesson learned? I’m suave enough to score chicks people as long as I’m on my knees. More »
