Break the rules, find your style

then swich it up

Ready to own your style? Mix things up? Have some fun and let your jewelry elevate your look? We dive into three jewelry rules – and how our exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant Set can help you break them to your best advantage…


Rule 1: Like with like
Classic shapes should be combined with classic outfits. A traditional pendant is best worn over traditional cuts, in a similar colour palette. Those are the rules. 

We disagree. Wholeheartedly. While a classic shape, such as the emerald step cut of the SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant, does look stunning with a little black dress, it’s a lot more fun to be daring. Especially considering that the exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant is reversible. One side is an opaque White Opal crystal, which reflects an array of blues, yellows, pinks and whites when light hits its surface, while the other is a Light Topaz crystal, with warm, amber tones. In other words, two different ways to experiment with colour. Take advantage and look to outfits with a modern edge in unconventional patterns. Athleisure? Sure, why not? Rules are there to be broken; the word of the day is play. Hint: Juxtapose the pendant’s classic shape with asymmetric pieces, masculine or athletic cuts, bold patterns and strong contrasts. 

Rule 2: Keep it simple
Don’t overdo things. A pendant is beautiful as a regal stand-alone piece. Let it sit on your bare decoltage – demure, subtle and elegant. 

Absolutely not! Opting for a reserved look is great, but we say layer it up. The SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant Set comes with two pieces – a crystal pendant and a magnifying glass (more on the origin story of this later). It was designed specifically to create a layered look, which means you can easily add interest to even the most casual outfit. Want to take it up a notch? When it comes to jewlry, we say more is more. Play with shape, colour and length to turn your look into a showpiece. Hint: Take a gander at the Millena Family, keep a bare decoltage or pick a single block colour, and let your jewelry take the spotlight.

Rule 3: Don’t play with your jewelry 
Sparkly jewelry belongs to the night. Put it on. Leave it alone. Let it twinkle but don’t touch it. Let people quietly admire it. 

Nonsense! Once in a while it’s fun to be playful and interactive. Which is why the exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant Set comes with a tiny-but-mighty, fully functioning magnifying glass. The special piece was created to honor the 35th anniversary of the SCS. The pendant has the anniversary date (1987-2022) discreely engraved on it, invisible to the naked eye. A secret for your eyes only. You can use the magnifying glass to find it or just to admire the mastery of the cut and refraction of the colours, up close. Hint: Wear it day or night. Style doesn’t have a curfew. 

Un regalo grandioso

Title:
La lente di ingrandimento ha una storia tutta sua. La sua attuale forma risalie alla metà del Duecento, se non prima, agli antichi Egizi, che utilizzavano schegge di cristallo e ossidiana per esaminare gli oggetti. 

Per quanto riguarda la lente di ingrandimento, che fa parte dell’esclusivo Set di pendenti SCS Elegance of Africa, possiamo affermare con certezza che si tratta della prima del suo genere nella storia; non solo è un gioiello stupendo, ma può essere utilizzata per svelare un segreto nascosto: la data dell’anniversario SCSC discretamente incisa sul pendente. 

Pertanto, non è solo un modo perfetto per celebrare il 35° anniversario della Swarovski Crystal Society e tutti i nostri straordinari soci, ma anche uno splendido regalo, unico nel suo genere, da dedicare a persone care. La tavolozza di colori delicati e la natura reversibile del Set di pendenti SCS Elegance of Africa lo rendono sufficientemente flessibile per coordinarsi con look diversi (e personalità diverse), mentre il suo design lo rende affascinante al punto da attrarre attenzione e complimenti. Senza tempo e attuale al tempo stesso, da ricordare per sempre.
