Color Takes Flight
Title:Illuminating our exclusive SCS collection like never before
Subtitle:
At the heart of this year’s exclusive SCS collection, Swarovski has captured the brilliance of Australian nature through the many vibrant hues of the Gouldian Finch. Envisioned by Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert and realized by Crystal Designer Martin Zendron, the bright flock showcases joyful creativity paired with astonishing savoir-faire.
Die Schönheit der Natur
Title:Eingefangen in einer Fülle von lebhaften Kombinationen
Subtitle:
Gouldamadinen werden seit langem für ihre atemberaubenden Regenbogenfedern bewundert. In der Wildnis existieren zwar unterschiedliche Farbkombinationen, aber die Köpfe dieser Prachtfinken machen sie zu einem einzigartigen Blickfang. Die meisten Gouldamadinen haben schwarze Köpfe, aber halten Sie die Augen offen, denn etwa ein Drittel der Vögel hat einen roten Kopf und ein weiterer kleinerer Teil sogar einen gelben oder orangen.
Sky High Creativity
Title:
Many natural factors contribute to a Gouldian Finch’s colorful appearance – from the bird’s diet to illusions of light. To emulate that same richness, our crystal experts have employed their own special techniques. Whether it’s achieving the right balance of minerals, or heating the crystals to the perfect temperature, the result is a mesmerizing flock that will brighten any space.
Evolution in Action
Title:
Gouldian Finches may be pretty to look at, but studies have proven that their different colors are related to evolutionary advantages, survival strategies, and even personality traits. Red-headed males, for example, are the most competitive and dominant, while female finches can even control the sex of their offspring, depending on which male head color they choose.
