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.
Nature’s Beauty
Title:Captured in a variety of vivid combinations
Subtitle:
Gouldian Finches have long been prized for their showstopping cloak of rainbow feathers. While various colour combinations exist in the wild, it’s their heads that truly set them apart. The majority of the birds have black heads, but keep your eyes peeled, as about one third are red-heads, with another tiny percentage in rare yellow or orange.
Sky High Creativity
Title:
Many natural factors contribute to a Gouldian Finch’s colourful 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.
L’évolution en action
Title:
Les Diamants de Gould sont certes magnifiques, mais ce que révèle leur plumage va bien au-delà du simple aspect esthétique. Des études ont en effet démontré, que ce dernier offre de nombreux avantages, en termes d’adaptation et de stratégies de survie et cache même certains traits de caractère du volatile. Les mâles à tête rouge, par exemple, sont plus compétitifs et dominants, tandis que les femelles sont capables de déterminer le sexe de leurs petits en choisissant leur mâle en fonction de la couleur de leur tête.
