Just got back from two days at Swarovski headquarters (for North America) in Rhode Island. It was a totally awesome experience and if you have the opportunity, you should definitely go. We spent two learning about products and ways to use them - so look for new stuff and new ideas soon!

Anyhoo - their boardroom has a specially commissioned chandelier - a set of three round balls - completely made of - what else? Swarovski Crystallized Elements. It is called the Da Vinci chandelier.

I even managed to get a half-decent picture of it - which is no small accomplishment. It was so inspiring - I had to make earrings in homage! I guess that makes these the Ultimate Chandelier Earrings. ;-) Pic of the chandelier is the last one of the pics.
