In an unexpected collaboration, Marvel and Swarovksi have teamed up for a crystal-laden jewelry and home goods collection inspired by your favorite superheroes.
In the limited-edition lineup, Marvel characters such as Black Panther, Spider-Man and the Hulk, are transformed into gorgeous pendant necklaces, gold bracelets and glass-cut figurines — all available on Swarovski’s website starting today. “Stan Lee was a master storyteller,” Swarovski creative director Giovanna Engelbert, said in a statement.
“He has given the world some incredibly influential and exciting super heroes, so it has been a genuine honor to delve into these Marvel favorites and express their individual qualities with our crystals.” The 15-piece collection is more affordable than Swarovski’s typical offerings, ranging in price from $85 to $250. However, some of the more expensive items include a Black Panther necklace, made up of a Ruthenenium-plated chain and crystal-embellished pendant ($950) and an exquisite glass-cut figurine of The Hulk, crafted to feature 578 facets ($700).
Courtesy of Swarovksi The headlining pieces of the collection, however, are two limited-edition crystal-embellished figurines of Captain Marvel and Spider-Man, which cost $10,000 and $23,000, respectively. Made with more than 10,000 crystals, the Captain Marvel figure stands at 10 inches tall and depicts the Marvel hero in her signature red, blue and gold body-hugging suit, with one foot off the ground ready to take off on her next quest.
