The Swarovski Crystal Journey 2012 has concluded its trip, sad for the lucky crystal fanatics aboard. It would have been the experience of a lifetime to be part of the trip!
On Wednesday, some of our favorite designers were on the boat, for a brief question and answer session. In this small get-together, the artists in attendance were:
- Swarovski Designer Martin Zendron (far left)
- Swarovski Designer Adi Stocker (center)
- Swarovski Designer Gabriele Stamey (right)
Swarovski Designers: Martin Zendron, Adi Stocker, & Gabriele Stamey
Martin Zendron is credited with over 70 designs, including the Swarovski NLE Wild Horses and 5 Swarovski AE figurines: Swarovski Elephant, Swarovski Unicorn, Swarovski Antonio, and Swarovski Harmony (clear and colored).
Adi Stocker is credited with over 100 designs, including 3 Swarovski NLE: Swarovski Eagle, Swarovski Peacock, and Swarovski Bull; and 6 Swarovski AE: Swarovski Woodpeckers, Swarovski Turtledoves, Swarovski Lion, Swarovski Pegasus, Swarovski Pierrot, and Swarovski Isadora.
Gabriele Stamey is credited with over 70 designs, including 2 Swarovski AE: Swarovski Dragon and Swarovski Columbine, as well as 2 Swarovski SCS Commemorative Editions: Swarovski 5th Anniversary Birthday Cake and Swarovski Vase of Roses.
During this gathering, it was hinted that Swarovski may cease to try reviving older designs by adding color as this concept is not all that popular with collectors. I, for one, completely agree. To me, it’s like taking plaid bell bottoms from the 70’s and changing the plaid to polka dots and wanting people to wear them again!
Hopefully, we can get a few more pictures and information from the final hours of the Swarovski 2012 Crystal Journey.
