Swarovski recently provided media with a sneak peak at its 2012 spring summer line. There is a colourful, fresh feel to the collection, as befits springtime, with brights, pastels and rainbow hues. It has a strong 60s-70s vibe, with graphics and interesting use of colour.

The Raphaela necklace shown here will be sold in limited quantity. It has a matching bracelet and chunky ring, and is definitely a statement piece. The necklaced is made of crystal mesh and features a new coloured stone, Coral Kiss. The star piece of the collection, it is estimated it will retail for Cdn $1600.
