Swarovski summer sale offers crystal-enhanced tech gear at sharply reduced prices

FILED UNDER: Design, News

The Robot Naughty Raymond USB Memory Key on sale for $90, or half the regular price, offers 2 GB of flash memory that can be worn as a pendant or charm.

Best known for its elegant lighting or watch designs, Swarovki brings its signature blend of style and function to more affordable technology products such as a flash drive or stereo headphones, at prices that are even more affordable thanks to a summer sale. With the proliferation of high-technology, functional devices are no longer style statements in and of themselves. But adding a subtle, or not-so-subtle, glittering crystal to the mix transforms the mundane in artful ways.

With a polished stainless steel body and high-quality, fabric-type cable, these Swarovski headphones offer soft and flexible silicone earpieces with fully faceted drop-cut crystal accents in either violet or black.

With the popularity of the Apple iPhone and iPod, white stereo earbuds have lost their style statement. But you’ll be the only one with stainless-steel ear-buds adorned by either jet black or violet crystals when you sport Swarovski Space Earphones, available in two colors.

The Swarovski flash drive comes in two flavors — Happy Laura white or Naughty Raymond black — and its playful robot characters can transport up to 2 GB of files or photos while charming as a crystal pendant or charm. Either is on sale for $90, half the normal retail price. Get ‘em before they sell out.
