These Swarovski Snowboards Will Get Stolen If You Bring Them to Snowmodo
Heading into the lodge for a midday hot cocoa? Adorable. Plan on leaving your Nidecker Swarovski-studded snowboard in the rack alongside the "normal" boards? Better not. Have a portable vault handy instead. More »

I See No Possible Dangers to Embedding Swarovski Crystals in Contact Lenses
Gee whiz guys, why didn't any of us think of this sooner? You know Swarovski crystals, those fancy, shiny pieces of glass that kind of look like diamonds but are much cheaper? Let's put them in contact lenses! Sure, it's essentially putting shards of glass on your eye, but it's just so cool looking! Bling bling! Going blind is totally hot this season anyways, so we'll just ride this wave of trendiness all the way to the bank! The eye bank! Hiyo! [Mami Magazine via BornRich]

Is It A GirlPurse? Is It A ManBag? No, Silly, It's an Urban Performer Unit
Hello, I'm a sexy lady who has been Swarovski-encrusted by my PR people in order to publicize something called the Urban Performer Unit. It's basically a handbag with a little pocket for your iPod which enables you to control your music from the outside of your bag. Nice idea, don't you think? There is, however, one slightly disturbing thing about this Austrian-designed purse: More »

Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring (With USB)
I've proposed three times in my life. Once was with a traditional diamond ring (it went well). The other two were with tacky USB devices (which also went well). The lesson learned? I'm suave enough to scorechickspeople as long as I'm on my knees. More »

Crystal Icing Give Mario, Bowser SwaroskWii Treatment
Crystal Icing is back with two more additions to their Swarovski encrusted Wii range. They previously bought us the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess edition, which looked remarkable. Well, they are obviously onto a winning formula; just checkout the new Super Smash Bros Brawl inspired Wii / Swarovski overkill artworks. Sure, they are excessive, but we have always wanted to see what Bowser looked like when he's all blinged out by 20,000 crystals. If you have had similar queries about Mario, jump in to put your curiosities aside. More »

Swarovski-embedded Hello Kitty Laptop Makes Us Wince, Groan, then Vomit in Anger
As if adorning an otherwise fine laptop in Swarovski crystals or Hello Kitty logos wasn't bad enough, NEC has made a laptop with both Swarovski and Hello Kitty, making this the worst laptop we've ever seen. Seriously, we're not even going to bother showing you the specs, because if anybody purchases this thing from Japan, we're going to have to revoke their Gizmodo license. We're sorry, but it has to be done. [Far East Gizmos] -

iPod nano Becomes Gold-Plated Zune with Gilty Couture
There's a new Swarovski-encrusting, gold-plating organization on the rise, going by the name of Gilty Couture. It's got a wide range of precious metal hard-cases from $55 to $200, with crystals "evoking the Gilded Age of the late 1800s." However, one enclosure in particular evokes something else: it gives the newest "fat" iPod nano a Swarovski trim that makes look an awful lot like a first-gen Zune. My guess is that this was unintentional, but hey, if you're one of those fence-ridin' types, this might be your ideal stocking stuffer, in gold or silver. [Gilty Couture]

Swarovski-Encrusted Wii Actually Doesn't Look Like Crystalized Poop
We normally avoid posting things coated in Swarovski crystals like Asians avoid SARS, but this particular crystalized Wii looks spectacular. The console has the Twilight Princess Link/Wolf engraved on one side, the TriForce logo engraved on the other and the actual TriForce (with Kanji labels) on the front. We're not sure how much it costs, but count us and Kotaku in. [Crystalicing] More »

LED Fashion Makes You Look Groovy, in a NYC Skyline Kind of Way
Looks like designer Hussein Chalayan and Swarovski have at last come up with LED clothing that doesn't make you look like an alien (not too much, anyway) or an utterly fashion-blind dork. The dress has two layers, with a translucent fabric covering the LEDs. If you live outside Japan, however, you will have to keep doing your LED garments yourself for now. More »

Philips and Swarovski Launch Active Crystals Luxury Electronics in US
I always look at boring old USB drives and ask, "Why can't these be jewel-encrusted?" Ditto for my run-of-the-mill earbuds, which seem to lack some kind of large embedded crystal. Believe it or not, the Philips-Swarovski Active Crystals collection is due to arrive in the US this August, and we've got the exclusive first look at the lineup. More » -

Crystal Roc Instruments Lined With Swarovski Gems
Swarovski crystals (you know, the same kind that every Tom, Dick and Harry company uses to line their products) line a series of musical instruments from Morten Schjolin, the man who helped bring us such useful members of society as Jennifer Lopez. Given the name Crystal Roc, these instruments— microphones, drums and guitars—are also just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, with audio circuitry provided by the likes of Technics and Shure.

Paris Hilton's Crystal-Studded Sidekick 3
As the saying goes, the rich get richer, and T-Mobile is more than happy to accommodate America's best and brightest with the launch of their highly anticipated Sidekick 3. Paris Hilton, the very talented, earned-everything-she's-ever-received-in-her-life socialite even has a special, Swarovski Crystal-encrusted verion of T-Mobile's wunderphone. Hilton's Sidekick 3 has a bunch of different stones on it that, apparently, make people feel important. Crystal, light rose and smoked topaz are but some of the shiny rocks on the Sidekick 3. Whether or not Hilton ever uttered the phrase, "I love my Sidekick! It's HOT," might well impact my opinions of humanity. More » -

Swarovski-Festooned Vinyl Killer
Where will we see these ubiquitous Swarovski crystals next? The Swiss bauble maker may have gone too far in its quest to encrust the entire world in its tiny pieces of precision-cut glass, where now there's Vinyl Killer, a little VW Microbus covered with the shiny stuff, and its needle underneath makes contact with a vinyl LP as it drives around and around.
