Swarovski presents its latest collection based on Walt Disney Pictures’ and Jerry Bruckheimer Films‘ next swashbuckling adventure in the popular film series, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directed by Rob Marshall, and opening in theaters on May 20, 2011, in Disney Digital 3D™.
The new “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” 11-piece collection of rings, earrings, charm bracelets and necklaces, marks a new chapter in Swarovski’s collaboration with Disney Consumer Products. Following the success of the Spring/Summer 2010 Alice in Wonderland collection, this collection features designs that are closely linked to key characters and icons of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” Also included in the collection are carefully crafted replicas of pieces worn by the main characters interpreted by Penélope Cruz and Johnny Depp in the movie.
“We had great fun searching for the typical and symbolic codes of the Pirates of the Caribbean‘ universe. Without being clichéd, we looked for a way to interpret symbols and figurative motifs in a modern way that is always the signature of Swarovski collections. The overall twist is a modern ‘rock-inspired,’ edgy collection,” says Nathalie Colin, Swarovski Creative Director.
With a gothic influence and a vintage touch, black pearls, skulls and swords are the stars of the four lines in this creative Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired collection, which has been designed to appeal to both men and women alike.
The “Angelica” family is inspired, and named after, the character played by Penélope Cruz. Echoing her swordswoman skills and taste for adventure, sword and gun symbols adorn both a pendant and a necklace. This theme also features replicas of pieces worn by the daring “Angelica”: the cross pendant, complete with a crystal pavé vintage look, and a vintage dragon ring embellished by green mini crystals applied by hand, using the exclusive Pointiage® technique. “We recreated a surface metal effect that gives an antique look to the jewels, like those worn by pirates in the 17th and 18th century,” Nathalie Colin explains.
The “High Sea” line takes everyone on board with shark teeth, compass and message-in-a-bottle elements. The octagonal pendant, made of black enamel and pavé finishing, reveals a compass with a mobile dial. The original is to be seen on-screen worn by Captain Jack Sparrow.
Inspired by Captain Jack Sparrow’s ship, the “Black Pearl” line is all about mystery and refinement. Playing with the nautical symbols of the anchor and the twisted cord, the necklace, pendant, rings and earrings create a feminine and stylish set. The subtle pavéwork emphasizes the beguiling beauty of the black crystal pearl on each jewel.
The “Skulls and Swords” theme exemplifies a masculine influence. Skulls adorn a ring, a bangle and a pendant with striking effect. The design is pure and minimalist for the unisex line.
Through the glamour, sparkle and magic of the “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” collection, the fascinating reflections and eye-catching sparkle of Swarovski jewelry—coveted the world over—continue to radiate on screen and on the red carpet.

ABOUT SWAROVSKI
In 1895, Daniel Swarovski, a Bohemian inventor and visionary, moved to the village of Wattens, Tyrol in Austria, with his newly-invented machine for cutting and polishing crystal jewelry stones. From this beginning that revolutionized the fashion world, Swarovski has grown to be the world’s leading producer of precision-cut crystal for fashion, jewelry and more recently lighting, architecture and interiors. Today, the Swarovski group, still family-owned and run by 4th and 5th generation family members, has a global reach with some 24,800 employees, a presence in over 120 countries and a turnover in 2009 of 2.25 billion Euros. Swarovski comprises two major businesses, one producing and selling loose elements to the industry and the other creating design-driven finished products. Swarovski crystals have become an essential ingredient of international design. Since 1965 the company has also catered to the fine jewelry industry with precision-cut genuine and created gemstones. Showing the creativity that lies at the heart of the company, Swarovski’s own brand lines of accessories, jewelry and home décor items are sold through more than 1,800 retail outlets worldwide. The Swarovski Crystal Society has close to 350,000 members across the world, keen collectors of the celebrated crystal figurines. And in Wattens, Swarovski Kristallwelten, the multi-media crystal museum, was opened in 1995 as a celebration of Swarovski’s universe of innovation and inspiration. The Swarovski group also includes Tyrolit®, manufacturing grinding tools, Swareflex, for road safety reflectors and Swarovski Optik, producing precision optical instruments.
