Swatch BIJOUX - The Models


Orbicula
Suggestive of its name, Orbicula's inspiration is not unlike a peep into the cosmos through a telescopic lens, or entering into a zone where dimensions seem tweaked and convention is right out the window, thanks to the transparent plastic which forms the orb that wraps your finger or which graces your neck. It's all about wearing your “fun”.

Necklaces
The silver chain adjoins a stainless steel sphere that houses one of three designs in transparent plastic: stainless steel with an elliptical pattern in relief; black and white circles on a white background; and magnified jeans fabric print. Real silver closure.
Available: one size

Ring
Three glossy and trendy escapades for your fingers, available in: stainless steel with an elliptical pattern in relief; black and white circles on a white background; and a magnified jeans fabric print.

Lustro
Shiny is in, in, in...flashy and unobscured like that recurring dream, these darling accessories are lustrous in sheen and affectionately individual when it comes to being your own designer. Lustro transforms elegance into a do-it-yourself fashion operation with matching cufflinks, ring and bracelet.
A glint in the eye of fashion, an indefectible combination of materials in unison, producing a well-finished look that's sleek and uncluttered /applying simple yet dashing finishes for an elegant juncture of element and attitude.
