Swarovski: The Christmas tradition to last a lifetime

There’s a famous scene in Love Actually where actor Rowan Atkinson goes through a convoluted exercise to gift wrap a piece of jewellery for fellow actor Alan Rickman. Quite the performance, Atkinson’s embellishments have become the benchmark of experiential Christmas shopping by which all others are judged.

And for good reason.

Jewellery is a deeply personal gift meant to last a lifetime, whether the someone special you’re buying for is a significant other, or even yourself. And the experience of purchasing is all part of the enjoyment. The Swarovski range is designed to elevate the everyday to the extraordinary with an enviable array of earrings, necklaces, rings and wrist wear perfect for a day with friends, the office or even an extravagant night out. Whether in store or online, skilled sales consultants are on hand, ready to assist every step of the way, from selecting the perfect pieces for you through to the final flourishes of gifting. It’s all part of a commitment to quality and service that brings lovers of beautiful jewellery back year after year.

While others have tried to emulate them, Swarovski crystals are unmatched. Since founder Daniel Swarovski opened for business in Austria in 1895, they have become known for their exceptional cut and brilliance, literally outshining the competition. Known as the masters of light, Swarovski crystals are still crafted in Wattens, Austria, although the range has expanded to Christmas ornaments, decorations and figurines, spreading the sparkle at this festive time of year.

Here are our favourites from the latest Swarovski releases:

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Phantom Centenary Private Collection, a landmark series of just 25 motor cars honouring the 100th anniversary of its most storied model.

Described as the marque’s most complex and technologically ambitious creation to date, the Centenary Collection is a statement of craftsmanship, symbolism and legacy, three years in the making.

Each Phantom Centenary tells the story of the nameplate’s century-long reign as the pinnacle of luxury motoring.

Every surface, from its embroidered headliner to its gold-detailed engine cover, reflects an element of Rolls-Royce’s history.

The Bespoke Collective of designers and artisans distilled the Phantom’s heritage into 77 motifs that appear throughout the car, created using groundbreaking techniques such as 3D marquetry, ink layering, laser-etched leather and 24-carat gold leafing.

Chief Executive Chris Brownridge called the Centenary Collection “a tribute to 100 years of the world’s most revered luxury item,” describing it as “a motor car which reaffirms Phantom’s status as a symbol of ambition, artistic possibility, and historical gravitas.”

Inside, the rear seats feature more than 160,000 stitches across 45 panels of high-resolution printed and embroidered fabric inspired by historic Phantoms, developed in partnership with a fashion atelier.

The front seats are laser-etched with hand-drawn sketches that reference key design codenames, while the Anthology Gallery installation – 50 brushed aluminium fins engraved with a century of quotes – forms a centrepiece that reads like a living archive.

The exterior pairs Super Champagne Crystal paint with Arctic White and Black tones, finished with iridescent glass particles. Each car is crowned with a solid 18-carat gold Spirit of Ecstasy, enamelled and hallmarked with a bespoke “Phantom Centenary” mark. Even the famed RR badges have been plated in 24-carat gold and white enamel for the first time.

Bespoke woodwork depicts the Phantom’s most defining journeys, from Sir Henry Royce’s homes in France and England to the 4,500-mile expedition of the first Goodwood-era Phantom across Australia. Roads and landscapes are etched in gold, and interior embroidery continues these lines in gleaming thread.

The Starlight Headliner, with 440,000 stitches, portrays the mulberry tree under which Royce once worked, complete with bees from the marque’s Goodwood apiary and constellations referencing legendary Phantoms such as Sir Malcolm Campbell’s ‘Bluebird’.

Limited to 25 cars worldwide, the Phantom Centenary Private Collection stands as both an homage to Rolls-Royce’s past and a promise of its future, a modern-day heirloom crafted to be read, driven and remembered over generations.
