Authentic Atelier Swarovski Viktor & Rolf Ring Size 55(US 7) 2014 Collaboration.

This beautiful ring is from the 2014 collection which collaborated with design house Viktor &Rolf. A few words on this: “The latest partner chosen by Atelier Swarovski to express this desire to move past the nomal, to push them out of their comfort zone and elevate the brand to another level? The Dutch avant-garde rebels of fashion, the kings of dark, delicate glamour, Viktor & Rolf. Viktor Horsting en Rolf Snoeren, inspired by their Parisian flagship store completely covered in grey felt, created the Atelier Swarovski by Viktor&Rolf collection. Playing with contrasts and surrealism, and wanting to highlight the crystal in all possible ways, they pervade their touch of unexpected glamour in with the use of jet black stones in both lines of the collection, Frozen Crystals and Velvet Rock. Frozen Crystals, with it's matt and brilliant crystals placed side by side, or Velvet Rock, where velours forms a softening contrast against the hardness of the stone.” 2014 Collaboration The box and ring are in great shape BUT one of the top, dark stones may have a chip or is just set a little crooked. I thought it was a black stone but with closer inspection, appears to be a black crystal coated in an iridescent gold that has rubbed off in places. Even with a flaw, this is the ONLY ring in this color scheme I can find ANYWHERE that has this many dark crystals! Although a size 7 US, wide rings fit a lot more snug than thinner ones.
