Bling My Thing Blog

Following the success of its Simple is Beautiful Collection of cases for the iPhone 3G and 3GS, we have launched ESCAPE series of transparent protective case for iPad. The durable hard cases offer excellent protection to the iPad while keeping the sleek design of the iPad intact. Each case is coated with a special anti-scratch layer on which SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS are carefully embedded into holes by skilled BMT craftsmen.

There are 4 colour combinations to choose from. Crystal Mix, Pink Mix (contains Light Rose, Rose and Fuchsi), Energy Mix (contains Light Topaz, Light Siam and Sun) and Blue Mix (contains Aquamarine, Capri Blue and Dark Indigo). This is our newest design - because iPad is so big, I needed to come up with a new design, which was a bit different from those on iPhones.The ESCAPE design covers the whole iPad well without interfering with the sleekness of iPad. My favourite colour combination is the Energy Mix - don’t know why but it makes me happy! The front screen of the iPad will be also protected if you put the iPad on your desk while you show off your bling. This is because the outer frame of the case is slightly higher than the screen itself so it will never be touching the desk directly, if you know what I mean. And of course, all the ports are open, you can put your headphones and connecting cables without any problem.

Retail price: surprisingly affordable, 59.99 Euro!

We’ve blinged many LCD TVs before… but THIS, was by far the hottest piece we have ever worked on. It is amazing to see how strong Fuchsia crystals are! Simple designs can be so strong. I seriously thought of keeping it to myself!Paris Hilton came to Germany some days ago and this was a little surprise present for the heirness. I thought that Fuchsia and Jet combination would the best for a grown-up IT girl… I love Rose and Light Rose but they are rather… girly. I think Fuchsia has more personality and I just love it unconditionally.Shame that there wasn’t much to bling apart from the frame of this stunning 40″LCD TV - over 14,000 CRYSTALLIZED TM - Swarovski Elements were used to complete this masterpiece.If I had this TV, I wouldn’t use it to watch TV because it will surely distract me. Ideally it should rotate under a spotlight in the middle of my living room… ahhhhh it would be so cool!!!This TV would certainly make the world the more sparkly place

  Here we are in Bangkok, again, being the successful bling bling match-maker  This time we got Chevrolet and Swarovski together, and our Chevrolet Captiva has been definitely one of the most photographed car in the show so far. I bet that’s because they can feel much LOVE poured into making this! Using over 150,000 CRYSTALLIZED TM - Swarovski Elements, every crystal has been applied one-by-one by our skilled craftsman. Over 300 hours have been spent in creating this masterpiece, decorating almost every outer chrom parts with diamond-like “Crystal” colour whilst adding some glamorous accent on the gold Chevrolet logo with “Light Colorado Topaz” CRYSTALLIZED TM - Swarovski Elements. Interior of the vehicle, on the other hand, has been mostly crystallized with Black Diamond, which sparkles with subtle elegance.  The vehicle is an ultimate model-car, which presents all the possibilities of how one can upgrade their vehicles with CRYSTALLIZED TM - Swarovski Elements with ease. It was not at all my intention to create something which can only become a show-car with ridiculous prices. This Chevrolet Captiva presents a collection of all the available, REALISTIC options one can choose in personalising their vehicles, and yes, it is affordable, too! If you like colours, choose one (or more!) from over 60 different stunning colours from Swarovski - or construct some patterns or add motives. Personalise it with your own initials or names.  The complete customisation including crystals on the custom wheels is priced at 1 million Baht (approx. 21,000 Euro). We already have orders to crystallise the number plate frames, logos and emblems. Let’s see, how fast the bling epidemic would spread across them!Sparkly yours,M.O.A.B. 

That’s right, this is THE most exclusive table football completely encrusted with over 150,000 Swarovski crystals. It took us weeks to produce… lots of work hard got into it, but it was really worth it at the end. It is currently presented in Harrods, London, with the price of 80,000 pounds.

So…. we are back from CeBIT now. It was pretty hectic but we did achieve what we wanted: to let the world know who we are, and to show off our products! It was quite a surprise that many people knew us already - a lot of teenagers told us that they saw our blinged Xbox in the internet! I guess our Lara Craft Xbox was quite an inspiration So sweet. It was nice to talk to different people and tell our story…We just found 3 videos about us inYoutube.com! Take a look!

Frankly, we almost got a heart attack when this Greenpeace guy started to swing the laptop around (happens around 2:27).
Imagine if it falls….!!!!

A German webblog introduces Bling My Thing (in German)Here are a few things about our MacBook Air which I failed to mention in my previous blog entry. May be you have read our
press release already? Here they are:1) There are only 20 pieces made in the world2) Each comes in an exclusive hard box
with the engraved serial number3) The price is 20,000 GBP.I would like to emphasise again, that this is a truly unique piece
of art. This is the first attempt to create a fusion between art, Swarovski crystals and gold. We will try to upload more
photos of this laptop in our homepage and further in this blog so that you could “feel” and “understand” what it is.If you
are in the London, please visit Selfridges in Oxford Street. You will be able to see our MacBook Air IN LIVE!!! We are starting
to produce the third one now - well, it really does take a long time to make.Sparkly yours,MOAB

…. because there are too many attributes to affect the price! The price would depends on:

1. Colour: certain crystals are more expensive

2. Size: the smaller the more expensive

3. Hand-painting: if we paint the surface first prior to applying crystals, this service would cost extra.

4. Details: the more complex the design is, the more expensive it is.

If you want to find out how much it would cost to crystallise your beloved object, please let us know what you want us to crystallise, and with what design. Our designer will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you have visited our website, you may have noticed that our emphasis lies on delivering the best quality crystal art in the market. We simply refuse to deliver mediocre quality handicrafts made of huge stones or motif done without handpainting prior to applying crystals. We just want to do the best there is since the market is filled with “commodity” rather than arts like ours.

Many of our designs are ORIGINAL - like Hermitage, Vogue, Fairy Tale, Secret, Matrix…. We hardly work on templates, and it is always done as free style to express individual taste of designers. We strive for improving our designs, too. If you see the late Hermitage designs, you will find that there are additional crystal elements to add extra glamour to the design. Swarovski has so many beautiful crystals in different shapes. We are always keen on implementing new tastes into our designs so that they will continue to be more exciting. “Secret” is our latest creation, where a designer pours her imagination into the piece to create the truly unique piece of art. Now that I am coming back from Japan with all these wonderful jewelry pieces to go with the crystals, we are able to offer a larger spectrum of variety in this design category. I will certainly talk about this design individually in this blog ….

[Sometimes we say NO to certain design wishes]

I just want to mention something: although we do everything for our customers, there are some limits. We do not reproduce any copyrighted designs (unless you have a written permission) and we do not do partial crystallisation.

Partial crystallisation

There is also a reason why prefer not, e.g. just do initials, or sprinkle a few crystals around the surface. We know, that they are inclined to come off. We only want to deliver a lasting solution, and we just do not feel comfortable that such designs carry more risk of being destroyed.

Since we give one year warranty on our craftsmanship, we are only able to warranty the quality if it is done correctly, i.e. crystals are also adhered side-by-side to offer a strong & optimal combined adhesion to the surface.

Our glue has been long researched and it has the highest adhesion property. Compared to many of the normal glues used for crystal application, we use an industrial level 2-component glue, which ensures the longetivity of designs. So compared to most of the glue in the market, it has the best chance of surviving alone. If the customer insists and is aware of the risk, we would do it, but without any warranty on the craftsmanship. We would still recommend that she/he would take the utmost care to protect the object with a shock-absorbant bag or so. After all, it is not longer an object - it is a portable jewelry piece!
