Review - CREATE YOUR STYLE Challenge
One of the highlights of this year’s CREATE YOUR STYLE Cruise was the “CREATE YOUR STYLE Challenge”. Workshop participants teamed up in groups of up to 10 crystal enthusiasts and created sparkling design sets (necklace, bracelet, earrings) inspired by the theme “water”. The tricky part of it was that they had to use all SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS provided in their challenge kit and to incorporate at least one technique learned in the workshop throughout the five days onboard. The lovely CREATE YOUR STYLE Ambassadors were mentors of the groups and supported as well as inspired them. All designs were amazing and absolutely overwhelming and so it was extremely tough for the jury of experts to select the winners of the CREATE YOUR STYLE Challenge which were awarded with special prices.
