Swarovski Unveils the Gorgeous Elis Bangle Amethyst Watch

— November 6, 2011 — Fashion
For those lovers of luxury who often find themselves staring down the barrel of a deadline, Swarovski's stunning Elis Bangle Amethyst watch is sure to keep you on time and in style.

This season, the jewelry giant Swarovski made a boldly vibrant move and selected purple amethysts as the company's autumn/winter gem of choice. The collection features many sumptuous purple pieces, but the Elis Bangle Amethyst watch certainly takes the cake.

The stainless steel curved bangle base of the watch is swathed in a mesmerizing light crystal mesh encrusted with 744 mini amethysts. The core dial itself is only 62mm; clearly spacial sacrifices had to be made to accommodate the sumptuous sparkle on this twinkling timepiece. The petite dial is spruced up with mini crystals that punctuate certain times. The Swan at 12 also carries its own sparkle with a few additional gems.

Only 1000 pieces are being produced and will sell for a retail price of $900 dollars. So, if there is a time conscious fashionista on your holiday shopping list look no further than this stunning Elis Bangle Amethyst watch.
