Swarovski Launches Jewelry Collection Inspired by Hollywood for the Oscars

Atelier Swarovski has announced that they will be launching  a gorgeous jewelry collection inspired by the glamour of old Hollywood. The retro-inspired collection has a vintage look similar to jewelry from the 1920’s and 1930’s.  You can imagine one of the pieces on Jean Harlow in Dinner at Eight or on Gloria Swanson in Tonight or Never.
