Community Completes The Trilogy: From its very beginnings two decades ago, the Swarovski Crystal Society (SCS), which now unites close to 400,000 members in 130 countries, has fascinated crystal enthusiasts the world over. The anniversary year 2007 sees the arrival of Community, the third and final object of the limited Trilogy Wonders of the Sea. Additionally, SCS members can purchase a specially created exclusive Anniversary Edition, packed with symbolism: a little sparkling Collector made of exquisitely crafted crystal.
It was the majestic, fluid, harmonious quality of the banner fish that provided the well-known Swarovski crystal designer Heinz Tabertshofer with the inspiration for Community. Elegant, trailing dorsal fins lend these shimmering marine dwellers with the characteristic white, yellow and black stripes their distinctive charm.
The natural habitat of the banner fish are the coral reefs of the tropical oceans, which offer them food as well as shelter from predators and other dangers of the submarine world. Today, interference by man and global warming are endangering the delicate balance of the reefs' ecosystems. The Annual Edition 2007 serves to raise awareness of this problem
Unique Trilogy: The Wonders of the Sea Trilogy, which started in 2005, was the first Swarovski Annual Edition to be offered in two different versions. The freestanding design objects are available in a choice of clear or coloured crystal. The first motif, Harmony, which depicted Clownfish in their natural habitat, was followed in 2006 by Eternity”, the Turtle. The charming trio of banner fish completes the trilogy.
