Crystal-Studded Iconic Figurines

These Swarovski Figurines Add Bling to Micky and Minnie Mouse

— July 17, 2013 — Luxury
Swarovski figurines are known for adding glittering crystals to some of the simplest and most well-known designs out there, but the latest creations from the luxury jewelry brand take this combination of pop culture and crystals to a whole new level. These Mickey and Minnie Mouse figurines are covered head to toe with shining, Swarovski crystals.

Titled ‘The Royal Couple of Disney,’ these figurines are decked out with thousands of glittering crystals. Minnie rocks a huge 31,000, while Mickey, who is slightly more modest, showcases 21,000. The figurines look exactly like their original cartoon inspirations. Minnie’s red, polka dot dress and Mickey’s cheeky suspenders are just as eye-catching and nostalgia-inducing as they were on television. However, instead of using art supplies to create this effect, Swarovski went with the medium of luxurious crystals.

With these figurines, cartoon lovers can finally pay tribute to their favorite characters with a product luxurious enough to be worthy of the likes of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
