Swarovski Crystal Curtain Sparkles in the Windows of Coutts on the Strand

Swarovski have created an awe-inspiring crystal curtain to adorn the window of Coutts (on the Strand, London) in celebration of the first London Jewellery Week.

The spectacular curtain sparkles with 94,500 individual Swarovski crystals, which form 2100 x 1m vertical crystal strands. Swarovski’s illuminating tapestry of cascading crystal and light serves as welcoming entrance to Coutts and aims to dazzle and delight passers-by.

The curtain will be displayed for two weeks from Monday 2nd June to Monday 16th June.
