After teasing a new Motorola and Swarovski collaboration a few weeks ago, the companies on Tuesday are debuting new editions of the Razr phone and the Moto Buds Loop that are adorned with crystals.
The phone and the earbuds are being sold in a $1,000 bundle called The Brilliant Collection, which features both devices in their new Pantone Ice Melt models. Motorola says that this edition of the Razr will have a leather-inspired finish that includes 35 Swarovski crystals, including one larger crystal with 26 facets on its hinge.
The included Moto Buds Loop -- which previously launched with a French Oak color model that also features Swarovski crystals -- have a similar Ice Melt shade to match up with the phone.

The Razr normally costs $700 and the Moto Buds Loop are $300, so if you were intent on getting both devices anyway then getting them in this collection is the same price while getting the crystals. However, Motorola also happens to be running a sale on the 2025 Razr line at the time of this announcement, marking down the non-Ice Melt models to $600.
The Brilliant Collection bundle is the latest expansion of materials that Motorola has been bringing to its phones, which on its $1,300 Razr Ultra also include wood and Alcantara fabric. Considering how the Ultra is already making use of those materials as a selling point, I'm surprised that the lower-cost Razr is first to debut a model that features crystals. But it could be a matter of time before the Razr Ultra gets its own Swarovski collaboration, and Motorola isn't alone right now in providing a stylish refresh on its foldable phone line.
Case in point, this launch comes a few weeks after rival Samsung launched its own line of foldable phones, including the redesigned $2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7, the $1,100 Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the $900 Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
