Swarovski launches Octagon Collection featuring proprietary diamond cut
Swarovski has launched a new Swarovski Created Diamonds Collection built around a proprietary cut. Dubbed the "Octagon Collection", it showcases a patented octagon-shaped cut inspired by the house's logo, designed by global creative director Giovanna Engelbert. The patented Octagon cut features 57 facets: 32 on the pavilion, 24 on the crown, and one on the table. This result is a stone that delivers greater brilliance than traditional emerald or baguette cuts. The Octagon Collection includes ten pieces, each featuring bezel set Octagon cut laboratory grown diamonds and precious metals. The line includes a pendant available in white or yellow gold, mini hoop earrings in yellow gold, white gold stud earrings, a yellow gold bracelet, solitaire rings in white or yellow gold—including a horizontal setting option in two sizes—and a band ring offered in both white and yellow gold. 'A new chapter in Swarovski savoir-faire, the Octagon cut, and its namesake fine jewelry collection, balances the timeless elegance of laboratory grown diamonds with distinctive designs to shine a light on life's defining moments—from celebrations and achievements to personal joys and proposals of forever,' the company said in a statement.

Swarovski Unveils Summer Terrace Takeover at Cracco Portofino in Italy
The Austrian crystal brand reveals a new terrace experience at one of Portofino's most prominent dining destinations. This summer, the glamour of Swarovski meets the charm of the Italian Riviera as the Austrian crystal house transforms the terrace of Cracco Portofino into a sparkling seasonal escape. Overlooking the marina and shaded in signature hues, the new Swarovski Terrace invites guests into a branded experience that fuses coastal leisure with precision design—just in time for the height of the Portofino social calendar. Building on the concept first introduced during the 'Masters of Light: From Vienna to Milan' exhibition in 2024, the new Portofino iteration carries over similar aesthetic elements, including the use of vibrant colours and crystal-themed decor. The outdoor terrace has been redesigned with branded parasols, a welcome desk at sea level, and a Swarovski-branded octagonal frame positioned for scenic photographs. Guests visiting the terrace will be able to sample a curated menu featuring sweet and savoury items, including a bespoke cocktail and dessert developed in collaboration with chef Carlo Cracco. The dishes will be served on Swarovski x Rosenthal porcelain tableware, designed by Swarovski's Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert. Located along the Gulf of Tigullio, Cracco Portofino is known for highlighting regional ingredients through a fine dining lens. The Swarovski Terrace activation introduces a branded experience without disrupting the core culinary focus of the restaurant. Reservations can now be made through Cracco Portofino Restaurant, though limited walk-in seating is also available.

Oscar Engelbert: A Thoughtful Approach to Contemporary Real Estate Development
Oscar Engelbert has spent the last two decades developing residential and commercial properties with a strong focus on architectural design, material integrity, and urban relevance. His work, which began in Stockholm and has since expanded to major U.S. markets, reflects a consistent effort to align real estate development with long-term cultural and environmental context. Engelbert first came to public attention in the early 2000s through a series of adaptive reuse projects in central Stockholm. These early developments involved the careful restoration of former industrial buildings, transforming them into modern residences while preserving their historical character. The approach was notable for its restraint and attention to detail, favoring natural materials, clean lines, and spatial clarity. These projects quickly gained visibility within Sweden's design community and contributed to a wider conversation about the value of design-driven housing. His work gradually evolved to include ground-up developments in collaboration with international architecture firms. Among the most prominent are 79&Park , designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), and Norra Tornen , designed by OMA and Reinier de Graaf. Both projects received international recognition for their architectural innovation and for introducing new forms of residential living to Stockholm. 79&Park , located on the edge of Stockholm's Gärdet park, features a terraced, cedar-clad structure that emphasizes greenery, light, and openness. The design integrates the building into its surroundings while offering residents privacy and a strong connection to the landscape. It received several awards, including honors from the International Property Awards and Architizer A+. Norra Tornen , a pair of high-rise towers completed in 2020, introduced a new typology to the city's skyline. Built using prefabricated concrete modules, the project was recognized with the International High-Rise Award for its combination of bold form, construction efficiency, and livability. In 2022, Engelbert shifted his focus away from new development in Sweden. Responding to changes in the European market and broader economic conditions, he redirected his attention to the United States. Working alongside his wife and business partner, Giovanna Engelbert, he began acquiring and repositioning commercial properties in Los Angeles. His work in the U.S. includes the redevelopment of 1601 Vine Street in Hollywood and the acquisition of 331 N Maple Drive in Beverly Hills. Both properties were purchased during a period of market uncertainty and are being reoriented to serve creative and fashion-oriented tenants. These projects reflect a shared interest in adapting spaces to new uses, with attention to both cultural fit and long-term value. Together, Oscar and Giovanna Engelbert approach real estate as a form of cultural infrastructure—where design, function, and human experience intersect. As he continue to expand his presence in the United States, his work remains centered on quality, adaptability, and meaningful architectural expression. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
