The Swarovski Tiara, which for decades has graced debutantes at the Vienna Opera Ball, one of the most prestigious events on the European social calendar, has been revealed today.

Designed by Swarovski Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert, the 2024 tiara is inspired by Austrian imperial jewellery and Swarovski’s Mesmera jewellery family. Each piece is meticulously crafted from 233 clear crystals in mixed cuts, cascading down from oversized stones to smaller cuts.

Shining with grandeur, the tiara’s crystal stones are elegantly arranged like dancers on a ballroom floorand are crafted to glimmer in the light with every movement.

Giovanna Engelbert, Swarovski Creative Director, commented:“I took my inspiration from my Mesmera jewellery family, both refined and dazzling by design. I hope the tiara will empower this year’s debutantes with an empress-like confidence, and when they take them home as mementos of a magical night, they will feel inspired to follow their dreams.”
