Elephant Parade & the Pearly Prince

Photography by Snappylifestyle

The World Land Trust (WLT) elephant has been designed by SHO Fine Jewellery in partnership with Swarovski to produce what is expected to be one of the most glamorous and eye catching elephants of the parade.  Named the Pearly Prince, the elephant features a different design on each side.  One half is covered in Swarovski crystal pearls with the other side showing a pearl and crystal encrusted skeleton, symbolising what may be the fate of the Asian elephants if action is not taken to protect their threatened habitats.  It is the only elephant in the parade with tusks and features 11,000 Swarovski pearls and 13,000 crystals and took 480 hours to create.  Wow, talk about bespoke with luxury for a wonderful cause.  You can see this magnificent elephant at Coutts & Co.
