The crystal body jewelry was inspired by the Millenia jewelry collection, each piece is meticulously handcrafted, offering a unique beauty that complements the wearer’s radiance. These pieces can be layered over or under garments, styled with matching chokers, necklaces, and bracelets for a showstopping impact.
In addition to the jewelry, the ready-to-wear line showcases crystal-embellished silhouettes designed for every occasion. Crafted with SKIMS’ signature fabrics that effortlessly mold to the body, these empowering pieces are not only about style but also about comfort. Each garment, adorned with glittering crystals, emanates glamour and confidence.
