Swarovski crystals have been showing up everywhere lately, particularly in consumer gadgets such as high-end cell phones and televisions. Now, thanks to this strange design, not even your peepers are safe from Swarovski-adornment.

Indian designer Anthony Mallier has come up with ‘Sparkle’, a design that incorporates those aforementioned diamond-like crystals into contact lenses for yet another, albeit original, blinged-up fashion accessory.

The design was conceived for Swarovski’s recent design competition called Crystal Vision which attracted 4074 entrants from 92 countries. You can have a snoop at all of the entrants over at DesignBoom. Sparkle took second place.

It makes me wonder if this design could ever come to fruition. Is it possible, not only to cut a crystal into such a miniscule size, but to also embed it into a highly flexible lens about a millimeter thin. Am I over thinking this? Just a design you say? Okay then…innit purdy!
