Beads:
Until 1892, crystal items were all hand faceted by highly skilled
professionals. Then, in 1892, Bohemian Daniel Swarovski invented a machine that
made it possible to cut and mass produce crystals. Over time, these machines
became more and more refined, resulting in the crisp facets of Swarovski
crystals and allowing the huge selection of crystal objects and beads that we
see today.
What separates crystals from glass is the high content of lead oxide
particles resulting in heaver weight and extreme sparkle.
We carry over 1400 different Swarovski cuts, colors, and sizes. In bi-cones,
we carry size 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and some 10mm. Rounds we carry in 4mm, 6mm,
8mm, 10mm, and some 12mm. Cubes we carry in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. We have 12
colors in the graphic cut, 2 sizes of the polygon cut, and the cosmic cut. We have the crystal
rondelles in 2sizes. We have the top drilled and
traditional briolette pendants as well as 2 sizes of baroque pendants.
We have a wide selection of Swarovski crystals at super prices. We
stock all our crystals loose at prices competitive with bulk prices; so you
don’t have to buy a bag of 50 or more when you only need 2 to make a pair of
earrings. Our customers appreciate that they can make the one bracelet with 7
different colors at a great price without having to invest in 50+ beads per
color.
Findings
In addition to Swarovski crystal beads, we also sell a variety of Swarovski
finding including rhinestone rondells and squaredells in sterling and base
metal, rhinestone balls, and even some vintage Swarovski findings.
