NEW FOR AUTUMN 2009

Greige
Perfectly in line with the ongoing trend for opalescence, the subtle tones of Greige bring refinement and elegance to the CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements colour range. The hue’s understated shine allows for sophisticated colour combinations and tone-on-tone applications.

Cyclamen Opal
Fuchsia conveys ideas of happiness, beauty and femininity. Soft yet shiny, Cyclamen Opal is a glorious complement to the CRYSTALLIZED™ colour range – a delicate highlight in tone-on-tone combinations with, for example, reds, fuchsias and browns.

Crystal Metallic Light Gold
Rich and precious looking, Crystal Metallic Light Gold is a scintillating addition to the range of metallic effects. Its light, shimmering tones provide a gorgeous accent to on-trend demure styles and vintage looks.

More About Us

The application of Swarovski hotfix flat back crystals gives that special occasion garment an extra sparkle to lift it to another level. Hotfix flat back Swarovskicrystals are easy to apply with a dry iron. To help prevent scorching and shining without cutting down on the heat whilst applying the crystals Beads and Crystals sell a brilliant cloth with a 100% PTFE coating which will not mark the bottom of the iron. The cloth is ideal when using crystal transfers. For individual stones Beads and Crystals recommend the use of the electric powered Kandi Kane Crystal Applicator Wand which comes complete with 10 tips and free tweezers and wire cleaning brush.

To give a favourite jacket or coat an updated fashionable look and new lease of life why not replace the existing buttons with Swarovski crystal buttons available from Beads and crystals in a range of shapes sizes and colours. Beads and crystals also stock CRYSTALLIZED™ Buttons, Trims Buckles and Zips together with Swarovski Crystal Elastic to modify existing garments or assist with the creation of a new design.

Why not use Swarovski flat back crystals either Hotfix or Non Hotfix to personalise at T shirt or cap when attending a sporting event or going clubbing. Why not create your own logo using Hotfix transfer film or ask Beads and Crystals about our bespoke transfer service. Strictly Come Dancing has sparkle and so can you using the Swarovski Flatback crystals.

Use Swarovski scatter crystals / table crystals to add that little extra to the table at a Wedding Breakfast or Dinner party, Beads and Crystals stock both the pointy back crystals and the double sidedchatons in a range of sizes and colours.

For wedding dresses Beads and Crystals stock Swarovski crystals with a pearl finish which add glamour to a dress for those Brides who like to keep the crystal sparkle for clubbing and prefer a more subdued elegance for their big day. Beads and Crystals also stock Swarovski® transmission crystals design for use on the Bride’s veil, these crystals do not show up as dark spots on photographs and so avoid the measles effect.

The Swarovski® non hotfix crystals are ideal for use on delicate fabrics and other materials such as leather that will not take heat. Beads and Crystals supply three adhesives, all tried and tested, for different uses, if you wish to “Bling” your trainers or converse shoes, wedding shoes want to cut a dash on the dance floor when out clubbing we at Beads and Crystals recommend E- 6000 glue or Gem Tac

E-6000 is a unique adhesive formulated to meet high-performance industrial requirements. It adheres to more surfaces than virtually any other adhesive. E-6000 has exceptional adhesion to wood, metal, glass, fibreglass, ceramics, masonry and concrete. Not for use on Styrofoam. It also adheres strongly to leather, rubber, vinyl and many plastics. Because it is abrasion-resistant E-6000 may be used on high-wear surfaces. E-6000 maintains its flexible bond in cold temperatures and may be used to bond items subject to vibration. The clear E-6000 is not formulated for exposure to sunlight. For these applications, paint over E-6000 after it has cured.

For crystallizing your mobile phone, laptop, data pen, mirrors or attach beads and pearls to jewellery wire and other stringing materials Beads and Crystals recommend using using GS Hypo Cement. The precision applicator nozzle allows you to place small quantities of glue inside beads without creating a mess. Great for assembling illusion or floating designs with crystal beads,plastic beads, glass beads, metal beads, and ceramic beads. The cement dries clear, will not bond your fingers, and will not damage the surface to which it is applied. The precision applicator has the added advantage of cutting down waste.

As an all round adhesive Beads and Crystals recommend Gem-Tac. Gem-Tac glue makes its very easy to embellish clothes, jeans, jackets, dance wear, ballroom gowns, wedding dresses, costumes, purses, mobile phones, glasses, the list is endless! Gem-Tac is great for adding that extra touch of sparkle on to denim, fabrics, leather, also great for bonding lace, fabrics, trims, and decorative wire to glass, ceramics, patent leather, wood, vinyl, and even some plastics. Gem-Tac bonds gems, sequins, glitter and Swarovski rhinestones to fabrics, glass, vinyl, metal and patent leather. This terrific multi-purpose adhesive dries crystal clear and is washable, best of all its non-toxic and non-flammable.

Bead onto this thin, tempered stainless steel wire to create chokers, bracelets, anklets and rings that make a bold bead statement. Rigid Remembrance Memory Wire is corrosion and tarnish-resistant and, like a spring, it snaps back to its original form when expanded and released. Use Memory Wire Shears to cut Memory Wire, and finish-off designs with Memory Wire End Caps Beadalon Chain Use a little or a lot of this Silver and Gold plated Chain to add appeal and create drama in beaded designs. Short lengths of Chain lend a sparkling touch: add a hanging chain tassel from your beaded designs for a signature look. Use long lengths of Chain with the clasp of your choice to create bracelets and necklaces with beaded accents. In Addition Swarovski Crystal Rondelle spacers, bars and balls. These look great as a spacer beads. As a suggestion why not incorporate them with the Swarovski pearls as a bracelet or necklace combined they look lovely! Headpins - sterling, silver plated and gold plated Use Sterling Silver Head Pins for making earrings, or drops for necklaces and bracelets.
