As a jewellery maker, I'm constantly looking for high quality products to add to each piece. The Swarovski crystals have become a staple for me.

Because Swarovski crystals are machine-cut, there's great precision on each crystal. They are beautifully made, very high quality pieces that are manufactured to be as close in size and shape as possible.

The variety of sizes, colours, finishes, and shapes is astounding. There are so many types to choose from, and they are always coming out with new ones. Some colours and shapes become discontinued over time, which is unfortunate, but these things happen. You're bound to fall in love with another one from the collection.

These are so beautiful and versatile. You can use them in pretty well any project and have it turn out well! If theprice scares you off, there are some good places to buy online which are much cheaper. I can buy hundreds for the same amount as buying 25 at my local craft store.
