Swarovski Chart & Book

CRYSTALLIZEDTM - Swarovski Elements colour charts are a very useful tool for makers and especially jewellery businesses. The chart has all the latest Swarovski colours, effects and bead shapes. Making it easier to make those all important colour choices, or for your customers to see the range of colours that their item can be made in.

The Create Your Style team at Swarovski has been puting together Inspiration guides for a while now. In the form of books featuring amazing items of jewellery by designers from all over the world. They have previously only been available to browse through, however we are pleased to annouce their most recent edition, taking inspiration from Africa & Scandinavia, is available to buy.

New Wood, Nut & Seed Range 
 
Wooden Bayong NecklaceThis range of interesting natural beads have been made from wood, nuts and seeds. We have a range of 7 different types, with a variety of warm colours & fun textures. This lovely necklace was made with the Bayong wooden beads, the unusual shape of these beads inspired Helen to create this intricate linked design.

Cupchain Shower Necklace
Chain is a very versatile material and doesn't just have to be used for hanging beads and pendants from, why not make the chain the feature. Using gold and silver plated lengths of chain and cupchain Rachel has created this simple yet elegantly stylish necklace.

A big thank you to everyone who has given feedback on our site.
 
Over the last few months our website has grown a great deal and has become a little difficult to navigate - a little difficult you might think is an understatement!
There are 437 pages at the last count.
 
We have been thinking very hard about the comments and suggestions sent in by customers concerning our site and we have made a start with the front index page. 
 
 Over the next few weeks you will hopefully see and experience our 3 legged donkey of a site turn in to a throughbred race horse.
 
Please continue to give us feedback so that we may make your bead buying a much greater pleasure.

 Hints & Tips
 
 Jump Ring Spacer Bracelets

Jump rings are one of the most useful findings and I'm sure most of us have a stash of several different sizes amongst our jewellery making materials. Well they don't just have to be used as useful connecting components! They can be used as spacers too like these examples show, we found that 8mm & 6mm jumprings worked well for these bracelets.
