Swarovski Crystals for Jewellery Making

Bluestreak Crystals: Authorised Swarovski Distribution Partner

Bluestreak Crystals is an official Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner. We are one of a small number of approved suppliers worldwide allowed to sell the complete genuine Swarovski jewellery making range. Every crystal comes straight from Swarovski Wattens in Austria, and each one is quality-checked.

Why Use Swarovski Crystals for Jewellery Making?

Makers choose Swarovski crystals for three reasons that cheaper glass crystals can't match: precision, consistency and easy repeats. The cut is engineered to catch the most light at every size and shape. That gives you the deep colour and sparkle that sets premium crystal jewellery apart. Because the sizing, colour and hole alignment stay the same in every batch, you can repeat a design exactly. You can also make repairs with no visible difference between the old crystal and the new one. That matters for production ranges and professional commissions, where matching keeps the finished piece looking right.

Every Swarovski crystal made since 2012 is fully lead-free and REACH-compliant, so it is safe to wear against the skin. The range covers more than 70 colours, over 30 effects and several finishes across every component type. That gives you a full palette for any design.

Swarovski Crystal Beads for Jewellery Making

Swarovski crystal beads are faceted beads with smooth, precision-drilled holes. They string easily for beadwork and jewellery assembly. The range has four bead formats, each suited to a different job:

• Swarovski bicone beads — the 5328 Xilion bicone, the most-used Swarovski bead in jewellery making. Sizes start at 2.5mm, the smallest bicone bead in the world, and go up to larger statement sizes. It is the standard choice for bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
• Swarovski round beads — the 5000 round bead, a simple sphere with clean all-round sparkle. Sizes run from 4mm to 12mm. It works well on its own in single-strand designs, or as an accent or spacer next to other beads.
• Swarovski briolette beads — the 5040 briolette, a flat donut shape with facets on both sides. It scatters light as it moves, which looks great in drop earrings and pendants.
• Swarovski cube beads — the 5601 cube, a square bead with chamfered edges for a bold, modern sparkle. It suits contemporary and fashion-led jewellery.

Swarovski Crystal Pearls for Jewellery Making

Swarovski crystal pearls have a crystal core and several nacre coating layers. This gives a smooth, flawless surface that looks just like a real pearl once set. Unlike natural or freshwater pearls, they match perfectly in size, colour and surface from one batch to the next. That matters when you need pieces in a set to match. They come in round, baroque and half-drilled formats, in classic and modern colours such as Crystal White, Crystal Cream, Crystal Peach, Crystal Rose and Crystal Iridescent Rouge.

Swarovski Crystal Pendants for Jewellery Making

Swarovski crystal pendants are faceted focal pieces with ready-drilled thread holes. You can use them straight away in necklaces and earrings, with no stone-setting skills needed. Shapes include round, pear, teardrop, heart, spike, star, butterfly and seasonal designs. Each one is cut for maximum sparkle and comes in more than 70 colours and effects. Pendants are the quickest way to add a professional focal stone to handmade jewellery.

Swarovski Chatons and Fancy Stones for Jewellery Making

Swarovski chatons and fancy stones are pointed-back crystals. You set them in metal bezels, prong settings and cup chain, rather than gluing them on. The range covers round chatons in the 1028 Xilion and 1088 Xirius cuts. It also includes fancy stones such as navettes, ovals, pears, hearts, squares and specialty shapes. Each one is cut to consistent dimensions, which you need for a secure setting. Chatons and fancy stones are the base of high-end crystal jewellery, where stones are mounted in metal instead of glued or strung.

What Swarovski Crystals Are Best for Jewellery Making?

The right crystal depends on the piece you are making and how you build it. For strung jewellery like bracelets, necklaces and earrings, start with bicone and round beads. Add pearls for elegant and bridal designs. If you need a focal stone, pendants are the fastest way to a strong centrepiece with no setting skills. Chatons and fancy stones suit makers who work with metal settings and bezels. For mixed designs, Swarovski's consistent SS sizing and colours make it easy to match beads, pearls and pendants in the same piece.
