Recognised by Swarovski โจ
Being chosen as a Swarovski Authorised Application Centre is a distinction Swarovski grants to very few businesses worldwide. It means Swarovski has recognised our skill and standards in applying their crystals, trusting us to work with their products at the highest level.
For you, it's a powerful reassurance: the same expertise and exacting standards that earned us Swarovski's trust sit behind every genuine crystal we supply. Below, we explain what our Application Centre status means and why it matters when you choose where to buy.
Trusted Partner
Genuine & Expertly Applied
As a Swarovski Authorised Application Centre, we've met the exacting standards Swarovski requires to apply their crystals, the same expertise behind every genuine Swarovski crystal we supply.
What Authorised Means for You
"Authorised Application Centre" isn't just a title, it's a mark of trust. It means Swarovski has officially recognised Bluestreak Crystals as meeting their exacting standards for applying crystals, a level of expertise granted to very few businesses worldwide.
๐ฅ Hotfix Application
The expert application of heat-activated crystals to fabrics and textiles, using professional heat-press equipment for a secure, even bond. Recognised by Swarovski for achieving a flawless, durable finish that withstands wear, washing, and movement.
๐ Gluing
The skilled adhesive application of crystals across glass, metal, plastic, leather, and more, selecting the correct glue for each surface and project. A meticulous process that ensures every stone is set cleanly, securely, and built to last.
โ๏ธ Mechanical Application
The precise setting of crystals using mechanical fixings such as prongs and settings, with no adhesive required. Ideal for hard-wearing items and high-stress pieces, applied to the exacting standards Swarovski demands of its partners.
๐ชก Sewing
The hand and machine sewing of crystals onto garments and accessories for couture, bridal, and costume work. A specialist technique demanding precision and care, delivering the flawless, secure finish that high-end pieces require.
Our Official Certificate
As proof of our partnership, Bluestreak Crystals holds an official Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner Certificate, confirming we meet the high standards Swarovski requires of its partners. Our certificate is renewed each year, so you can always be confident our status is current and genuine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Swarovski Authorised Application Centre?
A Swarovski Authorised Application Centre is a business officially recognised by Swarovski for its skill in applying their crystals to the brand's exacting standards. It is a mark of genuine expertise, granted to very few businesses worldwide. As one of them, Bluestreak Crystals has demonstrated the techniques and quality Swarovski requires across hotfix, mechanical, gluing, and sewing application.
How is this different from being a Distribution Partner?
They are two separate Swarovski credentials. As a Distribution Partner, we are authorised to supply genuine Swarovski crystals, sourced directly from Austria. As an Application Centre, we are recognised for our expertise in applying those crystals to the standard Swarovski expects. Holding both means we are trusted by Swarovski to both supply and work with their products.
What types of crystal application does the status cover?
Our Application Centre status covers four core methods: hotfix application using heat-activated crystals, mechanical application using fixings and settings, gluing across a wide range of surfaces, and hand and machine sewing for couture, bridal, and costume work. Each is carried out to the precise standards Swarovski requires of its application partners.
Does Swarovski work with Bluestreak directly?
Yes. From time to time, Swarovski themselves call on our team to carry out embellishment work for their own events, gifts, and prizes. It is a strong sign of the trust Swarovski places in our expertise, and the same skill and care sit behind every genuine crystal we supply to you.
Why does this matter when I buy crystals from you?
It is a reassurance of expertise and authenticity. The same standards that earned us Swarovski's recognition as an Application Centre sit behind everything we supply. When you buy from us, you are buying from a business trusted by Swarovski to work with their products, not just to sell them.
Can I see proof of your Application Centre status?
Yes. We display our official Swarovski Authorised Application Centre Certificate on this page, which confirms we meet the high standards Swarovski requires of its application partners. Our certificate is renewed each year, so you can always be confident our status is current and genuine.

You can buy the complete range of genuine Swarovski crystals directly from Bluestreak Crystals, an Authorised Distribution Partner and Application Centre.
