After much sourcing and searching to find the most suitable crystals when only the finest in the world will do, I have at last found the fountain of the most beautiful Swarovski crystals. I couldn’t believe they were so tiny. They have to be my best find ever and it was worth all the time I spent in communication with the head office in Austria which eventually led to a distributor here in the UK.

Each of these 4 sizes of crystal has a foiled back which reflects light on it’s own. Each pack costs
£8.25 for a 1/4 pack with approximately 360 pieces which will make several tiaras and trim the upper edge of two wedding bodices. See below for unfoiled clear crystals and my exclusive Swarovski crystal glitter!!

The clear crystals are also available with an unfoiled back and these are the crystals I use extensively for my gowns and the tiaras shown above. They don’t shine so brightly on their own as the foiled variety, but when the light catches them they are simply stunning. These crystals are available in the last three sizes pp6, 8 and 10 or you can ask for a ‘Mixed Pack’ which has all three sizes included. £8.25 for a 1/4 pack

I am delighted to offer you exclusively at the cottage Swarovski clear crystal glitter. How exciting is that. When only the very best will do for a special project, I have the most beautiful crystal particles from Swarovski which they have produced as a special request. I know you are going to love this exciting new product. £14.25 1/2 pack
1/2 pack is approx. 720 particles which will cover one square inch. Pepper the neckline of a miniature bridal gown and place it in the light, stand back and watch it shimmer - it is truly breathtaking. This is strictly for the connoisseur, beware it is most addictive.

On a final note, as I was hot on the Swarovski trail, I was just overwhelmed by the wealth of products available. There are approximately 80 colours of these beautiful crystals and beads and this is perhaps just the beginning. I have started with a range which I think will offer you the most inspiration. Not all the colours are available in the smaller sizes so I had to bring you the most varied range possible. I hope you enjoy working with these wonderful crystals. This is only the tip of the iceberg, there is so much more ahead of us and I hope to be able to bring you so much more in the future. I need to assess how popular they are going to be before we can expand further. If there is anything in particular you may be interested in, please get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.
