The latest precision cutting technology has now made it possible to create the 5750 Skull Beads, an exceptionally unique masterpiece in crystal design. The highly sophisticated multi-layer cut offers exceptional subtlety and delicacy in its profiling of the skull. It is available in a 13mm and a 19mm in blue and black tones, gleaming metallics, or eye-catching effects such as Crystal Astral Pink and Crystal Aurora Borealis.
These are an edgy extension of Swarovski’s crystal product range. The Skull Bead fits perfectly with any expressive design direction.

New Swarovski 5054 Mini Rhombus Bead
(This color is Indicolite, please contact us if you are interested in this color)
The classic diamond shape of this Mini Rhombus shape is a beautiful and delicate new addition to the mini bead assortment. This is a timeless style that offers a sophisticated quality with brilliant multi-layered facets that adds remarkable versatility to designs.
The Mini Rhombus Bead comes in a classic diamond shape and is a beautifully delicate addition to the mini bead portfolio. Offered with the same sophisticated, brilliantly multi-layered cut, and in the same 6 mm and 8 mm sizes as the popular Round, Oval, and Square minis, it also comes in 11 effects and 8 colors. Its small size makes it the perfect choice for layering into delicate and intricate looks, or it can be used to offset bigger stones. This versatility extends to both masculine and feminine designs, and it looks great when used to add a striking sheen to graphic patterns.
How to use: Beading, stringing, wiring, sewing, weaving – everything is possible with the Mini Rhombus Bead. Combine with the existing mini bead portfolio (its hole length matches the Swarovski 5052 Mini Round Beads and the Swarovski 5053 Mini Square Beads) to create opulent designs using many beads, or subtle highlights using a select few.
New Swarovski 5055 Mini Rectangle Beads
As a versatile cut offering myriad combination possibilities in size, pattern, and color, the classic rectangle shape that the Mini Rectangle Bead offers, is ideal for use in DIY designs, and to create precious highlights in jewelry. They are available in the 8×6 mm and the 10×8 mm. Convincing as a minimalist and refined design element, it looks great as a standalone feature or in combination with other materials and will never go out of fashion. Although each cut has its unique fascination, the Mini Rectangle is offered in the same range of colors as other mini beads to make the mini bead family even more dazzling in its unity. (contact us for more color options than what is listed on line).
New Swarovski 5056 Mini Drop Beads
The 5056 Mini Drop Bead features the definitive teardrop shape and is a beautifully delicate addition to the mini bead portfolio. A sophisticated juxtaposition of a soft shape with a geometric cut, the Mini Drop Bead offers superb versatility and is ideal for updating any design. Available in the 10×6 mm and the 12×8 mm sizes, it also comes in 11 effects and 8 colors (contact us for more color options than the ones listed on line).
New Swarovski 6022 XIRIUS Raindrop Pendants
This brand new design from Swarovski is a modern interpretation of a classic cut displaying dramatic and spectacular chaton-cut faceting structure fashioned into a drop pendant that is perfect for both elegant and futuristic designs. For the first time its colorful effect is applied from the top, rather than the side, to achieve a homogenous look. When seen from the side it has a classic appearance, but when viewed from below, the masterpiece of a dazzling kaleidoscopic effect is revealed.
Its conical shape adds sculptural volume, which meets the current demand for architectural pieces and progressive 3D design. It is particularly effective when used to create stand-out statement pieces, and when combined with smaller sizes its water-inspired droplet shape has an exciting nature-tech appearance. This exceptional style can be utilized in necklaces, earrings and eye-catching charm bracelets that are available in a 14 mm, 24 mm, 32 mm and a 33 mm.
The kaleidoscopic complexity of the XIRIUS cut finds its match only in nature’s miracles: captured in the new XIRIUS Raindrop Pendant is the beauty and wonder of a fresh summer shower. The drop motif is the perfect embodiment of Swarovski’s most brilliant crystal. Look at it from the side—a classic. Look at it from below—a phenomenon!

The Pantone Color of the year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid!
This gorgeous and delightfully alluring fusion of brilliant purple and fuchsia undertones is absolutely stunning. I have to say, I Love this color! It’s energetic, joyful and inspires my artistic/creative juices to start flowing.
“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”
“An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.”
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.
The alluring Swarovski effect of Crystal Lilac Shadow compliments the Radiant Orchid color beautifully. The rich purple tones and hints of pink mixed with a crystal sparkle is a n exquisite tone in-of-it-self and blends very nicely with other Swarovski colors such as Crystal Antique Pink, Light Amethyst, Light Amethyst Satin, and Violet Satin. The Violet is a lighter more delicate shade of Radiant Orchid and bothe the Lilac and Amethyst are deeper hues of this charming color. The unique coating of Crystal Vitrail Light is another Swarovski effect that is a soft yet stunning lighter lavender tone with hints of crystal sparkle.
Have fun creating new and innovative designs inspired by this lovely and delightful 2014 Pantone color of the year!
