The newest product innovations from CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements including dark indigo and Indian pink, two eye-catching crystal colors, and the rich crystal Bordeaux pearl. New colors and sizes have also arrived in popular crystal shapes, such as teardrops and octagons. Highly requested hot fix crystals make their debut with the Hot-Fix Heater™ tool to make it easier than ever to embellish clothing, shoes, handbags and more.

Glass beads are a huge component for jewelry designs this year, creating affordable style. Knowing this, you’ll find a large selection of affordable glass beads and components in popular styles, cuts and colors. Brilliant true-color glass, flashing facets and glistening foil accents add elegance and brighten jewelry designs. Attach a sterling silver ice-pick bail (page 42) and transform the components into striking pendants.

There’s plenty of time to design Easter Egg Earrings using CRYSTALLIZED™ beads. Great for beading classes, make copies of the illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions (page 210) and create the perfect Easter accessory.

Have fun planning your next jewelry design!
