Crystal components varying in size from 3mm up to 20mm offer an extraordinary variety of colours and effects. The range includes the finest classical crystal colours as well as up to date trendy colours which can be used to make different compositions.

The faceting of each individual stone gives it its own sparkle and unique lustre. Every cut is made with absolute precision, guaranteeing maximum brilliance.

The precise hole-positioning of the crystal components facilitates the processing. Holes in Swarovski Crystal Pearls are also precise and central, and guarantee the harmonious appearance of any creation.

Swarovski encourage women to unleash their own creativity. You can copy some designs from Swarovski or be a designer yourself.

Crystal beads are the basic components in the line. Combined with crystal pearls, they can create various styles which can be classical, elegant, or avant-garde.

Other possibilities include: strings made of nylon or silk which can combine beads and pearls. Such special string can suspend the beads naturally and highlight feminine beauty.

Swarovski will teach you some of the skills involved in combining beads and string. Though some finished products look very complicated, if you learn several basic skills you will find they are actually quite simple. To make a ring can take no more than 30 minutes!

With some wire, you can make earrings, bracelets and other luxury articles.

Swarovski DIY stores can now be found in the City God Temple and Dmall near the People's Square subway station.
