PLEASE NOTE: We have finally run out of Swarovski stock in several birthstone months and those month charms are now made with PRECIOSA stones. Eventually, all birthstone months will be made with the PRECIOSA stones. PRECIOSA stones are very similar to the Swarovski ones.
So please keep in mind that first we will fill your order with Swarovski stone charms and if we do not have those then your order will be filled with PRECIOSA stone based charms. ***
One of the differences between Swarovski stone and PRECIOSA stone is that the PRECIOSA stone thickness is symmetric on both sides while Swarovski stone is more raised on one side than the other side. Also, Colors of PRECIOSA stones are almost identical to Swarovaki stones. Actually, PRECIOSA stones are slightly brighter in comparison to Swarovski stones except PRECIOSA Amethyst is a slightly darker.
Overall, PRECIOSA stones are the closest alternative to Swarovski stones.
These channel set Swarovski connectors are made with highly faceted Swarovski 1128 SS29 stones which is channel set in a brass bezel plated with 15 mil gold plating. The plating is also anti tarnish. Bezel has 2 rings which make them connectors which are also known as links.
We sell these in all birthstone colors. Please note that this size and shape (1128 SS29) stone is not available in light siam or ruby color. So the siam color stone is used for both January and July birthstone months.
We sell these in a variety of ways. Most popular way to buy these is in birthstone sets. In a birthstone set one gets the same number of connectors for each month. So in a set of 60, one will get 5 birthstone colors for each month. Set of 60 is a great way to start with these. Once you start using them you can buy them in a larger size set which are more economical or by individual birthstone month color.
You can also get volume discount when you purchase these per birth month
These are ideal for birthstone link bracelets, necklaces. Can also be connected to ear wires on one end and a charm or perhaps feather on the other end. There are many possibilities, awaken your imagination!
*** You may also purchase these from our no minimum purchase required website, Beadprism.com. Please note that the pricing there may be different. *** |
