Colored Rhondelles

We just received good news from Swarovski ®. It has been a long time coming but the COLORED RHONDELLES are now being produced and shipped by Swarovski® in Austria. These are very unique and we have had an ongoing order for these if they were produced for over a year now.

Availability may by another issue but for now we know they are being produced. The sizes right now are only in the 6mm but the current colors are (in groupings of like colors):

LIGHT AMETHYST
AMETHYST
TANZANITE

LIGHT SAPPHIRE
SAPPHIRE
AQUAMARINE

SIAM
FUCHSIA
ROSE

EMERALD
OLIVINE
PERIDOT

TOPAZ

CRYSTAL
JET

If you are not familiar with the Rhondelles they are a base metal used like a spacer between #5000 rounds or #5301 bicones (or something of the like) and have Swarovski® Crystals around them. There is always some confusion as to where they are produced, but the crystals are Swarovski ®, where the base metals are sometimes made by a third party company.

I will post an update when more information is availble on when these might be in stock.

Happy Beading,
