You never know what to expect at a Swarovski launch... the only guarantees are colour, sparkle & inspiration!

I went to their Spring/ Summer 2021 launch today and it was good to see the new products in person again. Excitingly there are some lovely new large stones (and new colours of old favourites) and you can see all the information here.

It was also good to see some of their #2020 stones in their museum section as I absolutely love these after first finding them back in 2014 in the back room of a bead wholesaler on my travels. I had no idea what I would use them for but knew I needed them and would figure out a way to let them shine.

There were many experiments over the years but back in 2018 I knew they were perfect for the centres of my Quatre Flowers (you can use 14mm Rivolis instead for this pattern if you can't get hold of these)

If you bought a Quatre Flowers crystal set from me last year (now sold-out but they were here) then you have some of these spectacular Swarovski crystals that even they deem worthy of display!
