Preciosa Announces Price Increase (mailchi.mp)

Price Increase Notice We have recently received this communication from Preciosa advising us they will be implementing a 5%  price increase effective June 1, 2022: 
 
Owing to a sudden and extreme rise in costs of basic raw materials, services and energy born from current global events, Preciosa is announcing a general price increase of 5%, effective 1 June 2022.

“This step comes only after careful consideration and has been deemed necessary to maintain the competitiveness of our portfolio and the integrity of our production practices,” says Preciosa Components Sales and Marketing Director, Jan Štiller. “The recent rise in energy costs affects everyone, including our 1,500+ employees to whom Preciosa remains committed to providing adjusted living wages.”

We encourage you to plan ahead and place orders ASAP to guarantee current pricing and availability of your items. Only items ordered prior to June 1st will be at the current prices. 

We have added a HUGE amount of new MAXIMA stones and have many more on the way! We are also happy to bring in any size or color for you, just allow up to 4 weeks for delivery. 
Any special orders should be placed prior to May 1st,2022 to be at current pricing.  If you have any questions, please call our office 260-484-2711 or send an email to Sales@RhinestoneSupply.com. We appreciate your business!

NEW SIZE and QUANTITY DIAGRAM

Have you ever wondered how many stones you need for a project? Our new diagram should help you figure that out!

We created this diagram to show you how many stones you need per square inch and also per linear inch! Have a neckline that’s 25 inches long? Want to use 20ss rhinestones? Calculate 5 stones per inch x 25 inches = 125 rhinestones needed! Be sure to print this for handy reference!

Swarovski NEWS & Ordering INFO

Recently Swarovski decided to remove their crystals from the general public and DIY market. What remaining inventory we have will continue to be for sale but cannot guarantee how long it will last. We encourage you to order enough or extra for your project as we cannot re-order.

While our relationship with Swarovski has ended, we are still here to offer you great alternative products! We are adding more Preciosa MAXIMA & VIVA12 rhinestones weekly and are happy to bring in a certain size or color for you. Just email or call us!

In addition, our Silver Lining Rhinestones are being phased out and will be replaced with the Preciosa Viva12 stones. If we do not have enough of the SL stones we will send you the Viva12 stones without notice. If the color isn’t exactly the same, we will contact you before shipping. Most colors are the same but some are slightly different. 

We will not be signing any legal agreement with Swarovski. We are bringing in the Preciosa MAXIMA stones and are accepting request for sizes and colors – just email or call us!

ARCHIVE: SWAROVSKI announced lots of changes ahead, most notably that they will be removing the ability of the general public to purchase their products. Unless you are a high end designer most likely you will not be able to purchase. We will be able to sell any inventory we have accumulated even after this takes place (9/30/2021) but cannot guarantee how long it will last. We are also working on other product lines to replace Swarovski. Sadly, this includes our Silver Lining Rhinestones. 

They have also discontinued a number of products already and the lists below should be used as reference only. NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY ITEM WILL BE AVAILABLE!

We encourage you to review the listings below that reflect the status of any items that are either going to be discontinued entirely or available with special production only. We strongly suggest if you use any of these color you purchase ASAP. This list is extensive and again, we strongly suggest ordering ASAP. For large orders please Email: Sales@RhinestoneSupply.com www.RhinestoneSupply.com

We will not be taking part in the new application process and legal contracts that Swarovski will require to use their products. If you are a high end designer that is wanting to apply with Swarovski, feel free to contact us and we will forward your info to the correct person.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) UPDATE

During this unprecedented time in American history…

We would like to take this time to ask for patience and understanding during this difficult, scary and unprecedented time. As an Authorized Swarovski Reseller our goods come from Austria. Swarovski has already experienced delays in goods being shipped from Austria to us due to the significant reduction in aircraft flying. This means items on backorder are being delayed, new stock is being delayed, special productions are being delayed…and we are asking for your patience.

At this time we are still shipping your orders within 24 hours. This could change in a matter of hours or days as there is so much uncertainly with this situation.

We truly appreciate your business and want to keep your world as sparkly as possible! 
THANK YOU!
