Hi all, I am trying to find those swarovski rhinestone/ crystal beads which are used to decorate hand phones and accessories. May I know where can I find them in Singapore and how much do they cost? Also, what type of glue should i use? i heard that there’s different type of glues for different materials. (like glue for metal and plastic are different) Is true? Thank you.

There being different types of strass beads, the method used to glue them varies. The material on which they are glued also matters.
Recommendations from Swarovski ® concerning these beads are that you use an iron at 338F, lightly pressing from the underside of the fabric.

Linda asks…

How can I be a Swarovski crystal bead distributor?

I would like to sell swarovski beads, rondelles and other items from Swarovski necessary for making necklaces and bracelets. Any idea as to how I can be a distributor with buying at wholesale prices?

BeadGal answers:

Have you tried www.firemountaingems.com

Also, most places will require your resale tax id number before giving you a wholesale price list.

Laura asks…

Where can I find CHEAP swarovski crystal beads and hotfix rhinestones?

I know I can find them cheaper than ebay. The ebay people buy them somewhere at a better price… thanks for letting me know.

BeadGal answers:

Try best buy… They have the kind that you use to decorate your cell phone, and that is the cheapest place I have been able to find them… Target has them for like, $9.00, but best buys are the same quality, at about $4.00
