Compare Swarovski Dark Siam & Indian Siam

Frankly, the (Siam and Dark Siam) and (Lt Siam and Indian Siam) are VERY, VERY, VERY close to each other.  It is very hard to tell the difference between them.  Dark Siam could easily be used as an alternative to Siam and Indian Siam could easily be used as an alternative to Lt Siam.

NEW BRANDING: SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS

Effective June 1, 2010, Swarovski® has annoucned that they will be going through a “branding optimization”.  As such, “CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements” will now become “SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS”.  This branding optimization will better reflect Swarovski® components as the premium brand for loose crystals in the marketplace with a stronger emphasis on the Swarovski® brand.

Now, we know what you are thinking….what a pain in the butt to have to change all the verbage on your marketing materials or website.  And we agree.  But, we also think this is absolutly the right move for Swarovski® to make.  “SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS” is a much easier and simpler way to convey the high quality products they make.  We always thought ”CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements” was a bit of a mouthfull! 

So, here is what the new brand logo looks like:

Swarovski has announced that on Monday, May 24, 2010, the currency surcharge for all products will be reduced to 16%.

Due to the sustained strength of the US Dollar versus the Euro over the past 2 weeks, Swarovski is able to reduce the currency surcharge from 22% to 16% effective Monday May 24, 2010.

It continues to be Swarovski’s goal to offer price stability to its’ customers.  While they are trying to avoid erratic jumps, they will continue to monitor the developments very closely and inform us of any possible further adjustments in the coming months.

Har-Man will send out email notifications with any updates we receive from Swarovski on future currency surcharge adjustments.

We believe that this 6% currency reduction gives us all a great opportunity to take advantage of the current strength of the US Dollar.

 We thank you for your continued business and loyalty to Har-Man Importing!

For every new launch Swarovski produces a limited number (approx 200 for the whole world) of books exemplifiying the trends.  Har-Man Importing is honored and grateful that we are one of the wholesalers who receives these books. 

These books are LITERALLY works of art!  They contain hand-made designs using CRYSTALLIZED™- Swarovski Elements.  Each page is like a couture garmet that you just want to wear.   Swarovski calls these books merely a “Trend Collection”.  I call them “COUTURE TREND BOOKS”! 

When designers come up to our showroom they swoon over each individual page.  We know that everyone can’t be in NY an visit our showroom, so we have decided to bring the book to you.  While these photos of the book pale in comparison to seeing it first hand, it will give you a glimpse into the art and beauty of the work they do.   

The trends for this collection are based from trend forcasting agencies and Swarovski.  The 2 new colors for these trends are: fern green and provence lavender. 

Look through the book below to view the COUTURE TREND BOOK for the CRYSTALLIZED™-Swarovski Trend Collection Spring/Summer 2011!  If you would like to view the book in person, please schedule an appointment at our New York City Showroom  (Call the office at 631-756-9800 to schedule a time).

  

 Well, we are so glad you asked……Swarovski Elements Fusion Concepts are a new interpretation of crystal with other types of materials.  Theses new products are designed to be integrated fully with the rest of the Swarovski Elements crystal line. 

Currently, there are two innovations within this collection: Mosaics and Ceramics.   

Swarovski Elements Mosaics

Swarovski Elements Mosaics

Swarovski Elements Mosaics

 In September 2009, Swarovski Elements launched their new line of “Fusion Concepts” with the development of “Mosaics”.  Mosaic beads, pendants and stones are made from crystal and each piece has unique characteristics.  No two pieces are exactly the same.  They are available in a limited range of styles and only come in 5 unique colors:  Moasic White Opal, Mosaic Pacific Opal, Mosaic Purple Opaque, Mosaic Sand Opal and Mosaic Amber Opal.  

Swarovski Elements Mosaics - Color Options

Swarovski Elements Mosaics - Color Options

 Mosaic colors are available in the following styles and sizes, and are denoted by a “/A” after the style #s: 

  • # 4470 (e.g #4470/A): 18mm – Cushion Cut Fancy Stone
  • #4610 (e.g. #4610/A):  20×15 – Octagon Fancy Stone

Swarovski Elements Ceramics

Swarovski Elements Ceramics

Swarovski Elements Ceramics

In February 2010, Swarovski launched a new addition to their Fusion Concept Line…..the “Ceramics Collection”.  The ceramic collection brings together a very ancient material in a very modern way.  The first thing you should know about these “ceramics” made by Swarovski Elements is that that they are not made of crystal.  The ceramics are very hard and scratch resistant.  The luster of individual facets  shows subtle, sophisticated reflections.  Just like the “Mosaics”, each Ceramic bead or stone has individual characteristics.  They are available in a limited range of styles and only come in 4 unique colors:  Marbled Ivory, Marbled Yellow, Marbled Blue, and Marbled Black. 

Swarovski Elements Ceramics - Color Options

Ceramics colors are available in the following styles and sizes, and are denoted by a “/B” after the style #s:  

  • # 2520 (e.g #2520/B): 14×10, 20×14 - Cosmic Flatback Stone
  • # 3265 (e.g #3265/B): 20×16, 26×21 - Cosmic Sew-On Stone
