Swarovski Flatback Crystals

About

Swarovski flatback crystals (also called rhinestones) are precision-cut stones manufactured in Austria, available in hotfix, non hotfix and sew-on versions for professional embellishment across fashion, bridal, dancewear, nail art and accessories. Produced using Swarovski's proprietary X-Cut technology, every stone delivers intense brilliance, uniform faceting and consistent colour accuracy across both bespoke and high-volume production. Bluestreak Crystals stocks the complete range, including SS3 to SS48, all three cut designs, and over 150 colours, effects and finishes, with same or next working day dispatch on the majority of orders. Bluestreak Crystals: Authorised Swarovski Distribution Partner Bluestreak Crystals is an official Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner , one of a very small number of approved suppliers worldwide permitted to sell the complete genuine Swarovski range. Every stone is directly sourced from Swarovski Wattens, Austria, and quality-assured. Alongside the Swarovski range, we also stock two further premium crystal brands: Serinity crystals , our own Austrian-made brand, and Preciosa crystals , premium Czech-cut crystals with excellent brilliance across the full range. What Is the Difference Between Hotfix, Non Hotfix and Sew-On Crystals? Swarovski flatback rhinestones are available in three application types, each suited to different materials and techniques: Hotfix flatbacks — pre-coated with a heat-activated adhesive. Apply using a hotfix applicator wand, heat press or iron (steam setting off). The standard choice for fabrics, garments, dancewear, costumes and bridal embellishment. Also sold as iron-on crystals. Non hotfix flatbacks — no pre-applied adhesive; bond using a crystal adhesive. Compatible with glass, metal, plastic, leather and fabric — the preferred choice for accessories, nail art and mixed-media work. Sew-on stones — pre-drilled with holes for hand-sewing or machine-stitching directly onto garments and textiles. Recomm
