I didn't see this topic coming up yet:
End of June 2021 Swarovski will end the sales of beading products for non-professionals worldwide.
This means that beadshops worldwide can no longer order products such as loose beads, pearls and other crystal elements for our hobbies.
Why? Overall costs are too high for Swarovski to keep up all the colors and shapes available in low quantities worldwide.
Sales of other Swarovski products such as pens or watches with crystals will normally continue.
So when you are a regular user of Swarovski beads: buy-buy-buy now if you can!
Or when you need to repair that one heirloom still waiting for you to have time for it.... buy now what you need for your repair.
Yesterday I heard from an import firm in The Netherlands that already not everything is available anymore in Europe.
It is expected that after 1st July people will try to sell their personal stock for much higher prices on selling platforms.
But luckily there is a beautiful other option for having to let go of Swarovski elements: Preciosa.
:lol Hey, and wasn't it time anyway to dive into our bead stash and clear some things out and reorganize it all?
Happy beading!

Thank you very much for the information KatharinaV-NL :loveliness: I had no idea. Planning to do some shopping to like you mentioned, get what I need now so I have it for later. Going to miss their gorgeous beads, hopefully something new will take their place in time. Thanks again!
