Swarovski/Preciosa 6mm Sterling Silver Plated Birthstone Channel Connectors or Links
***
PLEASE NOTE: As Swarovski has discontinued the 6mm channel stones, our huge stock of these is finally dwindling down.
Fortunately, SWAROVSKI had let us know about the discontinuance ahead of time and that gave us ample time to find a suitable replacement. We decided to go with the PRECIOSA's maxima channel stones as the replacement, Maxima is Preciosa?s highest quality crystal product line. These are very similar in look and feel to those from Swarovski. Preciosa Maxima channel stones are lead, Cadmium and Nickel compliant as well. Please be aware that Preciosa has been making crystals lot longer than Swarovski has. Preciosa is based in Crystal Valley, Czech Republic.
It is worth mentioning that the plating and the bezel are the same as the ones on Swarovski. Plating has been done for us in the U.S. according to our quality standards for the last 8 years.
This 6mm stone based channel links (also known as connectors) are the most popular size. The ones based on Swarovski stones have been known to you as CLK6S series. We are calling the Preciosa stone based replacement as ELK6S series. E stands for European. For those who are not familiar with Preciosa brand, please know that Preciosa is the oldest manufacturer of crystals in Europe with its root from Crystal Valley in Czech Republic.
We sell these in all birthstone colors. Please note that this 6mm stone is not available in light siam or ruby color. So the siam color stone is used for both January and July birthstone months.
We sell these in a variety of ways. Most popular way to buy these is in birthstone sets. In a birthstone set one gets the same number of connectors for each month. So in a set of 60, one will get 5 birthstone colors for each month. Set of 60 is a great way to start with these. Once you start using them you can buy them in a larger size set which are more economical or by individual birthstone month color.
You can also get volume discount when you purchase these per birth month
These are ideal for birthstone link bracelets, necklaces. Can also be connected to earwires on one end and a charm or perhaps feather on the other end. These are just many possibilities, awaken your imagination!
*** You may also purchase these from our no minimum purchase required website, Beadprism.com. Please note that the pricing there may be different. *** |
