2205 Flame Flatback Rhinestone - Symbolizes fire, echoing a real candle flame. The Fire Opal (shown below) is a fantastic addition to any bold design! The pear shaped design exudes passion and adds a touch a glamour to a blank canvas.
2034 Concise Flatback Rhinestone – A much a sleeker and simpler addition to the rhinestone family. This style has a classic Rivoili cut but with a flatter and larger table size (increased 40%) along with a reduced weight – perfect for designs that need to be lightweight.
2078/H Framed Flatback Rhinestone - A gorgeous 2 for 1 style incorporating the sparkle of Swarovski crystal with the intensity of a metal frame around the stone. Offered in silver, gunmetal, and gold metal rings. This rhinestone is ONLY offered in a hot fix version.
2798 Contour Flatback Rhinestone - Reflects the raw, natural, and unspoiled beauty of the planet, offering a very organic shape. Its asymmetrical facets and table top show us that this style is unlike most classics but allows us to create unique and strong design patterns.
New Beads
There are 2 new beads offerings within Spring/Summer Innovations 2017. In alignment with the Nature theme, both beads are unique in shape, showcasing natures’ unusual but exceptional creatures. See all of the Swarovski Beads that HarMan has to offer.
5728 Scarab Bead - With its attention-grabbing and life-like shape, this interesting crystal cut bead is inspired by the scarab beetle and Ancient Egyptian culture. Fun Fact: The Egyptians have forever characterized the scarab beetle as a symbol of luck! It is especially an unconventional element when featured in last season’s Crystal Scarabaeus Green (as shown here).
5751 Panther Bead - Taking crystal cutting to new heights, the artistically designed and cut Panther Bead depicts the head of this feline predator, which is dramatically life-like! String this powerful bead on your jewelry designs for a high-impact look.
