Hi, this is Kat with beadaholique.com where should x Rivoli Xand fancy stones now if you're familiar with Swarovski crystal they pride themselves in their brilliance and they've really outdone themselves with this lacquer collection so basically I want to dive in and kind of show you on Misha tongs here now these are pointed back sheet on and I'm going to kind of pickle enough to show you how they're sort of created so you can see that there's that sort of Fleck on the top and you get those really beautiful facets but when I flip it over you'll see that the coating on the bottom is lacquer so that when you're looking at it actually from the side what you're seeing there is crystal and you're seeing that lacquer color come through the bottom so just to kind of give you a little bit of an idea I'm going to set that down side by side so you can sort of see that you have that brilliance and those facets on the top there and on the bottom you're getting that lacquer coating so we have several different colors and this is just a selection do check out the website beadaholique.com to get all of the full information on these guys and they have some beautiful colors we have some beautiful brilliant reds and blues greens corals we have two different sizes here that I've sort of laid out and I put the green ones sort of next to each other so that you can really get a feel for how different the sizes we have a thirty nine stone size and a twenty nine stone size so you're getting a nice little variation there so if you wanted to which i think could actually be quite beautiful is to get a couple of the different colors and a couple different sizes in the same color and then sort of mix and match them together and put them into your design so again we have stone size 29 and 39 and here are just several of the colors but I want to move along here to the Rivoli and I've done the same thing here and let me pick up a different color so this is that mint green color so this is the back where you see that nice beautiful lacquer coating and on the front you're getting those beautiful facets and they kind of come down almost like a pyramid and I hope you can kind of see that in this video here you'll definitely be able to see it from the photograph on the website but just to kind of show you I made a little earring here and these are tierracast findings and basically it's very simple you just add a little dab of e6000 you can glue it right into the findings so you get that beautiful kind of finished jewelry look so be sure to check them out and again we do have two sizes of these we have twelve millimeter and we have 14 and here side-by-side are the blue we have this beautiful light blue so you can just kind of see the size difference so you have the 12 and again the 14 and again this is just a selection of some of the colors that we have be sure to check out the website for more and then I just want to finish up here by talking about these fancy stones now we have the pear shapes here and these are 18 by 13 millimeters and the reason I kind of wanted to talk about this last is because I want to just go over a little bit of how to mix and match some of these colors because they really are quite unique and you'll notice that in for example a ring that I did here I've used crystal clay and then the should Tom's that are around the lacquer ones are just crystal so I really wanted to keep it a nice cool color palette but I used two different colors and I just want to talk very briefly about how you can kind of fit them together now this was another project created for this line and again I wouldn't normally think about putting the cream together with the pink in the gray but when you really see it come together it's just so beautiful and it's really stunning so have a lot of fun with some of the colors here and I'm just going to pull out some of my favorites and show you how you can kind of make just some really unique different combinations so for example you know I always kind of see the red and the green for Christmas you know but what you could do is you could use the darker read that we have here and bring it together with the cream to do a little bit more of like a vintage Christmas style another thing and I did this in that earring there is I kind of pulled the blue and the red together to create a little sort of vintage Americana style but what's really kind of fun is I love these five in particular this is just what I'm drawn to and I think you could make something that is really beautiful and fun and summery and just really sparkling and you could just kind of put them together and create something that's very beachy or even if you wanted to kind of add in grey or when you add in that cream it makes it more of a little bit of a sandy color so really have so much fun mixing and matching these lacquer colors and just choose your favorite ritand fancy stones and Rivoli is to really explore the full length of this design and this beautiful collection I hope you enjoyed this video you can find all of these tutorials and many more videos especially featuring Swarovski crystal at
