E.H. Ashley & Company Newsletter Vol. 4 June 2006

Looking for something fantastic? Swarovski®’s seven New Fancy Shaped pendants formerly offered as part of the lighting collection (8000’s), are now being offered in the jewelry line. Swarovski® has recognized the demand for these beautiful, versatile crystals as jewelry pieces and has developed these Fancy Shaped Pendants using high quality jewelry standards. In addition Swarovski® has created a large range of easy to use sizes with the new beveled edge hole. They have also omitted the Swarovski® laser insignia and established affordable package sizes.

Our new custom coatings, Chili Pepper and Brandy, have created quite a buzz in the bead world. Many suppliers are scrambling to find these new colors that their customers are anxious to use. These distinctive coatings are only available through E.H. Ashley. These warm, fiery tones applied to Swarovski® beads and pendants are perfect for both the summer and fall, with extensions into the holiday season.

Note: These coatings are not applied by Swarovski®.
