If you are serious about bulk, please consider Swarovski factory packages at Rings & Things. 10 gross packs of 3 and 4mm, 2.5 gross packs of 6mm, etc in original Swarovski packages at Factory Pack Pricing at Rings & Things. This is the best pricing we can offer because there is no labor, counting and repackaging costs. Smaller quantity packaging is more expensive but we have a wide selection of sizes and colors in stock. See Swarovski® crystal for full listings.
