Why should I choose to purchase from It's Crystalicious®?
Nicole has 18 years experience crystal strassing and embellishing items for customers all around the world.
She was the first person to bring this type of product and service to Australia, and is also the only business in Australia with an Ingredient Branding Partnership with Preciosa® crystals, so you know you are purchasing the highest quality products from her.
How do I place an Order?
Orders can be placed via our website, Email, Custom Order, Whatsapp or by phone.
Why don't you use SWAROVSKI® Crystals anymore?
The reason why It's Crystalicious® and nearly every other brand around the world doesn't use SWAROVSKI® Crystals anymore is because SWAROVSKI® closed all it's Branding Partner and Wholesale accounts in Australia at the end of October 2020. Unfortunately we were given no warning of this happening and it was quite a shock, as I'd been an Official Branding Partner for more than 10 years.
I had been able to get SWAROVSKI® stock up until the beginning of 2021 from Overseas Wholesalers, as they still have access to limited stock and colours, but it was getting too hard to get the colours I require for your orders. It was time to make the change to a New crystal company so I don't have to disappoint you when I couldn't get the crystal colour from SWAROVSKI®.
We are now an Ingredient Branding Partner of Preciosa® crystals and I'm so happy I was able to make the change to this company as they now provide the highest quality crystals on the market.
Why do I only use Preciosa® Crystals instead of cheaper rhinestones?
We have a contract with Preciosa® crystals to guarantee the use of only their crystals. Our Preciosa® Crystals come from directly from Prague or other partnered wholesalers, and are made from natural bohemian sand uniquely rich in silicon-oxide, making them the finest lead free crystal on the market. They are cut with such precision for maximum sparkle. The sparkle comes from the light bouncing off the internal surfaces of the crystal. Cheaper rhinestones don’t sparkle no where as much as Preciosa® crystals.

My item was strassed by someone else, can you repair their work?
