Candie Cooper stopped by to assist us in demonstrating how easy it is to mix epoxy glue and add Swarovski Crystal Fancy Stones to NEW Swarovski® settings and findings to make sparkling statement jewelry. Watch the video tutorial today!
Statement jewelry is about making your presence known. So why not create your own earrings or necklace with Swarovski crystal fancy stones? In minutes, you can create sparkling jewelry!
Swarovski Crystal and Settings
What you will need to create your pendant or dangle crystals are the following:
- Swarovski Crystal Stone & Rivolis
- Swarovski Settings & Findings
- Swarovski® Two-Part Epoxy CG 500 (A+B) – Style 9030
- or Devcon Clear Epoxy – 5 Minute or 30 Minute
When determining the right crystal stone for the right setting, read the description to determine the correct crystal style #. Take the style # and put that into the search bar to find crystals that will fit that setting.
Another key component to creating these crystal dangles is the two-part epoxy. CG 500 (A+B) is a high-performance gluing system for both foiled and unfoiled Swarovski crystals, exclusively distributed by Swarovski for professional use within the jewelry industry. CG 500 (A+B) absorbs impacts and withstands distortion. In addition, maximum elasticity protects the crystal foiling.
Make sure to grab some Resin Cups and Sticks to mix your epoxy!

I really appreciate having all the catalogue numbers for the supplies. I just don’t have the patience or the time to poke around the website to find what I need. I’m also insured of getting the pieces that go together in size. Photography and advertising is often misleading if you don’t immediately recognize the difference between sizes I.e. 5mm vs 8mm. I have a lot of supplies I can’t use because I unknowingly ordered an incorrect size.
That’s part of the fun – the learning curve.
