Consistency You Can Count On

For designers, artists, and manufacturers who demand a flawless and uniform aesthetic, the consistency of every single component is non-negotiable. For the rhinestones selected for a project, consistency extends far beyond the most visable differentiators of sparkle, size and color; it encompasses all the raw material standards and quality control practices of the manufacturer. European Crystals offer unparalleled reliability across a multitude of critical attributes, ensuring your creations achieve a level of professional polish that stands out. The manufacturer, Preciosa, located in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic has continued with an unwavering commitment to quality, evident in their stringent control measures at their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, which guarantees that each crystal meets the highest standards.

Two of the key elements contributing to this consistency is the shape and size of the crystal. Whether you're working with rounds, ovals, squares, or more specialized cuts, European Crystals maintain precise and uniform shape and size across every piece.  This reliability ensures that your patterns and designs flow seamlessly without any jarring inconsistencies. Imagine trying to achieve a uniform pave crystal design using a honeycomb or scatter pattern when size and shape of the rhinestones is not consistent.  Your frustration level and the beauty of your finished piece will be affected.

Now,the arrangement and precision of the facets, a.k.a. cut. Preciosa's manufacturing advantage is their advanced cutting technology that ensures that every facet is expertly aligned to maximize light refraction and create that signature European sparkle. This precise cutting is consistently replicated across all crystals within a specific line, guaranteeing a uniform brilliance throughout your work. Another aspect of cut is the crystal's table height, the height from the bottom to top of the crystal, is also meticulously controlled. The absence of a uniform table height would result in unevenness. European crystals ensure a professional, flush finish.

Furthermore, the quality of the crystal raw glass material itself is paramount for clarity. European Crystals boast exceptional clarity, meaning the glass is free from inclusions or imperfections that could impede light transmission and diminish sparkle. This consistent clarity ensures that the light interacts with the precisely cut facets to their full potential.

The integrity of the foil backing is another critical factor. Preciosa's Dura-Foiling is renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. This consistent, high-quality foiling ensures optimal light reflection through the crystal for the duration of its use, preventing dullness or detachment.

Finally, for hotfix applications, the quality of the hotfix glue are essential for secure and lasting adhesion. Preciosa utilizes a premium-grade hotfix glue that is consistently applied, ensuring reliable bonding to a variety of materials when properly applied. 

This meticulous attention to detail across size, shape, cut, clarity, table height, Dura-Foiling, and hotfix glue guarantees that you can confidently incorporate MAXIMA Crystals by Preciosa and LUX European Crystal into your projects. You can trust that each crystal will align perfectly, contributing to a cohesive and high-quality look, whether you're working on intricate designs or large-scale manufacturing runs. Moreover, purchasing through authorized partners like Rhinestones Unlimited provides an added layer of assurance.
