💎 Our Crystals
Are your crystals genuine Preciosa® and SWAROVSKI®?
Absolutely - every crystal is 100% authentic. Our Preciosa® crystals are sourced directly from their head office, guaranteeing the highest standard of clarity, cut, and brilliance. Our SWAROVSKI® crystals were purchased directly from the Sydney office prior to the brand discontinuing supply to partners in October 2020 - so what you’re getting is the real thing, not a replica or substitute.
What are Kaos Crystals?
Kaos Crystals are our own range of premium glass flatback rhinestones, available in a wide selection of colours and sizes. They offer exceptional sparkle at an accessible price point, making them a brilliant choice for larger projects, DIY embellishment, nail art, and crafting - without compromising on finish or visual impact.
What crystal types and application methods do you stock?
We carry a comprehensive range to suit every project and technique:
∙ Preciosa® - Glue-On and Hot Fix flatbacks, plus Wholesale (NHF and HF)
∙ SWAROVSKI® - Glue-On, Hot Fix, and Sew-On styles
∙ Kaos Crystals - premium glass flatbacks, Hot Fix and Sew-On styles, available to pre-order

✨ Crystal Sneakers
How long does it take for custom sneakers to be made?
Every pair is made entirely by hand, to order. Please allow 1-4 weeks for production, plus your shipping time. You’ll be kept informed throughout the process - because we know the wait is the hardest part.
What sizes do the sneakers come in?
Our crystal sneakers are available in a range of sizes. Please refer to our Size Chart page before ordering to ensure the best fit - sizing can vary slightly depending on the silhouette.
How do I care for my crystal sneakers or embellished item?
Treat them like the handcrafted pieces they are. Avoid submersion in water and keep them away from harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For any surface marks, gently spot clean with a soft, dry cloth. Store them somewhere they won’t be crushed or rattled - a dust bag or box is ideal. With the right care, your crystals will continue to sparkle.
🎨 Custom & Bespoke Orders
Can I send you my own item to be embellished?
Yes, we love a great brief. We offer custom embellishment services where you send us your piece - sneakers, a jacket, a bag, an accessory - and we bring your vision to life, crystal by crystal. Every custom project is handled with the same precision and care as our ready-to-order pieces. Head to the Get a Quote page to start the conversation.
I have a specific vision in mind. Can you create something completely custom?
That’s exactly what we’re here for. If you have a design idea, a colour palette, or a specific piece you’d like embellished, we’d love to hear about it. Fill out the Get a Quote form and we’ll work with you to bring it to life.
🏢 Corporate & Events
Do you offer corporate gifting or event packages?
We do. Crystal Kaos offers bespoke embellishment packages designed for businesses, event planners, and brand activations. Whether you’re looking for staff rewards, product launch keepsakes, wedding favours, or charity auction pieces - we can tailor a package to your brief, quantities, and colour palette. Visit the Corporate Gifting page or fill out the Get a Quote form to enquire.
📦 Orders, Shipping & Payment
Do you ship internationally?
Yes - we ship worldwide, with tracking included. Shipping rates and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location. All orders are dispatched from Sydney, Australia.
