Bespoke Embellishment, Transfers and Repairs
Here at Crystal Parade, we have over 20 years of experience in crystal embellishment and a talented in-house team who can bling anything from clothing and shoes, including Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, to furniture and household objects - recently we crystallized deer antlers! If necessary, we can call upon a hub of external partners who work closely with us on larger projects, no job is too big or too small. We also offer a repair service where we can match and replace missing crystals to make your item as good as new again.
Some of our high profile projects include crystallization of the London Palladium stage curtains for the production of Cinderella in 2016, taking 400 hours and 60,000 Preciosa crystals. Four years running we have fully crystallized the cricket ball trophies for the International Cricket Council annual awards and in November 2021 the team embellished 40 Jéroboam sized champagne bottles for Moët & Chandon. We can work to deadlines too, we were given 4 hours to fully crystallize the famous Febreze bottle for Mrs Hinch.
We can crystallize your dance costumes, wedding and bridesmaid dresses, shoes, clothing, phone cases, bespoke wedding stationery, company logos, champagne flutes, pet accessories and salon equipment such as gel lamps and nail art tools. If you are looking for a more unusual item to be embellished, we have plenty of experience in that too, having previously crystallized a full-sized mannequin, a deer skull, an electric guitar, marmite jars and gin bottles, garden gnomes and even a wheelbarrow!
What a fantastic Jubilee bank holiday weekend we celebrated in June and we're so proud to say that Crystal Parade played a small part in dazzling the crowd outside Buckingham Palace. In collaboration with Luke Jefferson Day, top fashion stylist and editor of GQ Style, we supplied the Zodiac crystals used to embellish the stunning Union Jack outfit worn by Sam Ryder on the Saturday night. Thousands of Zodiac crystals in many shades of blue including Aquamarine AB, Montana, Capri Blue, Peacock Blue and Sapphire adorned Sam’s outfit, along with Light and Dark Siam to create the flag, and Clear and Mine Silver rhinestones to fully crystallize the collar and cuffs. Luke chose to apply crystals of varying sizes to achieve what is known in the industry as the ‘Rockery Effect’. This allows the light to hit the stones at multiple angles which is then reflected in every direction to create more sparkle on stage.
Our team offers hand crystallising and a transfer application service. Crystal transfers quickly and cleanly embellish multiple items, perfect for company and team logos, fashion, equestrian wear, theatrical costumes, and even greeting card designs. We assist with transfer design, application methods, fabric testing, and bulk production. Notable projects include the Team GB Gymnastics team logo, Mamma Mia Party costumes, and designs for renowned fashion designers. If you aim to decorate a large fabric area like a dance dress with rhinestones, a bespoke transfer might be more efficient and economical than hand stoning. We provide examples of bulk crystal application using transfers.
No request is too big or too small for Crystal Parade and our repair service is ideal if you have a piece of jewellery with missing crystals, or a dance costume that needs a touch of added sparkle.
