    Tumbling Swarovski Crystals

    I am currently making a romanov bracelet using Swarovski crystals. Does anyone know if you can tumble this bracelet with the crystals attached?

    Thanks, Donna

    I don't know about this specific weave but I've had no problems tumbling Swarovski crystals.  Today I left some pieces with crystals in the tumbler for over 2 hours while I ran errands.  They looked great and the crystals are no worse for the wear.

    Keep in mind that the AB is a coating and therefore potentially subject to damage if the tumbling is for a very long time.  I'd tumble all the rings before making the piece so that afterwards you'd only need a short tumble to clean it up.

    I have also tumbled NON AB crystals without any problems.

    I've tumbled Swarovski for a short time, and I've tumbled a romanov bracelet with swarovski also.
