Does anyone know where I can buy real but cheap Swarovski crystals (online or offline)?

Costco

Thanks!

Are they real? How much is it there? I need 250+ or certain colors.

oh sorry, I thought you meant the crystal figurines, >.< cause i think they only sell the collectable figurines there which are around $20-$60 cheaper than bying from a store like Cyrstique

It's okay

duty free!

Do you know how much they are there? I'm heading to the states next week so maybe I'll check it out.

What about local stores?

i've only seen ppl selling them at the nightmarket but not sure about the pricing.
try the craft shops in granville island, i use to know this girl who's really into jewlry making and she bought all the crystals from there... but it might not be cheap..

i think last resort you can ebay

the duty free doesn't sell swaroski crystals to make jewellery.

I know there is this place called "bead world" near RC which sells lots of crystals, but i am not sure if they are real swaroski crystals. But you might want to check it out.

Also becareful when you buy them, they might show you real swaroski crystals but give you fake ones once you buy it. (ie. crystal mall, parker place, etc)

Thanks everyone... yep I don't think I'm going to go to any Chinese places just in case I get fake ones. =S

You can check

Actually I know a friend's aunt who is a swarovski rep and has access to the warehouse. My friend bought 100 crystals from her for $1 each. If you want I might be able to get her contact info for you.
