Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Brand Control Agreement (BCA) and what are the conditions?
The Brand Control Agreement will allow approved customers to continue purchasing Swarovski crystals from authorized partners. However, this does not entitle them to use the Swarovski brand in any way when selling finished products embellished with Swarovski Crystals. In other words, the Brand Control Agreement can only be granted to companies, manufacturers, and designers who have their own brand, or to nail technicians/nail salons. These entities must understand that mentioning the Swarovski name in their marketing is strictly defined and forbidden.
Who can sign the BCA?
Only legal entities, manufacturers, and designers with their own brand, as well as nail technicians/nail salons, can qualify for the BCA. Private customers and resellers are not eligible for this agreement.
Where can I apply for the BCA?
The application form must be filed through an authorized Swarovski distributor. You can find this form on our website HERE.
How long should I wait for Swarovski's approval after applying for the BCA?
Every application will go through a brief review by us. After that we will forward the details to Swarovski for further review. Swarovski will contact the applicant in person with their decision. This entire process can take up for a few weeks.
I have applied for the BCA, and I am waiting for the final decision. Can I place my orders for Swarovski crystals in the meantime?
No, unfortunately not! Only already approved customers with GSK will be able to place the orders.
I have signed the BCA and got approved by Swarovski. What are the next steps?
You need to contact us with your GSK (Global Sourcing Key) for your continuous purchase of Swarovski crystals. Further instructions will be provided individually via email upon request.
I have signed a BCA and got a GSK, should I place my orders only though the supplier I got the BCA signed?
No! You can place your orders through any authorized supplier. You will need to provide your GSK (Global Sourcing Key) to each supplier.
When will I be able to buy Swarovski crystals from you after providing you my GSK?
It could take 2-3 business days for Swarovski to confirm to us that your GSK is valid. After receiving confirmation from Swarovski we will enable your account to purchase Swarovski products from us, and we will inform you about this by email.
