Crystal Slingback — Silver

Rhinestone embellishment is a narrow category with a wide range of quality. The difference between a slingback that sells at bridal price points and one that sheds stones in the box is the setting method: glued stones fail, claw-set or hot-fix stones with a backed mesh hold. This silver slingback uses a mesh-backed crystal panel on a slim heel, built for evening and bridal lines where the shoe is worn for one season and photographed constantly.

Specification

Crystal slingback, rubber outsole, size run 35#-40#. Silver is the standard colourway; champagne, rose gold and ivory are available against a colour reference. The slingback strap is elasticated at the heel, which accommodates half-size differences better than a buckled strap.

Buying considerations

• MOQ 600 pairs per colour
• Packing: one pair per polybag, 30 pairs per carton; individual gift box recommended for bridal retail
• Lead time 25-35 days after deposit and sample approval
• FOB Xiamen or EXW

Stone grade, density and setting method are the three variables to fix at sampling. Ask for a rub-test report if your market requires it — bridal retailers in the EU increasingly ask for evidence that the embellishment survives normal wear rather than a single evening.

Bridal programs usually order this style alongside the pointed pump in cream, since both share a heel height and a customer. Consolidating them in one container keeps the freight per pair low, which matters on a high-value, low-volume category.
