FAQ
How do I choose the right rhinestones?
If you want excellent sparkle at great value, choose Core Rhinestones.
If you want maximum brilliance and a premium finish, choose Elite Rhinestones.
Many designers and crafters use a combination of both to balance impact and cost while still achieving a sparkling result.
Do you offer samples?
Yes! If you unsure what colour/s you would like to purchase, we can send up to 5 rhinestones colour samples. You’ll only need to cover the cost of postage.
Please email us for this option.
Do colours vary slightly?
Due to lighting, screens and production batches, slight colour variation can occur. However, we carefully source our rhinestones to ensure consistent, vibrant colour and clarity.
What do rhinestone sizes mean?
Rhinestones are measured using the “SS” (Stone Size) scale. Below are the approximate millimetre conversions for our rhinestones:
- SS12: 3–3.2mm
- SS16: 3.8–4mm
- SS20: 4.6–4.8mm
- SS30: 6.4–6.6mm
Please note that slight variations in sizing may occur from our manufacturer.
How should rhinestones be applied for best results?
For best results:
- Use a high quality rhinestone adhesive (like our amazing e6000 glue)
- Apply glue sparingly to avoid overflow.
- Use a gem pick up tool for precise placement.
- Allow full drying time before wearing or washing.
