Buying Guide

Choose the right size (SS number)

Match rhinestone size to fabric scale—SS30 (6.3–6.5mm) reads bold on garments while SS16–SS20 (3.8–4.8mm) work better for detailed patterns

Prefer flatback rhinestones for sewing or glue

Flatback stones sit flush on fabric and are easier to sew or bond with textile adhesives compared with pointed-back styles

Buy bulk counts for large projects

Bulk packs (thousands of pieces) lower per-stone cost and ensure color/size consistency across a garment or multiple items

Consider material and sparkle

Glass crystal flatbacks provide brighter reflectivity than plastic alternatives—choose based on desired shine and durability on textiles

Check colorfastness and finish

Select stones with consistent color coatings (e.g., royal blue, white, red) to avoid fading or uneven appearance after cleaning or wear
