FAQs
Whether you’re bedazzling something wearable or for display purposes, rhinestones add a touch of glamour and bring your creative vision to life.

They’re fun to use, forgiving for beginners, and perfect for creative, colorful projects that don’t require spending extra on more luxurious rhinestone materials.
What is a “jelly” rhinestone?
If you’ve ever seen sparkling embellishments on phone cases, acrylic nails, or “diamond paintings”, chances are you’ve seen jelly rhinestones in action. Unlike typical rhinestones, which are made of glass, jelly rhinestones are made of a plastic-like resin. The resin is first melted, then poured into silicone molds to create the signature rhinestone shape. The material and manufacturing process make them lighter and more affordable than glass rhinestones. The resin material also makes it possible to create a solid-colored or glow-in-the-dark rhinestone, while regular glass rhinestones get their color from a mirrored backing. These properties make jelly rhinestones especially useful for nail art, face painting, or decorating apparel that requires flexibility and movement.
Even though they’re the more economical option, don’t assume that you’ll be “cheaping out” by choosing jelly rhinestones. Resin can still be treated with an “Aurora Borealis” coating that provides an iridescent finish. This can make jelly rhinestones just as dazzling as any other material. Alternatively, jelly rhinestones can also be completely matte, which gives off an interesting, hard-candy-like effect.
Before finalizing your rhinestone choice, it’s important to understand the differences in how each material performs under different conditions. Resin is generally softer than glass or crystal. Because of this, jelly rhinestones can be prone to developing visible scratches and losing their color over time. Meanwhile, glass rhinestones are more resistant to scratches but also more prone to chipping after heavy wear. To make sure your next craft goes off without a hitch, think carefully about durability, budget, and the intended purpose of your project before you select your rhinestones.
What bag sizes and densities are offered?
At Planet Rhinestone, jelly rhinestone bags are packaged with thousands of stones per size, depending on availability in the collection. Most of the rhinestones are available in 2mm–6mm sizes. Bags are available in 500-, 1,250-, 2,250-, or 5,000-piece sizes. Note that each bag is packaged by weight, not by individual stone count, so there may be a slight difference in the stone count between bags.
Are these rhinestones glue-on only, or can they be hotfix?
Jelly rhinestones are glue-on only in most cases. Due to the nature of resin, applying heat to the flat back of a jelly rhinestone can cause it to soften or even melt. For best results, it’s recommended to use an adhesive that matches the material where you plan to attach your rhinestones. For example, use fabric glue for attaching jelly rhinestones to clothing or jewelry glue for decorating necklaces and earrings. For projects that require a strong, waterproof hold on a smooth surface, like phone cases or drink tumblers, heavy-duty adhesives like liquid fusion or two-part epoxies work great.
How to Apply Jelly Rhinestones
Use a wax pencil or rhinestone picker, which are specialized tools for picking up and placing small rhinestones. If you don’t have these tools available, a pair of tweezers can work as well. Apply a small amount of adhesive to the back of the rhinestone and give it a few seconds to dry and become tacky before gluing it to your project. For very small stones, use a wooden toothpick to dot the glue onto the rhinestone. If you need an extra layer of protection, consider brushing on a clear sealant after your rhinestones have dried in place.
How to Care for Jelly Rhinestones
Once your project is complete, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your rhinestones looking bright and beautiful. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and direct sunlight, which can lead to color loss. When cleaning, wipe rhinestones with a damp cloth rather than soaking them. Handle all jelly rhinestone items with care to avoid scratching, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Can these be used in larger projects?
Yes, many crafters use multiple small bags for large-scale designs, layering or mixing sizes for visual effect. You can mix and match different bags to create a variety of textures, color combos, and patterns. Because resin rhinestones are lighter and more affordable than glass rhinestones, they can be a smart choice for decorating larger surfaces, allowing you to cover more area without spending as much on individual stones.
Are there wholesale options for these small jelly bags?
Yes, Planet Rhinestone offers wholesale sizing or bulk options for crafters and businesses that need larger quantities. Wholesale members receive a discount on all orders above $300 and special wholesale-only promotions that aren’t available to retail customers.
