Rhinestone Basics
Choose based on your material and how you plan to attach the stones:
- Hotfix glass rhinestones have heat-activated adhesive for fabrics that can withstand heat pressing.
- Glue-on flatback rhinestones come in glass and jelly options. Glass offers a classic rhinestone sparkle; jelly stones are lightweight resin available in many colors. Use an adhesive suited to your surface.
- Sew-on rhinestones attach to fabric with stitching.
- Pointed-back rhinestones have a raised back and are typically used in jewelry settings or projects designed to hold that shape.
- SS stands for stone size, a numbering system commonly used for round glass rhinestones. mm means millimeters and describes a stone’s approximate width. Glass rhinestones are commonly labeled by SS size, while jelly rhinestones are commonly labeled in millimeters.
- One gross is 144 stones. A 10-gross pack contains approximately 1,440 stones. Glass rhinestones are typically sold by the gross.
- AB stands for Aurora Borealis. It is an iridescent finish that reflects additional colors over the stone's base color. Because colors and finishes can look different on screens, we recommend checking a sample when an exact match matters.
Follow the garment’s care label and the instructions for the adhesive or transfer used. For best results, turn the garment inside out and wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat, and let it air dry. Do not iron directly over the rhinestones.
