Amethyst is a deep, rich purple with cool violet undertones. It reads as a classic jewel-toned purple under stage and natural lighting, making it a popular choice for dance costumes, skating dresses, pageant pieces, and bridal designs.
What is 10ss in millimeters?
10ss rhinestones measure approximately 2.7mm – 2.9mm. They sit between the extra-small 7ss and the small 12ss, making them a good choice for outlines, accent rows, and nail art where you need slightly more presence than the smallest stones.
What is the difference between MAXIMA and Viva12 rhinestones?
