Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Amethyst in rhinestones?

Amethyst is a deep, rich purple with cool violet undertones. It reads as a classic jewel-toned purple under stage and natural lighting, darker and more saturated than Light Amethyst and distinctly warmer and more purple than Tanzanite's blue-violet. It is one of the most widely used purple shades in dance, bridal, and pageant designs.

What are 30ss rhinestones best for?

30ss rhinestones measure approximately 6.3mm – 6.5mm and are one of the larger flatback sizes. They are best for bold statement accents, costume borders, scattered large stones, and designs that need to read clearly from a distance under stage lights. A 2 gross pack (288 pieces) covers a generous accent area on a full costume.

What is the difference between Amethyst and Light Amethyst?

Amethyst is a rich, deeply saturated purple with strong jewel-toned presence. Light Amethyst is a softer, more pastel lavender that reads as delicate and ethereal. Side by side, Amethyst is bold and dramatic while Light Amethyst is subtle and romantic.
