Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Aqua Bohemica?
Aqua Bohemica is a light, bright turquoise with clear, fresh-water clarity. It reads as a vivid aqua under both stage and natural lighting, sitting between a true aqua and a light teal. It is a Preciosa-specific color name inspired by the crystal-clear waters of the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.
What is 10ss in millimeters?
10ss rhinestones measure approximately 2.7mm – 2.9mm. They are a good choice for outlines, accent rows, and nail art where you need slightly more presence than the smallest extra-small sizes without committing to a mid-sized coverage stone.
What is the difference between Aqua Bohemica and Aquamarine?
Aqua Bohemica is a lighter, brighter turquoise with a fresh, clear quality. Aquamarine tends to read as a softer, more muted blue-green. Side by side, Aqua Bohemica is the more vivid and distinctly turquoise of the two.
