What is Shimmer AB?

Shimmer AB is a lighter, more ethereal version of the Aurora Borealis coating that subtly enhances the base color with a soft, shifting glow. Inspired by the Swarovski shimmer effect, Preciosa’s version delivers the same luminous radiance with professional durability and clarity—especially eye-catching under lights or in motion.

What is a Hotfix Rhinestone?

Hotfix rhinestones are designed with a pre-applied heat-activated glue on the flatback, allowing them to be permanently affixed to fabric using a heat press, iron, or wand. The bond is strong, flexible, and long-lasting, making hotfix stones ideal for dancewear, team gear, uniforms, and high-movement apparel.
