What is Shimmer AB?

Shimmer AB is a lighter, more refined Aurora Borealis-style coating that enhances the base crystal color without overpowering it. Inspired by Swarovski’s shimmer finish, Preciosa’s Shimmer AB adds a soft, multicolored glow for dimension and brilliance—especially eye-catching under stage or studio lighting.

What is a Hotfix Rhinestone?

Hotfix rhinestones come with a heat-activated glue already applied to the flatback. When heated with a press or wand, the glue melts and bonds securely to most fabrics. Hotfix is the preferred method for high-use garments because of its strong, flexible adhesion and long-lasting performance under movement and wash.
