Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Blue Violet?
Blue Violet is a cool-toned crystal color that blends soft lavender and icy blue. It reads as a dreamy, ethereal violet under stage and natural lighting — distinct from the deeper, warmer tones of Amethyst and the purer blue of Sapphire.
What is the difference between Blue Violet and Amethyst?
Amethyst is a deeper, richer purple with warm violet undertones. Blue Violet is cooler and softer, with a noticeable blue-lavender quality that reads as more ethereal and less saturated than Amethyst. Side by side, Blue Violet is the lighter, icier of the two.
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 visibility than the smallest extra-small sizes without moving into mid-sized coverage territory.
