Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Dark Indigo?
Dark Indigo is a deep midnight blue with violet undertones. It reads as a rich, dramatic navy-purple under stage and natural lighting, darker and moodier than Sapphire and distinctly more blue than Amethyst. It is a strong choice for designs that call for depth and intensity rather than brightness.
What is the difference between Dark Indigo and Sapphire?
Sapphire is a pure, jewel-toned blue with strong saturation. Dark Indigo is darker and has noticeable violet undertones, giving it a navy-purple quality that reads as more mysterious and dramatic. Side by side, Dark Indigo is the deeper and moodier 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 extra-small sizes without moving into mid-sized coverage territory.
