Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Siam in rhinestones?
Siam is a deep, classic ruby red with rich intensity and cool blue undertones. It reads as bold and dramatic under stage and natural lighting — darker and more jewel-toned than Light Siam, and distinctly cooler and more blue-leaning than Hyacinth or Indian Red. It is a strong choice for designs that call for a true, theatrical red with depth and presence.
What are 30ss rhinestones best for?
30ss rhinestones measure approximately 6.3mm – 6.5mm and are one of the larger hotfix sizes. They are best for bold statement accents, costume borders, scattered large stones, and designs that need to read clearly from a distance under stage lights. A 2 gross pack (288 pieces) suits generous accent areas or multiple costume pieces.
What is the difference between Siam and Light Siam at 30ss?
Siam is a deep, saturated ruby red with strong color intensity. Light Siam is a softer, brighter red-pink that reads as warmer and less jewel-toned. Under stage lighting, Siam reads as dark and dramatic while Light Siam reads as bright and lively. The two pair well in layered red designs where depth and contrast are the goal.
Can I mix Siam 30ss hotfix with smaller sizes for a layered design?
Yes. Pairing 30ss stones as focal accents with 16ss or 20ss fill stones in Siam is a common technique for graduated coverage. Because MAXIMA crystals are sorted to strict size tolerances, Siam at different sizes will match in color and finish throughout the design.
