Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Sun in rhinestones?
Sun is a vivid, warm yellow with strong saturation and brightness. It reads as bold and cheerful under stage and natural lighting — more saturated and pure yellow than Topaz, which leans amber, and brighter and warmer than Jonquil, which is softer and more pastel. It is a strong choice for designs that call for a true, eye-catching yellow with no brown or green cast.
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 Sun and Topaz at 30ss?
Sun is a pure, saturated yellow with no brown cast. Topaz is a golden amber — warmer and more orange-tinged than Sun, with a richer, deeper quality. Under stage lighting, Sun reads as bright and vivid while Topaz reads as warm and jewel-toned. The two complement each other well in designs that blend yellow and gold tones.
Can I mix Sun 30ss hotfix with smaller sizes for a layered design?
Yes. Pairing 30ss stones as focal accents with 16ss or 20ss fill stones in Sun is a common technique for graduated coverage. Because MAXIMA crystals are sorted to strict size tolerances, Sun at different sizes will match in color and finish throughout the design.
