Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Vivid Siam in rhinestones?
Vivid Siam is an intense, electric crimson-red with deep saturation and commanding presence. It reads as a bold, pure red under stage and natural lighting, brighter and more electric than classic Siam and distinctly more crimson than the slightly darker ruby-red quality of standard Siam. It is the choice when a maximum-impact red is the goal.
What is the difference between Vivid Siam and Siam?
Siam is a deep, rich ruby-red with classic jewel-toned depth. Vivid Siam is more saturated and more intensely crimson, with an electric quality that reads as bolder and more vivid under lighting. Side by side, Vivid Siam is the higher-intensity version of the two — same red family, more dramatic presence.
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.
