Size Reference

30ss rhinestones measure approximately 6.3mm – 6.5mm — a large stone roughly the size of a small pea. At this scale, individual stones read as bold focal points and are typically used as accents alongside smaller fill sizes rather than for dense coverage. For a full breakdown of rhinestone sizes, see our rhinestone size chart with ss, mm, and inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Blue Zircon in rhinestones?

Blue Zircon is a vivid, bright teal with balanced blue and green tones. It reads as jewel-like and luminous under stage and natural lighting — brighter and more green-forward than Aquamarine, and lighter and more blue-forward than Emerald. At 30ss, it reads as a bold, eye-catching teal from across a room or competition floor.

How many 30ss rhinestones do I need for a dance costume?

A typical competition dance costume uses roughly 300–600 stones at 30ss, depending on coverage density and design. One package of 288 pieces covers most single-costume accent builds. For a heavily embellished design or multiple costumes, order two packages to avoid running short mid-project.

What is the difference between Preciosa VIVA 12® and MAXIMA Crystals by Preciosa® at 30ss?

Both are genuine Preciosa crystals made in the Czech Republic. MAXIMA is Preciosa's premium line with additional precision cuts for maximum light refraction and a higher price point. Preciosa VIVA 12® is Preciosa's 12-facet value line — reliable sparkle and consistent quality at a more budget-friendly price. At 30ss, where individual stones are prominent, the sparkle difference between the two lines is more visible than at smaller sizes.

Can I mix 30ss Blue Zircon hotfix with smaller sizes on the same costume?

Yes — this is one of the most common approaches for dance and competition costuming. Pairing 30ss accent stones with 16ss or 20ss fill stones in Blue Zircon creates dimension and visual interest across the design. Because Preciosa VIVA 12® crystals are sorted to consistent size tolerances, Blue Zircon at different sizes will match in color and finish throughout.
