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. It is a strong choice for designs that call for a clean, saturated teal that holds its color well even at small sizes.
How small is 6ss, and is it right for my project?
6ss rhinestones measure approximately 1.9mm – 2.1mm — roughly the size of a typed period on a printed page. They are best suited for nail art, fine outlines, and dense fills on costumes and accessories where texture and shimmer matter more than individual stone visibility. For designs where each stone needs to read clearly on its own, 12ss or larger is a better fit.
What is the difference between Preciosa VIVA 12® and MAXIMA Crystals by Preciosa® at 6ss?
Both are genuine Preciosa crystals made in the Czech Republic. MAXIMA is Preciosa's premium line, featuring additional precision cuts for maximum light refraction and a higher price point. Preciosa VIVA 12® is Preciosa's 12-facet value line, offering reliable sparkle and consistent quality at a more budget-friendly price — a strong choice for high-volume projects and dense fills where cost per stone matters.
Can I use 6ss Blue Zircon hotfix stones on nails?
Yes, though nail application typically uses a dedicated nail adhesive rather than heat. The hotfix glue backing does not interfere with standard nail glue application. At 6ss, these stones are a popular size for detailed nail art, accent nails, and nail tip designs where a fine, jewel-toned teal is the goal.
