Green splits in two directions, and which one you need decides everything else. A yellow-leaning green reads fresh and bright and works for spring, lime, and sport palettes. A blue-leaning green reads deep and jewel-toned and works for emerald, forest, and holiday palettes. The two do not substitute for each other.

Peridot is the most-stocked green we carry, a clear yellow-green named after the gemstone and the closest thing to a true bright green in the range. Chrysolite is paler and softer, closer to a sage. Olivine is deeper and more golden, an olive green that reads almost brown against warm fabric. Limecicle and Mint Green sit on the pale yellow-green end.

On the blue-green end, Emerald is the deep jewel tone and the second most-stocked shade here. Erinite is lighter and cooler than Emerald, a soft blue-green. Caribbean Sea leans further still toward our turquoise range. Khaki, Army Green Delite, and Vitrail Medium cover the muted and earthy greens, and Chrysolite Opal is the semi-opaque version with the milky glow of our opal finish.

Neon Green and Electric Green are opaque rather than transparent, so they hold a flat saturated color that does not dim under a stage wash. Emerald and Erinite are also available with AB and shimmer treatments. Greens are stocked in flatback across MAXIMA Crystals by Preciosa^®, LUX European Crystal^®, Starcut Crystal^™, and PriceLess Crystal^™.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Peridot and Emerald rhinestones?

Peridot is a bright yellow-green, lighter and fresher. Emerald is a deep blue-green jewel tone. Peridot reads as spring and lime. Emerald reads as forest and holiday. They are the two most-stocked greens we carry and they sit at opposite ends of the range, so one rarely substitutes for the other.

Which green rhinestone is kelly green?

Peridot is the closest transparent match to a kelly or grass green. If you need it brighter and flatter, Neon Green is opaque and holds a stronger green under stage lighting. Shamrock is the other option for a traditional Irish green.

What is an Olivine rhinestone?

Olivine is a deep golden green, closer to olive than to a true green. It carries enough yellow and brown to work with earthy and western palettes where a bright green would look out of place. Pair it with gold or brown stones rather than with silver.

Which green works best for a holiday or Christmas design?

Emerald is the standard, because its depth sits well against a true red without the two competing. A yellow-green like Peridot next to a cool red reads as a clash rather than a classic pairing. Match the undertones: cool green with cool red, warm with warm.

Do green rhinestones come in AB?

Yes. Emerald is available in standard green and also available coated with an aurora borealis (AB) coating, in both Emerald AB and Emerald Shimmer AB. Erinite has a shimmer AB version as well. The base stone stays green and the coating adds an iridescent shift over it.

How do I choose between green shades?
Order a rhinestone color chart and lay the stones on the fabric under the lighting the piece will be worn in. Green is the range where the yellow-versus-blue lean matters most, and it is exactly what a screen's color profile flattens.
