Rhinestones, Swarovski (153)

Crystal vs AB Stones vs Color Effects vs Unfoiled

Rhinestones come in either clear or colored. The name of the stone reflects the color. AB stands for Aurora Borealis which means that a special coating is added to give the stone more shine changing its appearance up close.  We recommend using AB color stones when doing a tone on tone application. For example: using a Sapphire AB stone on a sapphire fabric. This will help the fabric to shine without the stones looking like polkadots. We also recommend using the the crystal color when putting the stone on a different color to create color designs. For example: using  peridot and emerald stones to create a flower on a brown fabric. These are general rules of thumb to follow when deciding how to finish a costume. A color effects stone in one in which the colors are mixed. Depending on the view angle the stone will appear to be two or three different colors. An unfoiled stone (currently available with an AB finish only) is one that has not had the silver foil backing applied. This allows the color of the fabric to be reflected through the stone. For any further information please call 1-630-323-1962.  All prices are subject to change without notice.
