Rhinestone Sizing
The “ss” associated with rhinestones stands for “stone size”. Rhinestones are also sized by the millimeter for larger sizes.
Larger stones will cover more surface area, while smaller stones will enable you to create more detail. We like to recommend using a variety of sizes on most projects; it helps to add depth to your project!
It also gives the light that many more surfaces to bounce off of; which will make your project sparkle more!
