ah but I wanted hot fix, cause I knew the ones you glue on would not adhere to the transfer paper! Hot fix prices are further on down the page. 1 Gross of colored 12ss if $6.99 and 10 gross is $49.99. Still cheaper than the ebay site where 1 gross is $9.49 and 10 gross is $60.99. It is the 1 gross of colored AB 12ss that is $7.99, but the ones on the ebay site are not AB rhinestones. But still will depend on what Rhinestone Guy charges for shipping. But they will fit in the small USPS Express Mail box that ships anything that will fit inside anywhere in the US for $5.80. educate me! What are AB stones? This is my first foray into this! i choose Swarovski because I wanted the brightest sparkle if I was going to put this much work into something! didn't need 10 gross but I will make other stuff. Made a black t shirt with a tic tac tow design like one I had in the 80s and luved big time! |

For those who need a cheaper solution, Czech rhinestones are also decent. AB rhinestones have a rainbow effect when light is shined on them. You see rainbow colors on top of the main color. Here is a picture comparison of the plain "Crystal" color and the "Crystal AB" color:   From wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinestone): In 1955, the Aurora Borealis, a thin, vacuum-sputtered metallic coating applied to crystal stones to produce an iridescent effect, was introduced by Swarovski. Aurora Borealis tends to reflect whatever color is worn near it, and it is named after the Aurora Borealis atmospheric phenomenon, also known as the "Northern Lights". Similar treatments are Aqua aura and "Flame aura". |

Learning a new technique is always a kick! Everything I've seen ready made does not compare to the brilliance of these stones! |

Learning a new technique is always a kick! Everything I've seen ready made does not compare to the brilliance of these stones! It depends on the effect that you want. For ballroom dancing we generally like the AB crystals because they pick up the light much better. The pictures in my previous post do not really do it justice. You have to actually see them to see what they really look like. Unless you are paying hundreds of dollars for a rhinestone t-shirt, pre-made clothing will all be using much cheaper quality rhinestones. Found more pictures: The 1st picture is plain Silk and the 2nd picture is Silk AB:   |
