What Are Hotfix Rhinestones?
Hotfix rhinestones are flat-back crystals with a heat-activated glue layer on the back. When you press them with heat (around 160 to 180 C) and light pressure, the glue melts and bonds the stone permanently to fabric, leather or transfer film. They are the easiest way to add sparkle to apparel, accessories and DIY projects without sewing.

We stock 60+ colors across crystal, AB (aurora borealis), jet black, rose, sapphire, emerald and seasonal shades. Sizes follow the SS (stone size) scale:
| SS Size | Diameter (mm) | Common use |
|---|---|---|

Glass vs Crystal vs Korean Stone
Glass rhinestones give bright, economical sparkle for high-volume orders. Crystal (lead-free) rhinestones deliver sharper refraction and a premium look for branded apparel. Korean stones sit in the middle with consistent quality and friendly pricing. Tell us your target price and we will match the right grade.
