The various options in Hotfix Rhinestones/Crystals

1: Swarovski Rhinestones – Austrian Crystals
As the best quality rhinestones, the Swarovski Rhinestone is the shiniest rhinestone in the world. Swarovski crystals have a 14 Facet cut for most of the sizes from SS10 –SS40. For SS6 and SS4, there is only 12 facet Cut. PS: For the clear crystal color, the real one have some AB color with reflecting properties. The New series for Hotfix is 2058, Not 2028 any more.
2: Preciosa Rhinestones – Czech Crystals
The secondary quality of rhinestones.  These crystals have a 12 faceted Cut in most sizes, and they are much less expensive when compared to the cost of Swarovski Rhinestones.
3: DMC rhinestone (Diamante Machine Cut)
In the beginning DMC was a brand from a Korean Rhinestone company. DMC are high quality Rhinestones; the 12 faceted cut is equal, and the glue is good. And the price is around 1/10 compared to Swarovski.  Therefore DMC crystals are popular as a  replacement for the high quality rhinestones. As a result many Chinese Rhinestone manufacturers began to produce the Machine Cut rhinestone which have also become known as the China MC stone or Imitation DMC Rhinestones. The glue is not as good as Real DMC, also the facted cut is not as good as Real DMC, however because the price of China MC is even lower than Real DMC, then the market is quickly using a lot of China MC stones.

What are Strass?

Strass Crystal by Swarovski and Preciosa – The term “Strass” means “perfect surface of glass” machine cut and machine polished containing lead quantities of 30% or more. Machine polishing leaves no trace of polishing on the surface of the crystal. Swarovski Strass, manufactured in Austria, is considered the premium brand of Strass due to a patented anti-dust coating and name recognition. Strass crystal is considered the highest quality of crystal trim traditionally used for the production of crystal chandeliers throughout the world.

SIZES ARE AS FOLLOWS: size SS16 and SS20 are the most common
