Key Features

• Large quantity: 14400 pieces per bag provides ample supply for multiple projects or production runs without frequently reordering.
• Consistent size: SS16 (3.8-4.0mm) stones maintain a reliable look across applications, so designs read as uniform and professional.
• High sparkle: Multi-sided cutting and a high-precision cross-section give these glass/artificial crystal stones strong reflectivity for eye-catching detail.
• Flat back design: The flatback round shape makes it straightforward to glue onto fabrics, metal, glass and other flat surfaces with the appropriate adhesive.

Who It's For

This pack is built for crafters, costume makers and hobbyists who want a large, uniform supply of black rhinestones for embellishing clothing, shoes, glass, canvas and nails when paired with nail gel or professional adhesives. Small business owners doing batch decoration will value the consistent SS16 sizing and high sparkle.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need self-adhesive or hotfix rhinestones (these are not hotfix and have no adhesive backing) and anyone needing stones for medical or dental use, since these are not suitable for teeth.
