We are delighted to stock high quality glass crystal and resin rhinestones, in addition to jelly resin rhinestones. All our rhinestones are flatback and require an adhesive. Our choice is Liquid Fusion glue which can be purchased on our website.

We also stock Hotfix rhinestones which require a heat press to fuse them to clothing.

AB stands for Aurora Borealis and is named after its likeness to the splendor of the northern lights. These are standard coloured rhinestones with a rainbow-like coating. This gives off a special iridescent finish, reflecting primarily shades of gold, blue and pink.

Glass and resin rhinestones come in a variety of sizes. Glass does come in many more sizes.

Glass sizes are in ss

Resin are in mm

Crystal – high-quality glass rhinestones with a brushed silver backing. Rhinestones with a shiny foil-like backing. Projects with crystal rhinestones are sturdier thanks to the unique bond they can achieve.

*These stones can be purchased in individual colors.

Jelly – resin rhinestones with an AB finish. They are named for their fun candy colors. These are a cost-effective alternative to crystal glass and a fun product to use in colorful projects.

A gross is a dozen dozens = 144 pieces. Manufacturers often package rhinestones in units of gross or dozens mainly used only in glass rhinestones. 

 1 gross = 144 pieces (12 dozen or 12²)

10 gross =1,440 stones (12² x 10)

are special rhinestones that already have a layer of heat-activated glue on their flat back.
When you heat them (usually with a hotfix applicator tool, a heat press, or an iron), the glue melts and sticks the rhinestone securely to fabric or other surfaces.

Key points about hotfix rhinestones:

Pre-glued: They come with glue already applied — no extra glue needed.

Heat-activated: They need heat to melt the glue and attach properly.

Popular for: Clothes, hats, bags, and fabric crafts because the bond is strong and long-lasting.

Not for: Smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, plastic, or metal (unless using special adhesives).

In short: Hotfix rhinestones make decorating fabrics easier and neater because you just heat and press — no messy gluing!

When placing rhinestones there are a few different techniques that are generally used.  Above are our placement guides.  Take note that the honeycomb, scatter and cushion methods have better coverage and allow less gaps.  Painting the background of your project the same color will also camouflage gaps.  Circular patterns are generally only used when covering tumbler lids or other circular objects. 

Bling Mixes are such a fun way for a beginner to get into blinging without worrying about keeping a perfect honeycomb pattern, or just a fun way to incorporate multiple colors into a design! 

All Bling Mixes are proprietary blends exclusive to WGC Bling consisting of only high-quality glass rhinestones.  Stones included in mixes range from SS6-SS30 with the exception of a few select mixes containing SS3, specialty shapes or stones. 

Each and every one of our Bling Mixes are custom made and exclusive to the shop.  These mixes are crafted in house with much care in selecting colors and choosing ratios.  Therefore to protect the brand and the exclusivity of our mixes we do not disclose the stone colors or ratios.

 SO, How much mix do you need for your project??? This can most definitely Vary depending on project and/or placement technique, but we have created this graphic to help make it easier for you to order enough Blinging Bluebird Bling Mixes!
