Most people think that crystals are for jewelry that are meant to be worn. They may be pleasantly surprised to find that crystals can also be attached to fabric to enhance the design of clothing. They are known as hot fix Swarvoski crystals. Swarovski crystals are a very special type of stone. They can be purchased in a vast array of colors - emerald for green, peridot for lime green, sapphire for blue, amethyst for purple, and ruby for red. When you come across the name of a precious stone, you will be able to instantly associate a color with the name. They are the only precious stones with a diamond like appearance, except that they are available in many different colors. The translucent tendency of the stones allow the light to be refracted within, giving it a radiant glittering quality. Due to their wonderfully beautiful appearances, crystals are widely used in the fashion industry as accessories that help give the overall look a more luxurious feel.

Besides being used with chains and rings in jewelry that can be worn, crystals can also be used as precious stones that are attached to clothing. Hot fix Swarovski rhinestones come with glue at the back of the stones. When heated, the glue softens and the stones adhere themselves to the fabric. Heat can be applied with special heat wands that come with applicators of various sizes. Various sizes are necessary because crystals come in many different sizes. Crystal sizes are measured in "ss" (stone sizes). The smallest crystals are labeled as size ss5 (less than 2 mm) while the largest crystals are labeled as size ss48 (about 11mm). The decision on size depends on the design.
