Preciosa have just released a new range of unfoiled (see through) hotfix rhinestones, which now includes the standard colour range, as well as Clear and AB.
This clear unfoiled crystal, also known as Transparent, is a completely see-through crystal without a foil backing, enabling you to apply it to any colour surface and allowing the surface colour to shine through. It is ideal if you are unsure on which colour best matches your fabric, or if you simply want to add some subtle sparkle. It is popular for decorating bridal wear such as veils, gowns, headpieces and accessories.
Unfoiled, also known as Pure, crystals are completely see through, without a foil backing. Unfoiled crystals are great for applying to a surface that can be seen from behind, as it means the ugly silver foil backing won't be visible. For example, if you are embellishing delicate fabrics such as silk, netting, satin, mesh, chiffon, lace etc, the back of the crystal will be the same colour as the front.
This crystal is the MAXIMA cut which contains 15 - 18 facets, offering more sparkle than the Viva12 cut.
- SS6 - SS20 contain 15 facets
- SS30 - SS48 contain 18 facets
