Rhinestones are measured in 'SS' (Stone Size), and jewels are measured in millimeter. All current rulers have an inch side and a Centimeter (CM) side on them. Each centimeter (CM) is divided into 10 units, and each unit is a millimeter (MM).
How do you count rhinestones?
Remember, rhinestones are sold by the gross (a dozen dozens, which equals 144 pieces). If you haven't already, divide the total number of 12ss rhinestones needed by 144 to get the number of gross to order. If it's not an even number, round up to eliminate the decimal. So, that's it!
How big is a 20ss Rhinestone?
This size seems to be perfect for nearly any item from fashion to home decor, quilts, shoes, etc. For costumes 5mm (20ss) crystal is king or queen, whichever you prefer. You'll get lots of sparkle so perfect for stage and screen. The 6mm (30ss) is newer but not as popular as the 7mm (34ss).
