Maybe this means I will have to update this post as I learn more! I am familiar with the SS crystals, however, because we use them in our bullet stud earrings. To be honest, I don't know too much about the PP Swarovski crystals because I have never used them. Here are the SS sizes you should be able to get ahold of: I said above that you may not be able to get rhinestones for everything in the swarovski crystal size chart below. A 10PP swarovski crystal isn't a pearl, they just use PP for the size because it's an old convention. This is why "Pearl Plate" is used in the naming convention-it used to be a size guide for pearls. Swarovski uses an old jewelry sizing convention, so other crystal manufacturers can use these sizing conventions too. You may not be able to get rhinestones for every one of the sizes below. ![]() The PP crystals tend to be smaller, and the SS crystals tend to be larger, but there is overlap between them. ![]() Swarovski crystals are given a number, followed by either "PP" (Pearl Plate) or "SS" (Stone Size). They are inexpensive materials compared to gemstones, and they are SO beautiful! Swarovski releases many, many different types of rhinestones for people who want to make their own beautiful jewelry, even if they are just making it for themselves! Swarovski rhinestone sizes are a little tricky to understand, because the number doesn't correspond to a certain size (a 6SS crystal is NOT a 6 millimeter diameter!). Many of our products at En Reverie are made with Swarovski Crystals. ![]() It's really frustrating to find you ordered the wrong size, especially when you want to get crafting! Below is a swarovski crystals size guide I found after a quick search (thank you to rhinestonestop). I'll explain swarovski crystal sizes a little bit for anyone who is interested-if you want to read then scroll past the chart! Finding the right swarovski crystal rhinestone sizes for your project can be a little tricky, especially if you're looking to buy them online (we know, since we use them for our bullet jewelry).
