Crushed Ice Clear Hotfix Rhinestones – SS6 & SS10

Meet Crushed Ice—a crystal-clear hotfix rhinestone with brilliant glass sparkle and a special talent: the color underneath gets a vote! 🧊💎✨

Unlike a solid-color rhinestone, Crushed Ice is clear, allowing the color of the fabric or material underneath to influence its finished appearance. Put it on one color and you'll get one look. Move that same stone to another color and the overall effect can change.

That makes Crushed Ice incredibly versatile—and especially fun when you want sparkle that works with your project's existing color rather than covering it.

Use Crushed Ice for lettering, apparel, accessories, dance and performance wear, rhinestone templates, monochromatic designs and projects where you want the underlying fabric color to remain part of the finished look. This works BEAUTIFULLY over sublimated images!!!

Perfect for Sublimation Upgrades
Clear rhinestones are a beautiful way to add sparkle over sublimated designs on suitable polyester. Because sublimation becomes part of the polyester rather than creating a separate layer on top of the garment, the rhinestones can be applied directly over the design while the sublimated colors remain visible beneath the clear stones.

Important: For apparel, we do not recommend applying hotfix rhinestones over HTV, DTF or screen-printed transfers. These create a layer between the rhinestone adhesive and the fabric, which can prevent the hotfix adhesive from properly bonding with the garment fibers and may cause stones to release during wear or washing.

Sublimation brings the artwork. Clear rhinestones bring the sparkle. 💎✨

Always test your specific polyester garment and pressing setup before production, especially with coated or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Clear stone. Your fabric's color. A whole lotta sparkle. 🧊💎✨

🧊 Why Does Crushed Ice Look Different on Different Fabrics?

Because Crushed Ice is crystal clear, the color beneath the rhinestone can influence what you see through and around the stone.

A Crushed Ice rhinestone placed on black fabric can look noticeably different from the same rhinestone placed on red, blue, purple or white fabric.

So if you've seen Crushed Ice used in one project and yours looks a little different on another color garment, that doesn't necessarily mean you received a different stone.

The material underneath gets a vote! 💎

That's part of what makes Crushed Ice so versatile.

💎 Crushed Ice or Crystal?

Both are clear glass hotfix rhinestones, but they create different visual effects.

Crystal is our classic clear rhinestone, designed to give you clean, traditional crystal sparkle.

Crushed Ice has its own distinctive clear appearance and allows the material underneath to play a noticeable role in the finished look.

Choose Crystal when you want classic clear rhinestone brilliance.

Choose Crushed Ice when you want a clear stone that interacts more noticeably with the color underneath.

✨ Crushed Ice or Crushed Ice AB?

The difference is the finish.

Crushed Ice gives you clear sparkle influenced by the color underneath.

Crushed Ice AB combines that clear-family character with an Aurora Borealis (AB) finish, adding multicolor reflections that change with lighting and viewing angle.

If you want the fabric color to help tell the story, choose Crushed Ice.

If you want the fabric color plus multicolor AB reflections joining the party, choose Crushed Ice AB. 🌈💎

💎 Please Note About Color & Appearance

Because Crushed Ice is clear, its appearance can change significantly depending on the color and type of material underneath it, as well as surrounding colors, lighting and viewing conditions.

This means photographs of Crushed Ice on one fabric color may not accurately represent how the same rhinestones will look on a different fabric color.

We do our best to photograph and display our rhinestones accurately. However, differences in lighting and screen/device settings can also affect their appearance.

Slight variations may occur between production batches. If adding to stones you already own, we recommend purchasing enough for your entire project at one time for the closest possible match.
