Did you know that rhinestones come in a huge range of colors? And there’s so much choice beyond standard crystals. You can get color rhinestones in pearl, opal, marble and even animal print effects.

Read on to find out all about color rhinestones and the different color effects available. And find the perfect stone for your design style.

Different Color Effects for Colored Rhinestones

Color rhinestones come in a variety of different finishes. Here’s a list of the most popular:

Clear Rhinestones (Transparent White)

Transparent rhinestones are the industry standard. These clear rhinestones have a classic look and are made to resemble a diamond. Swarovski crystal, glass and plastics like acrylic and resin can all be used to make clear rhinestones.

Transparent Colored Rhinestones

Transparent color rhinestones are made in the same way as clear rhinestones and have a similar sparkly finish. The only difference is that these rhinestones come in a range of colors.

AB Color Rhinestones

AB color rhinestones are named after the aurora borealis (or northern lights). And they’re made by applying an iridescent coating onto a clear rhinestone. This gives a multi-color, rainbow effect. Crystal AB and Crystal Volcano are both types of AB coated rhinestones.

Other Effects

Many of the rhinestone finishes below are made to mimic materials found in nature.

  • Pearl – As its name suggests, this is a rhinestone made to look like a pearl. Nacre pearl rhinestones are another variety, with different pearl colors.

  • Opal – Again, another obvious one. These are rhinestones that have been designed to look like an opal.

  • Opaque – These stones aren’t transparent like standard crystals. And they come in color palettes like pastel macaron and neon.

  • Ceramic – Ceramic stones are made to imitate the finish you get on decorative ceramics.

  • Matte – Matte stones have a finish that isn’t shiny.

  • Special Finishes – Special finishes include gold, silver, marble and brushed and sprayed rhinestones. Other rhinestone paint colors like terrazzo, floral or leaves are also include. 

  • Animal Print – These rhinestones come in a variety of prints, including tiger, leopard and giraffe. They also come in a variety of colors.

Are all Color Effects Available in All Rhinestone Materials?

Crystal and glass are usually made into transparent color and classic clear rhinestones. They look like diamonds or gemstones.

If you’re looking for a more unique effect, acrylic or resin plastic is the way to go. With these materials it’s possible to create a much greater variety of colors and effects. This is why you’ll only find animal print, ceramic, marble and sprayed rhinestones made from a plastic material.

Why A Rhinestone Color Chart is Useful

A rhinestone color chart is an easy way to see and compare the colors and effects available. And it can help you to make some important choices when it comes to deciding on the rhinestones you want to stock in your store or use yourself.

Every rhinestone brand will have its own color chart available to customers. Some suppliers will also sell them as a sample chart.
