What Are Serinity Hotfix Crystals?

Faceted in Austria using the same cutting infrastructure as the world's leading crystal brands, each Serinity hotfix flatback features platinum foiling on the reverse to amplify colour depth and light refraction, and a specially formulated heat-activated adhesive on the base for direct fabric application. Apply using a hotfix applicator wand, heat press or household iron with the steam turned off for a permanent, wash-resistant bond. The range covers sizes SS3 to SS48, spans three precision-cut designs and is available in over 150 colours, effects and finishes, all lead-free and EU REACH-compliant.

How Do You Apply Serinity Hotfix Crystals?

Serinity hotfix crystals have a heat-activated adhesive pre-applied to the foil backing. Three application methods are suitable depending on production scale and context. Choosing the right method before starting avoids inconsistent bonding and rework.

• Hotfix applicator wand — applies crystals individually with a heated tip for precise placement on detailed designs and smaller quantities. The most popular method for one-off, bespoke and sample embellishment work.
• Household iron — applies crystals in bulk by pressing over a pre-positioned design or transfer with the steam setting turned off. Practical for home use and smaller production runs. Also known as iron-on application.
• Heat press — delivers the most consistent and professional result for larger production volumes, with precise temperature and pressure control across a flat surface for fast, uniform application of large quantities.

Hotfix vs Non Hotfix vs Sew-On: Which Should You Use?

Hotfix crystals are the fastest application method for fabric and textile surfaces, with no separate adhesive required and a strong, durable bond that withstands cool-temperature washing. They are the standard choice for dancewear, performance costumes and garment embellishment where speed, cleanliness and bond strength are the priority. Serinity non hotfix crystals bonded with crystal adhesive offer greater surface versatility, working on glass, metal, plastic, leather and other non-porous surfaces as well as fabric, making them more suitable for nail art, accessories and mixed-media work. Serinity sew-on crystals provide the most permanent and durable hold of all three methods, stitched directly onto fabric through pre-drilled holes for performance costumes and garments subjected to repeated physical stress.

Crystal Cuts Explained

Serinity hotfix rhinestones are available in three cut designs, each engineered to maximise light refraction at their respective size ranges.

• 8-facet rose cut — used in SS3 and SS4. A clean, classic cut ideal for fine detail work, micro-embellishment and nail art.
• 14-facet rose cut — used in SS5 to SS10. Optimised for maximum light capture in smaller stone sizes, popular for intricate nail art and close-detail embellishment.
• 16-facet starburst rose cut — used in SS12 to SS48. The most brilliant cut in the range, delivering high-impact light refraction for fashion embellishment, stage costumes and bridal couture.

Available Sizes: SS3 to SS48

Serinity hotfix crystals are sized using the SS (Stone Size) system, covering SS3 (approximately 1.3mm) through to SS48 (approximately 11mm), from ultra-fine micro crystals through to large focal stones for statement embellishment. Each product listing includes both the SS size and millimetre equivalent for easy selection. Commonly ordered sizes include:

• SS5 — approximately 1.8mm
• SS7 — approximately 2.2mm
• SS9 — approximately 2.6mm
• SS12 — approximately 3.1mm
• SS16 — approximately 3.9mm
• SS20 — approximately 4.7mm
• SS30 — approximately 6.4mm
