What Are Serinity Chatons and Round Stones?

Also known as pointed back crystals, round stones or table diamonds, Serinity chatons are multi-faceted round glass crystal stones with a pointed back and a faceted crown on the front. The pointed back concentrates light refraction to create outstanding depth of colour, distinguishing them from flatback crystals which sit flush against a surface. Chatons require a setting, cavity or bead embroidery technique to hold the pointed back securely while the faceted crown faces outward.

Foiled vs Unfoiled Chatons: What Is the Difference?

Foiled chatons have a metallic coating on the pointed back that acts as a mirror, maximising light reflection within the setting for the highest possible brilliance. Unfoiled versions allow light to pass through the stone from both sides, making them suitable for bead embroidery techniques and transparent settings where light transmission is part of the design. Both versions are available across the full size and colour range.

Sizes, Colours and Finishes

Serinity chatons use the standard PP (pearl plate) and SS (stone size) sizing system, covering the full range from PP1 through to 18mm. PP sizes cover the smallest stones used in fine detail work and bead embroidery, with SS sizes extending through to 18mm for larger focal stones. Each product listing includes the size code and millimetre equivalent for easy selection. Over 90 colours and finishes are available, including:

Crystal (clear)
Crystal AB — Aurora Borealis iridescent effect
Shimmer effects
Metallic finishes
Seasonal and specialty colours

All sizes are available in both foiled and unfoiled versions.

What Are Serinity Chatons and Round Stones Used For?

Jewellers and designers primarily use Serinity chatons in prong and bezel settings for bespoke jewellery. Their pointed back and depth of colour also make them a favourite for bead embroidery, resin work and cup chain applications.

Prong and bezel settings for rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets
Bead embroidery — stitched around with seed beads to create a fabric bezel
Metal clay and resin jewellery — pressed into a shaped cavity
Cup chain — small chatons set into continuous linked metal cups for border and trim work
Couture and fashion work — dimensional set stones that add depth beyond flatback applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Serinity chatons? ▾

Serinity chatons are multi-faceted round glass crystal stones with a fully pointed back and a faceted crown on the front, manufactured in Austria by Bluestreak Crystals. Also known as round stones or pointed back crystals, they are used in prong and bezel settings, bead embroidery and clay or resin embedding wherever maximum depth of colour and brilliance is required. Available in a comprehensive range of PP and SS sizes, colours and foiled or unfoiled finishes with no application or approval required to purchase.

Who makes Serinity chatons? ▾

Serinity is a brand created and launched by Bluestreak Crystals in January 2022. The chatons are manufactured in Austria using precision cutting techniques and finished in the United Kingdom. As the brand's creators, Bluestreak Crystals stocks the most comprehensive range of Serinity chatons available anywhere worldwide.

Do I need to apply to buy Serinity chatons? ▾

No. Serinity chatons and round stones are available to purchase immediately with no application, approval or brand agreement required. Any individual, designer or business can buy directly through our online store in retail or wholesale quantities, and use or market the stones without any licensing restrictions.

Are Serinity chatons as good as Swarovski? ▾

Yes. Serinity chatons are manufactured in Austria to the same high lead-free crystal standards as Swarovski, delivering comparable depth of colour, brilliance and consistency. Serinity uses the same PP and SS sizing conventions as Swarovski, meaning chaton sizes translate directly between the two brands. The transition from Swarovski to Serinity chatons is seamless for both individual jewellers and production designers, with no need to adjust settings or design specifications.

What is the difference between foiled and unfoiled Serinity chatons? ▾

Foiled chatons have a metallic coating applied to the pointed back facets, which acts as a mirror to maximise light reflection within the setting regardless of the material the stone sits against. Foiled stones are the standard choice for metal prong settings and opaque cavities. Unfoiled chatons allow light to pass through the stone from both sides and are preferred in certain bead embroidery techniques and transparent settings where light transmission through the crystal is part of the design effect.

What is the difference between Serinity chatons and flatback crystals? ▾

Serinity chatons have a fully pointed back and must be held in a metal setting, embedded in a cavity or stitched around using bead embroidery techniques. Serinity flatback crystals have a flat reverse and are applied directly to surfaces using hotfix adhesive, jewellery glue or stitching. Chatons create greater depth of colour and dimensional brilliance suited to fine jewellery settings; flatbacks provide surface coverage and are faster to apply across a wider range of surfaces. Both types are widely used together within a single jewellery or embellishment design.

What sizes do Serinity chatons come in? ▾

Serinity chatons are measured in PP (pearl plate) and SS (stone size) units, matching Swarovski's sizing conventions exactly. PP sizes cover smaller chatons from PP14 (approximately 2.0mm) through to PP32 (approximately 4.05mm), with SS sizes extending to larger stones. The most popular sizes for jewellery making and bead embroidery are PP24 (approximately 3.1mm) through to SS29 (approximately 6.25mm). Each product listing includes both the size code and the millimetre equivalent.

Can I switch from Swarovski to Serinity chatons without changing my designs? ▾

Yes. Serinity uses the same PP and SS sizing conventions as Swarovski, meaning chaton sizes translate directly between the two brands. Settings, bezels and bead embroidery patterns designed for Swarovski chatons will accept Serinity chatons of the same size without any adjustment. Switching is straightforward for both individual jewellers and production designers.
