Rhinestone Sizes

Rhinestones are measured in PP (Pearl Plate) and SS (Stone Size or Sieve Size - depending on where you read). PP is used for smaller stones, and refers to a small plate with holes drilled in it that is used for sorting pearls (the hole they fall through determines the size.) These traditional measurements are confusing - we hope this conversion chart will help.
