Where can I buy some Swarovski crystal Rhinestones like the ones you use for your windstone?
Are the ones you use with Hotfix Adhesive? What glue do you use? Do you have a link?February 22, 2008 at 7:38 am #668182I buy my swarovski jewels online here

Lots of colors and sizes and they have the flatbacked, hotfix and the pointy bottomed ones for pretty decent prices.February 22, 2008 at 6:19 pm #668183Blackdesertwind wrote:Where can I buy some Swarovski crystal Rhinestones like the ones you use for your windstone?

February 22, 2008 at 6:31 pm #668184Do you use Elmers glue to glue the crystals and eyes in??

Yep and I’m pretty sure that is how we have glued in the eyes and horns when I have been down thereFebruary 22, 2008 at 8:44 pm #668187😀 Thanks everyone!
Melody I really like the stones on the copper-gold emperor (says gold-colored Swarovski crystal in the description) and I found them to be similar to the one on my PYO dragon which is TOPAZ.
Are they the same color? And when you order from Swarovski, what color do you specify?
Is it light Colorado topaz that you order?What size is the biggest stone on the emperor? 6mm? Sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure I get the right ones. 😳
February 22, 2008 at 9:28 pm #668188I’m so nosy! Why do you need the same size as in an emperor?

Because I have a ring that has the same size stone but I prefer the color that is on the emperor. And I’m attempting to do a pendant and I was going to match the stone to the one in the ring once it is changed. Oh and I purchased an ammonite pendant on eBay that has these stones but in a different color that I want to change also.
February 22, 2008 at 10:27 pm #668190Windstone orders gems based on SS (stone size) and PP (pearl plate) sizes, instead of mm (millimeters).
The emperor’s two gem sizes are:
24 SS and 24PPThis page has a chart to convert those sizes into millimeters:
