Just got these rhinestones and OMG they're SO sparkly! The package says 'diamond-like shine' and they weren't lying. Tried them on my denim jacket under sunlight and got literal rainbows everywhere.

The size is perfect for detailed work - about the size of a pencil eraser. Some reviews mentioned they're smaller than expected, but honestly 12mm is ideal for most of my projects (hats, hair clips). The metal base feels sturdy when sewing.

Color distribution is... interesting? Got like 10-12 of each shade but some colors definitely have more pieces. The aurora borealis white ones are STUNNING though - worth the uneven distribution alone.

Warning: About 5 stones fell out during unpacking (the tiny edge pieces). Not a dealbreaker since there's 150 total, but maybe don't shake the bag too hard!

Used both glue and thread methods - threading through the side holes works better for heavy-use items. Pro tip: Use fishing line instead of regular thread for extra security!

Final verdict? At this price point, they're fantastic for crafters who want variety. Not professional jeweler quality, but perfect for DIY magic ✨
