Preciosa
Preciosa Hotfix Flatback Crystals Light Amethyst (MAXIMA)
Supplied directly by a Preciosa Authorised Partner, these genuine Preciosa hotfix flatback crystals in Light Amethyst deliver the precision and brilliance the brand is known for. Light Amethyst is a soft, pale lavender with a delicate and feminine quality inspired by the amethyst gemstone at its lightest tone, gentle and serene with a clean transparency that lets every facet of the MAXIMA cut deliver maximum sparkle. Perfect for bridal and occasion wear, spring and summer fashion embellishment, and dance and performance wear.
Hotfix flatback crystals feature a factory-applied heat-sensitive glue on the reverse side, bonding permanently to fabric, felt and foam with a hotfix applicator. No separate adhesive is needed, giving you clean, consistent placement every time.
What is the Preciosa MAXIMA cut?
Preciosa produces these hotfix flatback crystals in the precision-cut MAXIMA format, featuring 12 to 18 facets depending on size, for exceptional light reflection and colour intensity across the full range. The MAXIMA cut is available from SS3 to SS48, making it suitable for everything from delicate embellishment detail to large-scale fashion and costume design.
