Jelly and AB finishes
Jelly stones are translucent, candy-colored resin. They glow rather than flash, which is why fully covered jelly tumblers look soft and bright. AB (aurora borealis) is an iridescent coating that throws rainbow reflections; it exists on both glass and resin.
AB and single-color resin
Bulk bags in one color, for designs a mixed tub can’t fill.

Mixing them
Resin fill with a scatter of larger glass accents is a common way to get sparkle without the cost of an all-glass piece. Keep the heights similar: glass stones of the same nominal size can sit slightly taller.
Common questions
Are resin rhinestones good quality?
For full-coverage work on hard objects they are a sensible choice. Next to glass they look softer and scratch more easily.
Are crystal rhinestones glass?
“Crystal” in rhinestone listings usually means glass. Premium lead-crystal stones exist and are priced accordingly.
