SS size & PP size

Swarovski's SS size & PP size - what is it?

Yes .. what does the enigmatic SS size or the PP size mean?

Crystallized™ - Swarovski Elements, Swarovski's new branding of its core products uses various measurements to classify their jewellery stones. Without more help, some of this measurement-coding could be a bit confusing & meaningless.

You will often see these sizing-codes in relation to Swarovski's crystals like their Flat Backs crystals, etc.

This here is a chart to help you come familiarized with the coding you may see when you are making your purchases.

see also General Information on Rhinestone sizes.
