Crystal Calculator

 What is Crystal Calculator®?

Crystal Calculator® helps you determine how many rhinestones you will need for your project.

Crystal Calculator® is EXCLUSIVE to Crystal Couture Inc, in fact we developed it!

Crystallizing a Cell phone, no problem. Follow this "how-to":

                      Step 1:   Simply measure the width and height of the area you want to crystallize.

                                            For example: Cell phone measures 2" wide by 4" in length = 8 square inches.

Step 2:   Determine the stone size (ss) of the Swarovski crystal you want to use.

                                            For example: Size 12ss rhinestones

                      Step 3:   Use the Crystal Calculator® to determine the number of crystals you will need.

                                                           Size 12ss crystal needs 64 crystals/rhinestones per square inch

 (refer to Crystal Calculator® Guide above)

                                            Remember you needed 8 square inches, so multiply the number of square inches

8 by the number of crystals per square inch or 64

64 crystals per square inch x 8 square inches = You need 512 crystals!

 This example would be for full coverage on your phone, the crystals will be next to each other just like the photo!
