Sun Golden Orange Hotfix Rhinestones – SS6 & SS10

Meet Sun—a rich, warm golden-orange hotfix rhinestone that brings bold color and brilliant glass sparkle to your designs. ☀️🧡💎

Sun isn't a bright lemon yellow, and it isn't a metallic gold. It lives in that beautiful warm space between golden yellow and orange, giving you a saturated, sun-kissed color with plenty of depth.

Think warm sunshine with the temperature turned UP. 🔥☀️

Use Sun for apparel, lettering, accessories, rhinestone templates, school and team colors, autumn palettes, sunflower designs, warm-toned projects and anywhere you need a golden-orange stone that refuses to disappear into the background.

And if you've never tried Sun on black fabric, DO IT. 🖤☀️ The dark background creates dramatic contrast and lets that rich golden-orange color and faceted sparkle absolutely shine.

Warm. Golden. Vibrant. SUN came to do exactly what its name promised. ☀️💎✨

☀️ What Color Is Sun?

With several yellows, golds and oranges in our rhinestone collection, knowing where a color sits can make choosing the right stone much easier.

Sun is a warm golden-orange yellow.

It has more orange warmth than a traditional bright yellow, but it still retains enough golden-yellow character to keep it from reading as a straight orange.

That makes Sun especially useful when you want something:

• Warmer than a traditional yellow
• More golden-orange than Citrine
• Brighter and more saturated than many muted golden tones
• Colorful rather than metallic

Sun gives you traditional colored-glass sparkle, not a chrome or metallic finish.

☀️ Sun, Citrine or Goldenrod?

If you're shopping our yellow-to-gold family, these three colors serve different purposes.

Citrine → a brighter, cleaner traditional yellow ☀️

Goldenrod → a deeper, warm golden-yellow 🌾

Sun → a richer golden-orange yellow with noticeably more orange warmth 🧡☀️

None of these is a metallic gold.

If you specifically want the look of metallic gold, take a look at Aurum Dorado instead.

So the question isn't simply:

“Do I need yellow?”

Around here, apparently the question is:

“Exactly WHAT KIND of yellow are we discussing?” 😂💎

🧡 Build a Warm-Toned Palette

Sun is especially useful for building warm, vibrant rhinestone combinations.

Try pairing it with:

• Reds and deeper oranges for fiery palettes
• Browns and golden neutrals for warm earthy combinations
• Greens for botanical, sunflower and harvest-inspired designs
• Crystal for clean contrast and extra sparkle
• Blues and purples when you want stronger color contrast
• Other yellows and oranges for a dimensional monochromatic palette

You can also find Sun inside our Capri Son Mix, where it's paired with Capri for a bold blue-and-yellow combination.

And Sun is the related standard-line color to ICY Pumpkin in our ICY Premier Collection. They live in the same general color family, but they are not exact duplicates and should not be treated as interchangeable.

💎 Please Note About Color

Warm yellow and orange tones can appear somewhat different depending on lighting, surrounding colors, fabric color and screen/device settings.

Sun may appear more golden-yellow in some environments and more orange in others. This is why we describe it as a golden-orange yellow rather than simply yellow or orange.

We do our best to photograph and display colors accurately. However, slight variations in color may occur between batches.

If you're adding Sun rhinestones to stones you already own, we recommend purchasing enough for your entire project at one time for the closest possible match.
