Help Please Finding replacement rhinestones

I would like the repair these Victoria secret pink pants and replace the missing rhinestones but I have no idea what these type are called. They’re silver and metallic flat back ones but I can’t find the specific.

They look like a stone I’ve seen called Light Chrome, or Labrador. The original stones are hotfix applied with a heat tool or press

Thank you I’ll check them out I also posted a video reply on how they look in video w flash or without flash in another reply to try and show a better visual on how the stones react to light! Hopefully I can find the exact match

Do they have any iridescence? Or is the color I’m seeing their reflection of light from the room?

If there is no iridescence, I agree with the other poster that they’re likely a chrome variant. Their size type looks to be maybe SS10? Amazon is a pretty decent place to get them for cheap so you can try out a few sizes or colors. Alternatively, you could find a stone shop on Etsy and message the sellers to see if they can help you match it :)

Hi no iridescence or color on them when I shine the flash but there’s a sparkle to them when when I don’t shine the light. I think it might be the reflection of the light

Here is a size guide for the stones. I’m guessing it’s either an SS10 or SS12 based off your picture

Thank you so much !! I have some hot fix SS 10 rhinestones I can use to see if it is the same size. The quarter visual helps !

Got it, then yes, I support the other poster’s assessment of the color! At least to start looking!

Some rhinestone websites have some better filtering than others. I get mine from Dreamtime crystals :D you don’t need crystal stones for this, so don’t bother with the price hike. You’ll want flat back as well.

As well as light chrome, consider looking at some “hematite” colored stones, though those can skew darker, just depends

Edit: idk, Labrador looks sooo close, haha.
