What size eye crystals for G2?

[ponyqueen]

Hi! I've got some Michael's coupons and I've heard that Swarovski makes crystals ("elements") that are great replacement for G2 eyes. Before I go over to the store scratching my head, what should I know? I imagine there are different sizes, not sure how they're measured. Anyone know what I should get?

there was a thread with all the info for them. even with names of websites were is the  best place to buy them, because the craft stores are so overpriced

I bought some from ebay a while back
 this is what is on the bags

PP18

There you are, Houston! And just in time... I have a 40% off coupon at Michael's and I'm heading that way in about 15 minutes. I'll let you know what I find!

Swarovski SS12 are apparently the perfect size and color match for G2 eye crystals

This is the closest thing I found in Michael's. They seem to be measured by mm, and the closest size looks like 3mm. I can't find PP18 or SS12 marked anywhere on them, although they appear to be the same thing when I search those terms online- Swarovski elements flatback crystals. Do I have the right thing?

I was just browsing e bay
I found the seller I got mine from
will Pm you   , the size  3 mm  seems to be too big though , as the ones i just found read  2.4 to 2.5 mm

I'm checking out that link you sent.  I like the point back rather than flat back. Craft store didn't have point backs. Thanks again!

TSU posted some great comparisons over in this thread - http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,348809.0.html - they should help you with colour matches.
