Description
Why Choose Our Rhinestone X Bikini Connector Set
Most bikini connectors are there to do a job and stay out of sight. This one is designed to be part of the look. The bright gold finish, clear rhinestones, and starfish charm give the swimsuit a polished resort feel that works especially well in premium collections.
- A statement X shape that still feels wearable — the open design keeps the connector light and balanced, while the crossed lines give it enough presence to stand out on the garment.
- 17 clear rhinestones for a clean sparkle — the stones follow the shape of the connector, so the shine looks intentional rather than overly flashy.
- Bright gold finish for resort styling — easy to pair with black, white, ivory, metallic, turquoise, coral, and jewel-tone swimwear.
- Starfish charm adds an instant beach reference — customers can tell right away that the piece belongs in a bikini, resort-wear, or vacation collection.
- Jewelry-inspired without looking too heavy — the set adds a premium finish while keeping the overall scale suitable for swimwear.
- Small logo detail on the back — a discreet way to add branding without interrupting the rhinestone design on the front.
- Made for boutique and premium swimwear labels — ideal for resort drops, holiday capsules, poolside collections, beach clubs, and private-label bikini lines.
- Low MOQ — suitable for emerging swimwear brands, seasonal launches, limited runs, and new collection testing.
- Fast sampling — review the plating, rhinestone layout, size, logo, strap fit, and charm placement before placing a production order.
- OEM & ODM ready — send us your sketch, logo, CAD file, strap size, color reference, or sample, and we’ll develop the hardware around your collection.
- Trusted by swimwear and resort-wear brands worldwide — ButtonArea helps brands turn decorative concepts into production-ready metal hardware.

Customization Options
The connector shape, stone color, plating, logo, strap opening, charm, and packaging can all be adjusted to suit your collection.
Design Style
- Classic rhinestone X connector — the current open shape with 17 clear stones.
- Minimal X connector — fewer stones and cleaner lines for a more understated resort look.
- Full-glam version — more rhinestone coverage for evening swimwear, pool parties, and high-impact collections.
- Logo-inspired connector — build the center or outer shape around initials, a monogram, or a brand symbol.
- Fully custom connector — develop shells, waves, flowers, letters, geometric shapes, or other collection-specific motifs.
Shape & Size
- Current connector size — 25 × 17 × 2 mm.
- Current starfish charm size — 23 × 15 × 8 mm.
- Side-bar width can be adjusted to fit narrow bikini straps or wider fabric bands.
- The connector can be scaled down for subtle styling or enlarged for a stronger statement piece.
- Charm size and ring diameter can also be adjusted to suit the garment.
Material
- Connector body — zinc alloy.
- Starfish body — zinc alloy.

Logo & Branding
- Recessed logo on the back.

Styling Ideas
- Pair the bright gold connector with a black bikini for a sharp, high-contrast look.
- Use it with white or ivory swimwear for a clean luxury-resort feel.
- Match the starfish charm with turquoise, coral, or ocean-blue fabric for an obvious beach theme.
- Coordinate it with gold rings, sliders, logo plates, and zipper pulls across the same collection.
- Use the X connector as the main focal point and place the starfish charm on the hip, strap, or side seam as a separate detail.
