Rhinestones is a term loosely applied to any glass or crystal shaped ‘jewels’ used in costume jewelry, clothing decoration, or anywhere the cost or shape of the “real thing” rules out its use.  They are created to resemble gems. Some have a flat bottoms, for gluing, mounting and hot fix applications. Some feature a flat back with drilled holes or in metal settings for sewing.  Others, feature a pointed back, like a diamond, and used applications. Our focus is the flat back variety of stones, flat backs and sew-on types.
