A colorless artificial gem of paste or glass, often with facets that sparkle in imitation of a diamond. Because rhinestones could be made to imitate diamonds, the name rhinestone was applied to artificial gems made from paste, glass, or gem quartz and as a result often carries a connotation of showbiz glitz or bling!
Rhinestones offer a great alternative decorating process for client's wanting a glitzy, 'bling' effect to their logo. They are often used for team wear, schools, resorts, clubs, bars, and in the corporate markets.

Swarovski Crystals: Know in fashion as the superior quality crystal stone. The most important single item in this production group is the XILION Rose - the most brilliant cut on the market.
Lead Free Stones: The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 is a United States law signed on August 14, 2008. The legislation reduces the amount of total lead content in children's products to:
600 ppm by 10 February 2009 300 ppm by 14 August 2009 100 ppm by 14 August 2011

Rhinestuds: Hot fix rhinestuds are made of mental and are free of lead. They have 8 facets for size 2mm - 3mm and 16 facets for sizes above 4mm. Although not as transparent as other stones, you still get bright, shining effects. Rhinestuds are a good substitute when your designs in rhinestones cost too much.
DMC Stones: DMC stones, or Machine Cut Stones, are more shinny and have a stronger backing than regular stones by its better cutting and gluing process. Those who use Swarovski or Czech stones before may think Korean stones are not as glittery even though their price is lower. Thus DMC stones maybe the better choice. Please notice that our DMC stones differ from those MC or Chinese AAA stones. Our stones are of better quality for consistent color, shape and glue.
Nailheads: Same as rhinestuds, nailheads are mental made as well. With the round dome, it gives you more choice in decorations . Nailheads have more sizes from 1.5mm - 16mm.
Copper Domes: If you think stone or studs are more women oriented and your products are for men or boys, why not try copper dome? Available in antique silver, antique copper, antique brass, silver, gold and black. Though mental copper dome has only 6 colors, it is more antique, and looks cool and trendy on Jeans, Jackets and Hats.
Epoxy Faceted: Epoxy stones are made of translucent plastic. It is special in some of its opal colors and the close textures . It could be a good decoration choice in high-grade garments like Swarovski.
Pyramids: We have Pyramid studs in triangle and square shapes. These studs are raised and give a 3D effect. Combined with other stones or round studs this could be a good multi-decoratation effect.
Hot Fix Glitters: You may know about glitter printing. It sparkles and shines like stars. But the high setup fee for printing may be preventative. Sew & Sew provides Glitter Transfers! You can combine with stones as well for more unique applications.
Hot Fix Sequins: The normal sequins we know are usually the sew-on ones, and we can do that decoration as well. But not everyone has the embroidery equipment to do that. Any solution? YES. Our hot fix sequins have glue on the back and can be applied by heat press like patches or transfers. The hot fix sequins are threaded in lines, so it is good for simple lettering , designs that are outlined or filled in a regular shapes. Sequins with Glitter and Stones are awesome logos!
