Findings and Components > Rhinestones > Czech Rhinestone Trim

Originally crafted from rock crystal found on the Rhine River, rhinestones are now crafted primarily from leaded glass crystal. The crystal is most often faceted and backed with a metallic foil to imitate the fiery radiance of diamonds. Most of the world's crystals and rhinestones are manufactured in either Austria (Swarovski®) or the Czech Republic (Preciosa®). We offer a huge selection of Czech rhinestone balls by Jablonex®, the world's foremost manufacturer of glass beads. These rhinestone encrusted balls look phenomenal combined with Swarovsk® crystal headpins and sterling silver earring hooks as the focal piece of a matching earring set! We also carry tons of flat backed rhinestones such as Preciosa® MC Chaton Rose or Rosemonte sew on rhinestones by Jablonex®. Also be sure to check out our Swarovski® Xillion Hot Fix crystals!
