Okay, so we made up the word "rhinestonology" because we wanted you to know that while all rhinestones look cool on a t-shirt, not all rhinestones are alike. Here's the skinny on the three different types of rhinestones we use in our designs:  
  Genuine Swarovski® Rhinestone Crystals - Made in Austria since 1895, Swarovski crystals sparkle like crazy and are the best rhinestones money can buy. Nothing compares for brilliance, clarity and quality. You'll pay a little more for a Swarovski rhinestone design, but there's nothing better than the real thing when you want a truly special t-shirt.  
  Rhinestone Crystals - For a rhinestone look that sparkles at a more moderate price, our non-branded rhinestone crystals do the trick. These are quality rhinestones ... just a little easier on your pocketbook than Swarovski crystals.  
  Rhinestuds - Rhinestuds aren't technically rhinestones at all ... they're tiny metal circles cut to look like rhinestones. There's no crystal in a rhinestud, but the shape and surface shines! Rhinestud designs still sparkle, but they don't refract light. They are the least expensive option we offer, which makes them especially popular for our toddler and youth designs.  
  For retailers and groups placing custom or wholesale orders, we'll work with you to select the rhinestone and price point you prefer.
