They can be used as PAGEANT CRYSTALS on dresses, the tiny stones can be used on dolls, a craft that is becoming very popular. The possibilities are endless! SWAROVSKI STONES are CRYSTAL, they are highly expensive and many colors are hard to come by and this lot has many packages that were marked "SPECIAL" which means they didn't make very many of them. Some of the stones in this lot are no longer being made, this lot contains a number of these rare colors as well as current colors being used by Swarovski today. There are rounds, emerald cut, baguettes, ovals, marquise cut (Naïvetés). The lot is almost all pointed backs, faceted and most have gold or silver foil backs.
There are some NO FOILS and a few Flat Backs as well. ALL ARE MADE IN AUSTRIA. The largest stone is about 12 mm and the sizes range from that down to tiny. To purchase a Rhinestone Assortment like this, "package by package" to have each size, shape and color would cost a great deal if bought one package at a time! I think you will be pleased with this big lot, it is the perfect "First Aid/Repair Kit" for Rhinestone jewelry of all kinds! A "Must Have" for everyone that loves beautiful jewelry and jewels! You will find uses for these little gems in brooches, necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, pins, rhinestone jewelry of all kinds!
Lots vary in color, none are exactly the same.
