stones!

I do like me some stones (especially if you’re talking crystals) but I’m one of these people where more is more, so I generally have beads, sequins and stones all together, especially if it’s for costuming. Embellishing needs to look great from a distance and yet offer a whole new level when viewed up close. I think you need all three to do that!
