Rhinestone Machine

Rhinestone Cuts

Machine Cut rhinestones are the most brilliant. Made of glass crystal, they are cut and polished so that the edges are sharp and crisp, making them sparkle. Swarovski rhinestones, produced in Austria, are the most valuable and prized. Think of how a cut diamond looks.
Table Polished stones have just the top facet, or "table" of the rhinestone polished. They won't have the sparkle of machine cut rhinestones.
Fire Polished rhinestones are molded glass stones that are polished using heat, vibration or a combination of both. They are often brightly colored, but do not sparkle like the machine cut nor do they have the sharp finished edges.
