Mounting and Setting for Rhinestones and Jewels
Mounts are used when decorating garments that will be dry cleaned, when applying large jewels that glues do not support well, or where mirrors do not have finished edges (rim mounts). They are made of metal.
Mounts are very popular with the Show Horse and Country Western sets, Ice Skating costumes where loss of stones is dangerous (on ice), or where a specific 'look' is required. Great for costumes that take a beating.
If setting nailheads and jewels/ crystal rhinestones, consider rim sets or Tiffany mounts. Use when mounting rhinestones/jewels to leather (you will have to pre-punch leg holes in thicker leathers).
We carry stock of tiffany and rim settings to complement the rhinestones and flat back jewels we carry in stock. Each type of mount, tiffany or rim, has its uses and creates a different look. To learn more about each type visit the related page.
