I am just now looking into using rhinestones, and am wondering which stones are the best for the value? I dont want to shell out the dough for Swarovski's just yet, so what is a NICE alternative?

Korean or DMC rhinestones. DMC rhinetones are made to imitate Swarovski rhinestones.

just buy Chinese stones from shine art. you will have to email them for their price list but they are the most affordable around.

Does anyone use or know the quality of Preciosa stones? They're supposed to be comparable to Swarovski.

Korean from Shineart.

Swarovski is the best quality stone, and Preciosa stones is next to it. Preciosa with 8~10 facets.

If you cloth are not in high line market, Korean stone is enough, it's most cost-effective.
