A Rhinestone for All Occasions: Swarovski 2028
- by
Are you into rhinestones? The Swarovski 2028 is available in bulk quantities, in “gross” lots – that is, a hundred and forty-four pieces. It’s flatback, which means it’s meant to be applied to just about anything, typically articles of clothing.
While rhinestones can sometimes almost rival the very diamonds they’re supposed to subsitute for, the Swarovski 2028 is definitely affordable, produced as they are for the mass market, for industrial purposes. Of course, individual people can and do use them for such crafts and hobbies such as scrapbooks and the like, anytime something needs to be decorated in a dazzling sparkling way. But because the 2028 is used mainly by industry, they are sure to be inexpensive and eminently affordable for the quality.
After all, it’s not just the 2028 – it’s the Swarovski 2028, a rhinestone bearing the Swarovski name, a name that’s been synonymous with fine crystal glass goods for over a century. Founded by Daniel Swarovski, the company was successful almost right from the beginning. It has been beloved ever since, so much so that even today the firm is able to profitably run a crystal-themed indoor theme park in its hometown of Wattens, in the Tyrol region of Austria, near world-famous Innsbruck. Known as Swarovski Kristallwelten, German for “Swarovski Crystal Worlds,” this theme park is notable for featuring a grass-covered head out front with water spilling out of its mouth.
Too much kitsch? Well, rhinestones have become something of a low-brow alternative to the real thing, yes. They were originally quite fancy, very upscale, but perhaps thanks to a parade of country and pop music stars the rhinestone now is almost synonymous with show biz, using of the night club kind!
But none of this matters if you’re really into rhinestones. So go get your Number 2028 16ss or 3.9-4mm Crystal AB diamond simulant from Swarovski today!
