Are you talking about "rhinestone appliques"?
This type of item? http://www.gloryshouse.com/category_106/Rhinestones-Appliques.htm "Rhinestone embellishment" gets you things like this: http://www.gloryshouse.com/category_185/Rhinestone-Embellishments.htm If that's the ballpark you're looking for, try also "bridal appliques" and/or "bridal trims". Everything shiny is either bridal or dance! Good luck!

I don't want individual sew-on rhinestones. The closest I can come to what I want is vintage rhinestone jewelery - something that looks a little like a tiara only in necklace form. I've actually been looking at vintage jewelry for something I can take apart, but so far all I've found is too small and/or much too dark unless I start looking at the really expensive pieces. (multiple hundreds!) Modern formal dresses often have a fake buckle or something resembling a brooch sewn on the bodice front or back, etc. What do you call these pieces? Having a few more search terms to use might improve my google-fu.
