Hi Lauren, The jewels at Jan's (which I'd never heard of) and at Shipwreck Beads (which I had) are just what I've been looking for. The Preciosa Rhinestones are relatively new and, although I'd seen them in the catalog, I didn't realize they were singles. I thought they were looped together in a chain. I'm SO excited! Thank you!
