Rhinestone Studio Inc. is a custom rhinestone apparel maker and marketer selling on Etsy.com.
Cathy created the concept and eCommerce website for Rhinestone Studio in 2004 in her basement office in Canton, Michigan, when there were only three online sellers of bling apparel online; eCommerce was just beginning to take off. Rhinestonestudio.com eCommerce was created with Logic Solutions in Ann Arbor, Michigan, well before Shopify, before Woo, before anything...
Rhinestone Studio's website morphed over the years and today I sell on Etsy exclusively. We create a lot of hats and visors, and we also produce rhinestone shirts, jackets and more for tennis teams, schools, dance studios, tennis teams, concert artists, pageants, brands and events. Custom work includes Ringling Bros Circus, Willie Nelson concerts, Miss America Pageant Contestants, ZOYA Nail Polish and many wives and girlfriends of professional athletes. One of our early customers was the Cherry Store in Traverse City, Michigan and Ringling Bros Circus. Rhinestone Studio raised money for Florida Hurricane victims and for breast cancer fundraising through my charity donation giving programs. Bling goes in and out, but for dance teams and pageants, it's always in.
What started out as a project for 9pm to midnight on weeknights has become a lifetime of creativity and meeting interesting people, and being part of communities, and raising money for causes... and creating smiles on girls' and womens' faces. The rhinestone client photos I receive are so meaningful and precious to me. "Get Rhinestoned with Rhinestone Studio!" on Etsy.
