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, non-profits, dance studios, tennis events, concert artists, pageants, brands and other events. Custom work includes Ringling Bros Circus tees, Willie Nelson concert tees, Malibu and Tige Boats Hats and Visors, Snowflake (SaaS) DKNY black blazers in jet hematite black stones, Miss America Pageant Contestant custom jackets, ZOYA Nail Polish shirts worn at fashion shows (Hello Nail Taxi!) and tees and tanks for many wives and girlfriends of professional athletes.
Our early customers include 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. I have over 1,000 orders on Etsy and over 500 orders off-etsy with 5-star ratings and not a single complaint on Etsy.
