I buy mine from Rhinestone Supply http://www.rhinestonesupply.com/

I second what fsk8r said about stones falling off. I use E6000 and haven't had a problem with stones falling off, though I do lose the odd one once in a while.

If these stones come off on the ice are they a hazard to skaters? If you do lose a stone is mostly during washing the outfit?

I got mine from www.dreamtimecreations.com :)

E6000 is amazing. As long as you put enough glue on, your stones should stay.

I've only lost stones putting on a dress - none that I am aware of while skating or washing.

I got my stones at the hot fix queen (online).  They were great - really sparkly.  However, I wouldn't stone myself again.  Too time consuming and, well, boring.  I paid to have my other dress done and I don't regret it one bit.  But if you're more patient than I am, go for it.

I got mine at fire mountain gems. They don't have all colors, but they had what I needed. And it was the best price I could find. I'm going to go pice check the others again - I'll be ordering about 6 gross soon.
