Looking Glass Gems started in 2015 from a need to provide high-quality, affordable rhinestones for creative design. Owner Lillian and her husband Jaye are both actors, performers and artists who work with rhinestones every day. As she makes all her own costuming, Lillian could no longer afford to empty her wallet on Swarovski crystals. The two noticed their colleagues also couldn’t find a reliable source for high quality sparkle that wouldn’t break the bank. Jaye knew it was time to become that reliable source as a team and Looking Glass Gems was born!

We are based in Las Vegas Nevada, world capital of sparkle! We ship worldwide and have wholesale pricing available. With over 20 years experience, extensive design training and a keen eye for color and detail; we are available for custom crystal embellishment services!

We work diligently with our exclusive and boutique family-owned manufacturer to provide the best quality sparkle for any budget. We are a fantastic replacement for Swarovski and Preciosa. Our prices are roughly half those of Swarovski and 20-30% less expensive than Preciosa, but we dare you to spot the difference in the brilliance of our sparkle!

We are passionate about art and artists. We are also activists who are seeking ways to bring equity to every space we occupy! In that spirit, we have created our Black Joy Sparkles initiative. Art and creative outlets are powerhouses during times of change and resistance, reminding us of our constant ability to find joy and grow resilience in this world. Black artists are essential and we are working with generous donors to get supplies in their hands to create with!
