Remember this!
Sequin and rhinestone are both decorative elements used to add sparkle and shine to clothing or accessories. However, the difference between sequin and rhinestone lies in their material, shape, texture, application, and cost. Sequins are typically flat and disk-shaped, made of plastic or metal, and used to create patterns or designs on fabric. Rhinestones, on the other hand, are three-dimensional and faceted, made of glass or crystal, and often used as standalone accents due to their higher cost and quality.
