Rhinestones
At ERVY, we use rhinestones to embellish gymnastics leotards, unitards (also known as full bodysuits), rhythmic gymnastics dresses, and other gymnastics and competition attire. Rhinestones catch the light and reflect it back, making gymnastics clothing adorned with rhinestones appear enchanting and sparkling.
Some rhinestone history
One of the first convincing imitations of diamonds was developed by the Alsatian chemist and jeweler Georg Friedrich Strass (French: Georges Frédéric Strass). Thanks to his success, he was allowed to call himself the king’s jeweler since 1734. The term “pierres de strass” (stones from Strass) became popular in the German-speaking world and the abbreviation “Strass” became a synonym for diamond imitations. [Source: Wikipedia]
In English, crystals are also referred to as “rhinestones”, because the crystals cut by Strass came from the Rhine Valley. [Source: Wikipedia]

Did you know?
We use so-called hotfix rhinestones when manufacturing our gymnastics leotards. These crystals are coated with a glue that is activated at high temperatures. The application method of rhinestones can either be through heat transfer or ultrasonic welding.
Despite all care in the production and quality control of our gymnastics apparel, rhinestones can loose their fixation with the textile. In such case, we will send you single stones for replacement or take care of the repair in our workshop.
