Studs are an obvious means of decoration being a natural part of the jean alongside pocket rivets and button fly.
From there it is a simple one step to the stud becoming a rhinestone.
We can have the most fun creating patterns using only shiny studs in different colours. Rhinestone studs in combination with ripping and shredding techniques creates a jean which travels with ease from day to party.
Studs and sequins combine with embroidery adding a different dimension of colour and form to simple studding.

Ultra bling in rhinestone studs in this customised Levi trucker jacket. Better with the coarse 3x1 twill as an indigo base than something more elegant = attraction of opposites.
