The original 'sequin' was a small Turkish coin that came to be used as a textile decoration and when made/used in Europe were stamped out of sheet gold or silver with no coin embossing. These sequins continue the tradition in precious metals and they have a non-tarnish finish that should last for years. |
Real Metal Paillettes also called Sequins or Spangles |

![]() In the image above, the first sequin or paillette on the left is a #20 (silver) followed by #16 (gold) which is the same size as a #14 (silver), then a #8 (gold) which is the same size as #9 (silver), and on the far right is a #4 (gold). (Also, in reality, they're bright and shiny, not dark like they show here. This real metal stuff just messes with the scanner. I've never been able to get them to come out right....grumblemumble...) | metal | size | approx. pieces per gram | price |
