Description

Sequins are also referred to as paillettes, spangles , or diamanté (also spelled ‘diamante’). Although the words sequins, paillettes and spangles can be used interchangeably, diamanté (literally ‘set with diamonds’) is both an adjective and a plural-only noun, which specifically refers to diamond-shaped sequins and can also be used to mean ‘artificial diamonds’, which serve the same purpose as sequins.
