Abstract
Applying a rhinestone facial display, and display at other locations on the person and on clothing using a transfer rod which transports the rhinestone held by a static electricity charge to an adhesive previously deposited at the display site and which rod is then backed off, which results in the rhinestone remaining because the adhesive attachment is greater than the hold of the static electricity charge.
