About Rhinestone Costume Jewelry

Rhinestones were often used in costume jewelry to imitate diamonds. Made of rock crystal, acrylic, or leaded glass, rhinestones became widely available in the late 18th century when Georg Friedrich Strauss decided to imitate diamonds by coating glass with metal powder. Today, rhinestones are used on everything from rings to brooches, and even on some clothing.
