Many Consumers Choose Rhinestone Jewelry

By Amanda Baird


Rhinestones are a type of crystal that is specially cut to be used in various products, including jewelry and other accessories. They are also used to decorate numerous objects and clothing. Rhinestone jewelry can be found in a wide assortment of colors and cuts, similar to diamonds. The clarity of the stones also varies from one to the next.

Gems of this kind are named after the Rhine region, where they were initially manufactured. They are made from crystal that is cut to look like genuine gemstones, but they are not authentic precious stones. Due to their versatility and beauty, manufacturers throughout the world use them to make various types of accessories and jewelry.

The most commonly seen rhinestones are acrylic, Korean, Czech, and Swavorski crystal. The first three are much less expensive than stones made from Swavorski crystal. For this reason, they feature slightly poorer quality, but they still reflect light in a similar way, and are often just as attractive. Jewelry of this type that is extremely cheap may be made from cut glass, rather than crystals. However, this means that they are not authentic rhinestones.

Stones this type typically range from 2.3mm to 11.1mm in diameter. In addition, they are associated with four primary color groups. These are clear crystal, which are obviously used to simulate genuine diamonds, and transparent, which are used as quality imitations for semi precious gems such as emeralds. The third primary color is aurora borealis, which actually reflects all colors, and the fourth combines two or more reflected shades.

Rhinestones are a popular item in the jewelry industry. However, they can also be used to embellish apparel, blankets, or pillows. Some individuals even use the stones to decorate furniture or picture frames.

Pieces made from such stones has become highly popular over the past few years. The wholesale rhinestone market features affordable prices, making such pieces appealing to a variety of merchants. Many other types of fashion jewelry featured an increase in wholesale prices, but items made from rhinestones did not experience this inflation. This may be due to the fact that the manufacturing of such gems is not as expensive as other types of costume pieces. Regardless of the reason, it can only benefit consumers when wholesale prices drop.

Clear rhinestones in silver-toned settings are a favorite among many jewel fans. This is because they offer maximum brilliance, and can be used to great advantage with virtually any type of apparel. However, colored rhinestones have become increasingly popular over the past several years as well. This was largely due to the fact that many celebrities have recently been seen sporting such accessories.

One can shop for such pieces in conventional stores or via the Internet. Regardless of the venue chosen, it is a good idea to compare several pieces prior to finalizing the transaction. Such jewelry is not quite as durable as that made from genuine gemstones, but because of its cost effective price, most consumers do not mind occasionally replacing their rhinestone pieces.

Rhinestone jewelry will likely always remain a favorite among those who enjoy wearing such accessories. This is because they are not only affordable, but are similar in appearance to authentic pieces. Regardless of one's personal taste or budget, such pieces can be found to suit essentially any customer.
