Comments: These crystals are foiled back so the brooch should never be immersed into liquid. The foil gives the crystals its beautiful color, therefore care should be taken not to scratch the foil off of the crystal. 

History: Centuries ago, quartz pebbles with a high lead content were found sparkling on the banks of Europe's Rhine River. These beautiful, natural stones were highly coveted and were eventually depleted, inspiring jewelers to create an imitation, aptly named the "rhinestone."
