History: Rhinestones, while now commonly thought of as imitation gemstones, have a history rotted in natural rock crystals found along the Rhine River. These stones, initially collected and cut, inspired the creation of glass-based imitations. Key figures in this development include Georg Friedrich Strass, who pioneered a method for coating glass with metal powder to create the appearance of diamonds, and Daniel Swarovski, who revolutionized production with a cutting machine.
