Note: The history of crystal jewelry spans millennia ancient civilizations for adornment ,spiritual purposes, and healing. From ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Greece, Rome, and beyond, crystals have been valued for their beauty, perceived mystical properties, and connection to spirituality. 

Originally, rhinestones were rock crystals gathered from the river Rhine, hence the name, although some were also found in areas like the Alps (the source of the Rhine). Today the name "rhinestone" applies only to varieties of lead glass known as crystal glass.

The term "sterling silver" probably originated in eastern Germany when five towns formed the Hanseatic League in the 1100s. These town minted their own coins of 92.5 percent silver. When Britain sold cattle and grain to the League, they were paid in "Easterling coins".

Palladium plated jewelry refers to jewelry made with base metal like silver that is coated with a thin layer of palladium. Palladium is a precious metal known for its natural white color, resistance to tarnish, and hypoallergenic properties. This plating process gives the jewelry a bright, silvery-white appearance similar to platinum or white gold, but at a potentially more affordable price point.
