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."

Rhodium was used as a novelty in the early 1920's to demonstrate its chrome-like brightness to prospective customers by the plating trade. Commercially, rhodium's presence grew quickly by the mid-1930's.
