History: Origins. 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 History of Swarovski. In 1895, Daniel Swarovski founded the Swarovski company with one goal in mind: to create a diamond for everyone.

1956: Daniel Swarovski's grandson, Manfred, introduces the Aurora Borealis: an iridescent coating applied to crystal rhinestones that produces a rainbow effect

History of Brass Jewelry: Brass has been used in jewelry making for centuries, with its origins dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Romans. In ancient times, brass was prized for its resemblance to gold and its durability.
