The name rhinestone comes from the discovery of crystals that were gathered from the Rhine River. Rhinestones are mass produced until 18th century when the founder of Swarovski, Daniel Swarovski, invented machine for cutting and faceting crystal stones.

The style of riviere diamond necklaces and bracelets we know today became popular after the 1871 discovery of the Kimberley Mine in South Africa when diamonds flowed into the western market. ... Great Britain's Queen Mary had a 100-carat collet-set diamond rivière that was made around 1900 and epitomized the style.
