Rhinestones which are also known as diamantes or paste date back as far as the thirteenth century where they were first made from Czechoslovakian or Bohemian hand blown glass. The term rhinestone came along later, when rock crystals were discovered in and around the shores of the river Rhine in Austria.
Crystals are solids that have ions, atoms and molecules arranged in a regular way, which extend in three dimensions. Rhinestones are generally made of crystals but some Rhinestones are made of glass or acrylic. Rrhinestone has a foil or metal backing that reflects light and gives the stone more glitter.
