Those vintage rhinestone jewelries look classy and elegant
and are intended to give you that diamond studded look. They come in exciting
shades and give away that sparkled look every time light falls on them. They
are not only economic, but fashionable as well.
Rhinestones are crystal stones that were originally sifted
from the Rhine River in Austria and after the Second World War, they became as
popular as diamonds. With the gradual progress of time, original rhinestones
were replaced by glass rhinestones and the latter have a wide variety to offer.
They are hand crafted, prong set and polished. The glitter helps in determining
the quality, and the craftsmanship is often reflected in a piece of vintage
jewelry.
There are a lot of names given to different types of
rhinestone jewelries. Art Noveau jewelry originated in Paris, and was quite in
vogue between the years 1890 to 1910. The Art Deco jewelry was a lady’s
favorite accessory between 1925 to 1940. Using rhinestones in dress clips and
fur clips were also a trend during that era.
Aurora Borealis was unique in its own way. These types of
rhinestone jewelries, popular in the 1950s and 1960s were given an iridescent
coating that produced rainbow colors. There are myriad designs when it comes to
rhinestone accessories and they look very pretty when beheld. The Alice Jewelry
Company of Rhode Island produced some beautiful rhinestone pieces that came
with Alice’s hallmark.
Miriam Haskell’s jewelries contained clusters of beads,
rhinestones and artificial pearls that are quite sought after these days. Weiss
in New York City uses the best quality rhinestones in their jewelry, and the
prices are exorbitantly high. Many people these days love wearing parures- a
set of matching rhinestone bracelets, earrings, necklace and brooch.
