Rhinestones are imitation gemstones made from glass, crystal, or acrylic, designed to resemble real diamonds. They were named after the Rhine River in Germany, where early versions were made from rock crystal. Rhinestones come in various colors and cuts, and are often used in jewelry, clothing, and accessories to add sparkle and glamour. Popularized in fashion, they gained notoriety in the mid-20th century, especially in the costumes of performers like Elvis Presley.
