One of the more popular looks over the past few years has been rhinestone jewelry. Rhinestone jewelry, made from clear or colored quartz, is a great alternative to expensive gemstone jewelry for the holidays. It's bright and sparkly – a sure attention grabber.

Defining Rhinestone Jewelry

Rhinestone jewelry is made by gluing the rock crystal to foil which in turn is placed in a setting. The metal part of rhinestone jewelry is non-precious, made from either gold or silver colored base metals.

Hallmarking Rhinestone Jewelry Hallmarks are unique symbols placed on a bracelet/necklace clasp or tag or inside a ring identifying the jewelry maker, date the jewelry was made and other related information. Having a hallmark doesn't guarantee the jewelry is authentic or not having a hallmark means it's a fake. Additionally, the jewelry designer may have forgotten to affix a hallmark it or may have made pieces they didn't see the need to mark.

Caring for Rhinestone Jewelry
Over the years, caused by the deterioration of the glue holding the rhinestone to the foil, rhinestone jewelry made with clear rock crystal may start to be yellow. As the cause of the yellow cast is underneath the rhinestone, it is impossible to remove by surface cleaning the jewelry. The only alternative is to have a jeweler replace the rhinestone – a simple process.
