Brilliant Rhinestones
Home ]

 

      Fabulous rhinestone jewelry:  This is the stuff that started the costume jewelry rage.  At the beginning of the 20th century the European and American financial economy was dreadful and people who could buy "real" jewelry were few.  Along came the rhinestones and as the big-time designers were starving, the use of glass and plastic was born.

Because the really big names didn't want to be associated with "junk" jewelry,  no one would admit to being involved.  But as the craze caught on and people loved their rhinestones; the more outrageous the better, the race was on!

Trifari, Boucher, Mazer, etc., designed and manufactured jewelry that now is 80 years old and STILL looks real.

These pages contain clear rhinestone pieces  that have  a bit of  an attitude.
