Originally, the name rhinestones come from pieces of crystal found in Austria's Rhine River. Bulk rhinestones were originally cut and finished by hand. In the 1800s, Daniel Swarovski created a glass-cutting machine that cut faceted glass, which produced a crystal far superior to hand-cut crystal.The availability was greatly increased when around 1775 the Alsatian jeweller Georg Friedrich Strass had the idea to imitate diamonds by coating the lower side of glass with metal powder. Therefore, bulk rhinestones are called Strass in numerous European languages.bulk rhinestones could be used as imitations of diamonds, and some manufacturers even manage to reproduce the glittering effect real diamonds have in the sun.In 1955, the aurora Borealis or Aqua aura, a thin, vacuum-sputtered metallic coating applied to crystal stones to produce an opalescent effect, was introduced. Halo Borealis has a tendency to reflect whatever color is worn near it, and it is named after the aurora Borealis atmospheric phenomenon, AKA the northerly Lights.
