BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Fashion Jewelry Do you like rhinestone jewelry?

Tell me what you think about the use of rhinestones in jewelry!

Saundra, my business partner, has collected rhinestones for years! It's quite a stunning collection. Most are crystal/crystal AB, but she does have many colored rhinestones too, of course. I wonder why people think of them as "cheap". I guess I never saw them as any type of replacement or "fake" diamonds, but as pretty jewelry designs in their own right! Yes, different, no, not any luxe precious gem, but capable of creating lovely jewelry pieces. Teri Baskett

Rhinestone Jewelry is pure glamour! Beautiful sparkling jewelry makes a woman feel beautiful and sexy. No other jewelry except for diamonds sparkles and grabs the eye like Rhinestone Jewelry. Unless you are an Arab Sheik and can afford Harry Winston, then rhinestone jewelry is the way to go. It's affordable and..it is the perfect jewelry for any formal event

Hey Glamour Goddess!
Thanks for the post!!

I couldn't agree more!

In one word.... yum : )

You know me, I'm a stone and metal snob...no rhinestones in my jewelry box. lol

Everything has its place. I don't see anything wrong with having rhinestones...it can be a fun piece to wear. The only thing I don't like about most pieces is that they are so tacky and most out there are made cheaply and look it.

Hey Rdywenur!

Don't forget to look for vintage pieces!! I agree about many of the current suppliers of rhinestone pieces....most are tacky. Vintage pieces, on the other hand, are wonderful works designed by some of the most talented designers of their hayday!!

Best,
