Originally rhinestones in the 13th century were recognized as Czechoslovakian or Bohemian glass in Bohemia and the Czech Republic. During 1918 the antique and vintage glass was no longer considered a functional item and instead it started to make its appearance in jewelry. Soon after its popularity started spreading, the glass started gaining various names and rhinestone was one of them. Rhinestones, to begin with, were never natural gemstones; they were handmade with the help of highly refined glass. The process of creating this antique and vintage glass is not easy, and it is first brought into various desirable shades with the help of numerous metals.
After that, it is pressed into molds. Finally, the stone is polished, and is used in making various jewelry, and kept in auction for sale. One of the most amazing items created with rhinestones is bracelets. During the Victorian period, some of the popular themes for making bracelets were bracelets shaped in snakes and flowers. However, the 1890s was a time where ladies preferred bracelets that were heavily decorated with precious gemstone.
As time moved the designs of bracelets started to change as well. Soon after the rhinestone bracelets started becoming more popular because of their elegance, and fashionable charm.
