What is strasses jewelry?
In a distant country of France, where poets were singing sonnets
to beautiful women, a Jeweler George Frederick Strass created an
idea of covering a faceted glass with a special metal powder.
There was nothing special about covering glass with metal, but..
this special covering was creating an unusual, rainbow-like
effect on glass, which made it look just like diamonds!
Can you imagine wearing glass that looks like a diamond. That
has the same rainbow effect, but it costs 10 times less? It
blows my mind actually. Diamonds at half price -okay, I can
imagine this, but ten times cheaper? Unbeliveable!
Are
there any valid reasons to wear glass instead of geniuine
diamond? Of course - first of all it may be unacceptable to wear
real diamonds in daylight. You might be worried about your
security. The wheater may be against you - for example - you can
be on beach, where real diamonds aren't acceptabel. Yet the
rhinestone jewelry is not expensive at all and you can wear a
lot of it. Some of it can even be attached directly to your
body.
Rhinestones, put simply, are glasses with
faceted top and a very thin foil at the very bottom
