Find the Right Vintage Rhinestone Jewelry for Your Jewelry Box

Thanks to its affordability, vintage rhinestone jewelry can be part of anyone’s collection, adding sophisticated elegance or glitz — or both.

Rhinestones have defined glamour since as far back as the 13th century, when Austrian jewelers first incorporated the sparkling quartz unique to the Rhine river (hence the name) into their designs, adding brilliance and luminescence to everything from tiaras to necklaces to rings. With their high lead content, the original Rhine stones had a diamond-like quality so alluring to the wealthy that the river was eventually depleted, leaving jewelers searching for an alternative.

Enter Alsatian jeweler Georg Friedrich Strass, who in the late 18th century began coating glass with a metal powder to refract the light (in many European languages, rhinestones are called strass). Some 50 years later, Bohemian glass blowers went even further: They found that by varying the metal backings, they could transform these glass “stones” into replicas of virtually any gem, including rubies, emeralds, morganites, sapphires and colored diamonds.

But it was legendary Bohemian gem cutter Daniel Swarovski who, nearly a half-century later, elevated rhinestones to their best and brightest, creating coated glass-crystal gems that are almost indistinguishable from diamonds. He also invented the electric cutting machine, which allowed rhinestones to be manufactured not only in the smallest, pinpoint sizes but also as cabochons.

Since then, designers have produced effects with rhinestones that would be nearly impossible with precious gems — effects that have been appreciated as much by jewelry lovers like Elizabeth Taylor, Madeline Albright and Queen Sophia of Spain as by fashion designers like Christian Dior, Givenchy, Yves St. Laurent and Coco Chanel, who loved costume jewels but couldn’t resist designing with diamonds.

To avoid damaging your rhinestone jewelry, store it carefully. Piling pieces on top of each other can scratch the metal backings or, worse, the glass itself. Clean the jewels gently with mild baby soap and water using a toothbrush or soft cloth, advises Ciner’s Kris Ciulla, adding, “If the craftsmanship and materials were worthy from the beginning, they can last forever.”

Questions About Rhinestone Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Whether old rhinestones are worth anything varies. Loose rhinestones generally aren't worth much on their own, as they tend to be made of glass, acrylic and other materials that don't have intrinsic value. However, rhinestones set in vintage or antique jewelry may be worth something. The maker, age, type, style and condition of rhinestones will all contribute to their potential value. For an expert opinion on how much yours may be worth, consult a certified appraiser or experienced jewelry dealer. Shop a large collection of antique and vintage jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    No, rhinestone jewelry is not real in terms of its gemstones, as rhinestones do not occur naturally. Instead, manufacturers produce them from crystal, glass, acrylic and other materials. However, rhinestone jewelry may still feature genuine precious metal or metal plating. Explore a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify vintage rhinestone jewelry, look at the back, clasp and other inconspicuous areas in search of a maker's mark. By definition, vintage jewelry is between 20 and 99 years old, so you'll need a rough idea of when the maker produced your item to determine if it is vintage. You can begin the dating process by researching the maker using trusted online resources and looking at images of its pieces from over the years. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can help you with the process. Shop a large collection of vintage costume jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, some rhinestone jewelry is valuable. Vintage rhinestones, those not made in mass production, are of higher quality and tend to be worth more than other costume jewelry made today.
