Is rhinestone good quality?
Over time, the market was flooded with poorly-made, cheap, and imitation rhinestones that were often used to decorate clothing and jewelry.
Today, manufacturers should only opt for high-quality rhinestones, such as those by Swarovski, Preciosa, Estella Crystals and Serenity.
How long does rhinestone last?
The answer is that it depends on the quality of the stones you use. Lower-quality rhinestones or rhinestones applied using less-than-ideal glues may discolor and fall off, but high-quality stones should last for as long as the other materials of your craft or garment.
Are rhinestones better than diamonds?
Diamond is a natural substance. It is a colorless crystal of carbon, the hardest substance known to naturally exist.
Rhinestones are not as valuable as diamonds. They are made of artificial materials and are divided into different materials like glass, crystal, and plastic.
