Is a rhinestone a diamond?

Many people may not know clearly, today let’s take a detailed look at rhinestones.

Rhinestones are short for crystal diamonds, in fact, neither natural crystal nor natural diamond, but imitation diamond meaning many times, the commercial term “crystal” does not refer to natural crystal, but refers to a special type of bright glass used in artificial jewelry.

For example, the crystal is actually lead glass (artificial glass with lead), because of the metallic lead, the color is especially beautiful.

If you go to the geological and mineral testing center, the results issued are synthetic glass.

The SELLING point of Swarovski and Austrian crystal is the craft and design, if only in terms of composition, they are synthetic glass.

Still HAVE, LIKE USUAL SEE SOME OF THOSE WHO WRITE CRYSTAL GOBLET, JUST REPRESENT THE GLASS WITH BETTER QUALITY, NOT SAY GOBLET IS CRYSTAL TO DO.

Rhinestones come in several common materials, including glass, artificial crystal, topaz, zircon, synthetic cubic zirconia, etc., and are specially used in low and middle grade ornaments.

According to the origin, there are Austrian drill (Austria), Czech drill, Korean drill, domestic A drill, domestic B drill commonly known as.

Swarovski crystal belongs to the best rhinestones, because the cut is excellent, more bright.

Czech diamonds retain their luster for up to three years.

The color of rhinestones is different, and the luster will vary greatly, but all in all, no matter what kind of rhinestones, compared with real diamonds, there is a big difference.

Rhinestones have at most a dozen facets, and rhinestones do not have the fire color of diamonds.

So are rhinestones broken?

Of course not.

A broken diamond is a diamond of less than 10 cents (0.1 carat). The diamond is not broken, but has small particles. A broken diamond of more than 1 cents is also a complete diamond with 57 facets.

Broken diamond because small, the price is not expensive, but for the group inlaying dense inlaying, all need high multiple microscope artificial inlaying, the process cost is not low, so broken diamond group inlaying jewelry price is naturally not low.

Broken diamonds are only used for jewelry inlay, not as much as rhinestones are used in jewelry, shoes and bags.

It is often said that small diamonds are worthless.

Well, it’s relative.

Single small pieces of diamond, of course, not the price is high, but a lot of jewelry inlaid, use dozens, hundreds or even thousands of stars, take medium quality about 20 yuan a, a pendant if the amount is 300, the cost of the light is set auger is around six thousand, counting on the gold consumption and operating costs, thousands of cost is common.

If you add some small broken or shaped drill with a slightly larger fraction, the cost will increase a lot.

These are the wholesale market prices of original ecological products, not counting the added value of brand and design.

If it is a big brand product, there is no way to consider it in this way.

As with Swarovski, the workmanship and design cost more than the raw materials themselves.

In short, rhinestones are used in jewelry and broken diamonds are used in jewelry.
