rhinestone
Imitation diamond material
A rhinestone is a small piece of glass or crystal cut to imitate a diamond, used in costume jewelry and decorative clothing.
The name comes from the Rhine River, where rock crystals were originally gathered.
Rhinestones suggest flashy, inexpensive glamour: a rhinestone-studded jacket, rhinestone cowboy.
