What are alternative names for artificial diamonds?In: Idioms and Slang |
[Edit] |
Artificial Diamonds
Rhinestones take their name from the river Rhine in Europe, where they were first discovered in the river. Today it usually means any inexpensive transparent stone. They are usually used in very inexpensive baubles. The clear ones are sometimes used in place of diamonds, although these have been replaced by Cubic Zirconia in recent years.
Cubic Zirconia is a specific type of manufactured stone that is supposed to look like a diamond. Some of them are very cheap and unrealistic looking, while others can be quite expensive and very well made.
