Some imitation pearls (also called shell pearls) are made of mother-of-pearl, coral, or conch shell, while others are made from glass and are coated with a solution containing fish scales called essence d'Orient. ● Rhinestones are often times referred to as paste, strass, or diamente. A rhinestone is a man-made imitation of a cut and polished gemstone. Centuries ago, quartz pebbles with a high lead content were found sparkling on the banks of Europe's Rhine River. These beautiful, natural stones were highly coveted and were eventually depleted, inspiring jewelers to create an imitation, aptly named the "rhinestone."
