Rhinestone Crowns Are True Treasures And A Show Of Opulence

By Susan Dawson


There is something quite enchanting about watching the majestic events when a member of the Royal family is crowned. Rhinestone crowns are used in the creation of these crowns and proudly displayed in all their beauty in the crowns worn by many. Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana being two of the most famous women in history to have worn them.

Diamond, rhinestones, crystals and all that glitters are a great attraction for women everywhere. Hours are spent by some men gazing into jewelers windows trying to decide which ring, necklace or bracelet to give to the special woman in his life. For many women the most important ring they want to get is the one placed on their finger when they get engaged.

Most little girls are brought up on fairy tales. The greatest fairy tale being of Princes and Princesses. Mother's, perhaps foolishly, raise daughters with the fairytale fantasy of finding their handsome Prince and wearing a beautiful crown of jewels some day. Not literally of course but these little girls do grow up expecting to find the man of their dreams and all that accompanies it.

It is not always a good idea for a man to choose a ring without her. There is nothing worse for him than seeing a look of disappointment on her face when he presents her with an engagement ring she does not really like. Some women know exactly what they want making life easier for the husband to be.

These days little girls get to see them on TV watching all the classic films. The older girls spend hours watching fashion, make over and modeling shows and many aspire to join the fashion industry. It all looks easy and fun but few of them realize the hours of work, the strict diets and the discipline required to be part of that industry.

Many lives have been lost in the fight to find gold and diamonds throughout the years. Men traveled hundreds of miles in dreadful conditions with ox wagons. Traveling over treacherous terrain with families for months at a time. Many of the children died on the journeys from diseases. Many a mother died during childbirth because there were very few medical supplies and they had to rely on the other women traveling with them to help.

Being able to see the whole process of a lump of rock being turned into a bar of pure gold is so interesting that it will amaze all who see it. The men who work down these mines have a hard life. It gets unbearably hot and stuffy. The noise from the jack hammers they use to penetrate the hard rocks are deafening.

When that gold and diamond ring is placed on her finger the last thing a woman wants to know is what went into the manufacture of what is now her engagement or wedding ring. Whether it is a diamond or sapphire, garnet or pearl most women can't wait to show off to all the symbol of love on her finger. Rhinestone crowns and many other valuable gems are used in the creation of crowns worn throughout history by popes, kings and queens. If you ever get the opportunity to go down a mine, you will truly appreciate what went into the making of these crowns.
