<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2644170, member: 36"]Sometimes. Sometimes rhinestones do too. Occasionally you'll find a semi-precious stone glued into a setting, but generally the setting is silver. Some 60s costume pieces had semi-precious bits glued into a costume setting, but it's not common now. Better rhinestone jewelry often uses a prong setting, and sometimes a bezel set. Usually the more securely a stone is mounted, the higher quality the jewelry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
