WIRE: sometimes called "shepherd's hooks" or "fishhooks," earwires are a thin, hook-shaped earring backs. They thread onto the ear and can sometimes be squeezed into place or held on with a rubber clutch.

SIMULATED QUARTZ: Simulated quartz is an artificial stone made to imitate real quartz. Sometimes known as "faux quartz," it does not actually hold any of the physical properties of quartz, as it could be made from acrylic, plastic, or resin. Simulated quartz is very affordable and comes in a spectrum of transparent to opaque hues.

RHINESTONE: An imitation gemstone created from glass, acrylic, or rock crystal quartz. Rhinestones are typically faceted and foiled on the underside to create different colors. Originally, a "rhinestone" was a crystal found in the Rhine River, which is where it gets its name.
