what is the difference between aurora borealis and crystal stones in rhinestone jewelry.?

I have an old clear rhinestone necklace signed “Sherman” on the back. The stones are clear and look like crystal. They are set in what looks to be rhodium plating. Any info appreciated.

aurora borealis or AB is a coating used to make clear crystal have the shine similar to pearls
