fashion jewelry

Fashion Jewelry, also known as "Costume Jewelry", represents a wide category of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and pendants, and other fashion accessories that were made of lesser value materials than traditional jewelry like gold, silver or diamonds.

The manufacture of fashion jewelry uses inexpensive materials such as rhinestones, pewter, nickel, brass, crystals, cubic ziorconia or CZs, acrylic, plastic, wood as well as semi-precious stones. In many cases, high end fashion jewelry can contain sterling silver or be plated with gold, rhodium, or silver.
