Costume jewelry

Costume jewelry is jewelry that is made of less valuable materials, including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones, in place of more valuable materials such as precious metals and gems. These items are usually, but not always, inexpensive, and often flashy. Costume jewelry is mainly used for fashion purposes, opposed to "real" (precious) jewelery which may exist primary as collectables, keepsakes, or investments.

Costume jewelry gets its name from its use in stage costumes. See fashion jewelry

Costume jewelry can vary from vintage rhinestone sets to the latest fashions such as hair accessories and body jewelry with imitation stones.

Coco Chanel greatly popularized the use of faux jewelry in her years as a fashion designer, bringing costume jewelry to life with gold and faux pearls.

Pennino Brothers Jewelry is one rare, but well-known brand of costume jewelry.

Fashion Jewelry (British: Fashion Jewellery), once known as "paste" - named after the theatrical jewels that were "pasted" onto costumes - and later as "Costume jewelry" because of its theatrical roots - by the 1960s the term was coined to represent a wide category of earrings, bracelets, pendants, rings and other similar accessories that were made of lesser value materials than traditional or "real" jewelry like gold, silver or diamonds.

While at one time the manufacture of fashion jewelry included the use of inexpensive glass components - most notably rhinestones, or a manmade material known as "lucite" - all set in a base metal of pewter, nickel or brass, today the category also includes high end crystals, simulated gemstones, CZs or cubic zirconia simulated diamonds, and lab created gemstones as well as some semi-precious stones and sometimes wood. Metals include gold-over-brass, silver-over-brass, and sometimes gold-over-silver (known as vermeil), as well as sterling silver. In lower priced fashion jewelry you may still find gold plating over pewter, nickel or assorted other metals, and sometimes fashion jewelry imported from countries outside the United States may contain lead. Some less expensive fashion jewelry can also contain components made of plastic or acrylic.

In many instances, high end fashion jewelry has achieved a "collectible" status, meaning it increases in value as time goes on. The secondary market for "vintage" fashion jewelry can be quite lucrative, making it a good investment as well as a trendy way to update your wardrobe.
