Popularity Of Fashion Jewellery

There has been a big increase in the sale of fashion-jewellery in today's world. Gorgeous necklaces, earrings, pins, bracelets made with crystals, gemstones and rhinestones etc. all fall under fashion jewellery. There are plenty of varieties to choose from that would match with your outfit for any special occasion keeping in mind about the latest trends.

Fashion jewellery are also sometimes addressed as costume jewellery. In 1930s the jewellery was introduced in the market and because of its inexpensive range it created a huge demand specially in the middle class society. People at that time used to wear this kind of jewellery with a particular dress for a special occasion and discarded the jewellery when it wasn't needed any more.

Presently costume jewellery is still maintaining the popularity because of its antique look. Though in the ancient time the jewellery was inexpensive but today the antique jewellery is sold in hundred and thousand of dollars. These are available in all the local jewellery shops. You can also get the option to buy jewellery online from any fashion jewellery store.

Before getting an idea about fashion jewellery, check out the four basic categories of jewellery :
  • Costume jewellery (Made up of base metals coated with silver, gold or rhodium, and adorned with glass crystals and rhinestones)
  • Bridge jewellery (Made with semi precious gemstones, sometimes highlighted with expensive gemstones too)
  • Fine jewellery ( Consists of precious and expensive stones of emeralds, rubies, diamonds in settings of gold, platinum or silver.
  • Fashion jewellery (These are contemporary costume jewellery and not antique) 
Fashion or costume jewellery is now and then made up of base metals as opposed to valuable metals and plated with gold, silver or rhodium to give the piece a bridge jewellery or fine jewellery appearance. Although a person may have only some bridge or fine jewellery, someone may even have a collection of fashion jewellery for almost every outfit.

Fashion jewellery follows the latest trend and style and that increases its popularity even more. Having an inexpensive collection of fashion jewellery in your wardrobe will make you follow the latest fashion trends. Fashion jewellery is also very popular as brides-maid gift because of its low price and unique design. You could also gift a fashion jewellery to a teen aged girl as a birthday gift!

Although fashion jewellery doesn't offer a heirloom piece, most of them are manufactured keeping in mind the present fashion trend. Thus this jewellery continues to maintain its popularity amongst the present generations.
