Costume jewelry, or fashion jewelry, a term preferred by Coco Chanel, is everyday jewelry. Typically, it is jewelry that makes a fashion statement. Made of materials generally less expensive than high-end fine jewelry, fashion jewelry uses high quality simulated stones, semi-precious stones, glass, crystals, fresh water pearls, shells, rhinestones, silver and gold plated metals, pewter, copper, even aluminum. It may also include some sterling silver and some gold filled components. Vintage fashion jewelry has a hint of prestige, a timelessness that makes it a consistent favorite. Handcrafted jewelry pieces are usually one of a kind, making a fashion statement which is truly unique.
