The Excitement in Costume Jewelry

By Jessica Page


Your sense of style and the amount of money in your pocket can be greatly defined by the type of jewelry that you are wearing. It may usually have all those gemstones and metals but when we talk about costume jewelry, it's a beautiful reminder of those golden times.

Those Huge Costume Jewelries

Costume jewelry entered the world of fashion when World War II began and metals used to be so scarce. Their designs were so great that they were often mistaken as more than the replicas of those authentic jewelries. When the 20th century took place, machines also took over the creation of these jewelries. The vision of money in this industry has truly captured the interest of different jewelry makers all over the world. In order for you to be called "fashionable" at that point in time, you need to have a couple of the said manufactured items.

Aluminum and lacquer were the new materials that came into light during the nineties. Hollywood became the source that jewelers must follow in creating their jewelries from the said materials. It also provided a place for costume jewelry at that point in history. When people entered the sixties and the seventies, elegance was still not one of the greatest features of costume jewelry. It lacked a lot of metal and a few of them used to be so sparkly and bright. Years went by and it was time for the eighties to shine but still those cheap looking jewelries haven't changed a bit. They still look nothing like their originals and the fad of really huge gemstones didn't make the transition easier.

Safety First

Nowadays, any criminal and insurance provider would grab the opportunity to take your authentic jewelries from you. Actually, you can go with jewelries that has a touch of sliver or gold and a little of those precious stones. These items are more sensible to be brought at any type of occasion. Besides, a luxurious set of jewelry would imply that you have to be on guard at all times or you can hire an actual security agent to do that for you.

Because of the fact that most jewelries are made by man, they can come in all shapes and hues. Plus, you can use synthetic gems for more versatility. The color of the gem would all depend on your sense of style and your personal budget.

Your jewelry can be part of the costume that reveals your character or allows you to put on a new character for a few hours. And that's what makes costume jewelry so much fun.
