Costume jewellery is best described as jewellery made from non-precious materials such as metals, glass, wire, resin etc. Jewellery made from precious materials and stones such and gold or diamonds are known as fine jewellery. Costume jewellery is intended to accessorise an outfit cheaply and easily and when it is outdated, a new tem can be purchased easily, as oppose to fine jewellery which requires a more heavy investment. Costume Jewellery is also confused with fashion jewellery a lot of the time but are in fact different. Fashion jewellery will follow the current fashion trends such as big stone rings or large beaded chains and has a shorter lifespan then costume jewellery. Here at BeFlirty Jewellery you can find both costume and fashion jewellery, from evening jewellery which covers a lot of costume jewellery, to Mikey Jewellery which falls more into fashion jewellery.
