High or Costume Jewelry: Everything You Need to Know
Jewelry turns clothes into an outfit, something you're proud to be seen in. When shopping for new jewelry, you want to know that you're getting your money's worth. You may be shocked to see the price tags attached to some pieces, known as high jewelry. Let's discuss why some pieces are so expensive, as well as a much better alternative.
What Is High Jewelry?
Essentially, high jewelry refers to the most expensive pieces of jewelry available from the big-name houses, like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci. Many of these pieces are one-of-a-kind and cost millions of dollars due to materials, workmanship, and signature. They often include extremely valuable gemstones as distinctive features. When you see a celebrity walking the red carpet wearing an exquisite diamond necklace, this is high jewelry.
What Is Costume Jewelry?
No- it doesn't mean the silly jewelry you wear with your Halloween costume. Essentially, costume jewelry is the pieces you wear to match with an outfit, not fine jewelry or high jewelry. Costume jewelry is also known as fashion jewelry. The term "costume jewelry" dates way back to the early 20th century. It was used to reflect the use of the word costume, which meant outfit in their fashion world.
This kind of jewelry refers to the class of jewelry that is often made with copper or brass, and they also feature simulated stones and crystals. Costume jewelry includes a wide range of jewelry, but only includes the decorative jewelry pieces which are worn for personal adornment. These are not expensive fine jewelry often regarded as an investment.
