Fashion Jewelry: Be A Trendsetter
Ostentatious ornaments can be worn during marriage ceremonies but at other times, they tend to look very out-of-place. Fashion jewelry is a worthy substitute for the real thing, especially since online sources have brought out the celebrity-inspired range. These jewelry pieces are comparatively cheap, but only in terms of price and not taste.
Evolution of Fashion Jewelry
Fashion or costume jewelry has been used by people for more than 300 years. Plastic and glass costume jewelry dates back to the 1700s. In the mid-1800s, in conjunction with the rise of the middle class, there was growth of a new jewelry industry. Semi-precious stones, such as amethyst, coral and pearls, and gemstones, including emeralds and sapphires, set on gold, silver and other metals were in circulation.
In the early 1900s, silver was the preferred color for jewelry. Therefore, platinum, white gold or silver bases rose in popularity. By World War II, gold became popular. Now, in the early 21st century, silver and platinum are a rage once again. However, pure silver is malleable and real platinum is extremely expensive.
To counter the flaws in precious metals, the fashion industry has come up with sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy containing a large proportion of silver and smaller portions of other metals. It emulates the look of platinum and is tougher and more stable than silver.
Fashion Jewelry: Popular Styles
Celebrity outfits and accessories have been imitated by the fashion-conscious public since time immemorial. Some of the popular fashion jewelry styles include:
Twisted wave earrings: Sported by Penelope Cruz, this piece of art is sure to make the wearer feel like a star. The earrings are made of solid silver and studded with cubic zirconia (CZ).
Oval pendant: Emulate Paris Hilton’s style statement and heighten your glamour quotient with three oval sterling silver rings, embellished with CZ, made into a pendant.
Multi-colored gemstone bracelet: Beyonce, the dance diva, had once dazzled a photo shoot with her beautiful bracelet stacked with colorful gemstones, perfectly complementing her satin dress. This same piece is now available in sterling silver.
Fine jewelry ring: Supermodel Heidi Klum had once sported multiple, oversized silver rings. The media did not forget it for a very long time. You too can become a style icon with the same rings made of sterling silver and CZ.
