Friday, 13. November 2009
A lot of women and young girls simply adore jewellery and love to receive it as presents. Here is a basic guide for buying costume jewellery.
If it is simple trinkets you are looking for then these can be found in any dollar store or at any swap meet. These tend to be extremely cheap and made of very thin cheap gold or even plastic. They have no designer names or anything else and this costume jewellery falls under the category of fashion jewellery and is made more for young teens and small girls than grown women.
You have some that may look real but is still very cheap. It is usually painted with gold color paint and may cause severe allergic reactions in some people. At the very least it may well turn your skin to a nice shade of green or any other number of colors. As a gift it is really only well suited for a friend or a teenager who may lose it or only wear it a few times anyway. If given as a gift I would be up front about it being costume jewellery.
Some costume jewellery may actually look quite real and cost almost as much as the genuine article. This is usually gold plated and includes semi precious stones. Some may be silver. I don’t think it is worth the price you will likely pay for it. Of course that may all depend on why you are buying it to begin with. If it is for a gift them it may fool some until they take it to be appraised and then it could be quite a shock.
Costume jewellery comes in a variety of prices and sizes. Some may simply not be worth the money you will pay when you can get a smaller piece that is the genuine article for about the same price. There are of course some valid reasons to buy the cheaper costume jewellery.
Of course there are other reasons to buy costume jewellery. One reason is in case it is stolen or to prevent it form being stolen. Most people who are looking for an easy buck won’t both much with costume jewellery unless they think it is real because there really isn’t any money to be made with it. Another reason is if you are afraid of losing it. If you fear losing it then you may want to go with the slightly cheaper costume jewellery to save a bit of money if it needs to be replaced. Of course some people may just want the jewellery for show which is fine as well.
