What is Fashion jewelry? Fashion jewelry also called Costume jewelry has been part of our culture for almost 300 years. When we look back into history we can see that during 1700s jewelry made of glass was produced and that by the 1800s costume jewelry made of semi precious material came into the market. Fashion is frivolous, ever changing and jewelry is its complement. Used as an accessory or worn daily maybe as a keepsake, costume jewelry is always in fashion and offered in a variety of materials. Less expensive than fine jewelry which is more regarded as investment, fashion jewelry is fun, ever changing and affordable. Originally created from inexpensive resources such as simulated gemstones, nickel and pewter, modern costume jewelry is offered in an assortment of materials from simulated diamonds, semi-precious stones, gold and silver. Available to all, this type of jewelry has also become a collectible as they may also represent carefully executed replicas of admired and spectacular heirloom pieces. Fashion jewelry was further made popular in the mid twentieth century by such designers as Dior, Chanel, Monet, and Napier to name a few. Coco Chanel greatly popularized the use of fashion jewelry as a designer by creating pieces in gold and faux pearls. Always in style and in demand, fashion jewelry is easily found in a variety of online stores such as right here at Fleur de Lis Fashions.com which specializes in the Fleur de Lis designs and where style and elegance can be found at affordable prices.
