Costume jewellery can come in so many different styles, shapes and colours, but when considering a fine piece of costume jewellery quality is of utmost importance. For example, when buying cocktail rings, there are many out there that you can be for £10.00 or less but these are guaranteed to break or stones fall out of them within a couple of weeks of you wearing the product! That is why the House of Jewel’s costume jewellery is generally of such high quality. In addition, we have bought in an extra exquisite range of costume jewellery called the Anjouxxx Collection.

This exclusive range of costume jewellery is designed with Cameron Diaz & Catherine Zeta-Jones in mind. Its style is opulent and of the highest quality. The costume jewellery is hand crafted, many from sterling silver, and contains glass crystals, Swarovski crystals or Austrian Crystals. The elegant and dazzling designs compliment the use of these stones, and is the type of costume jewellery you can pass onto a loved one.

The prices for this range can be expected to be at a premium due to the additional attributes provided, but we are sure that it is worth it!  This range is exclusive to our website only, designed exclusively by Shefaly (now a registered trade mark), and named after someone special in her life.

The Anjouxxx collection costume jewellery was initially made as Asian bridal jewellery or English wedding jewellery. However, this type of costume jewellery is also fabulous as evening wear for parties, especially costume jewellery for Christmas parties or balls and even proms! They can also be matched up with so many other types of costume jewellery like cocktail rings or bracelets that are available. So even though you may be paying a premium for this collection of costume jewellery, you can wear it so many times that the cost becomes minute in relation to the wears you can get out of it!

(Please note that Anjouxxx collection cocktail rings are not adjustable to fit and require a large, medium or small ring size to be stated at checkout).

 This range has without a doubt made a movement of a new trend!

Costume jewellery is causing to be a real hit amongst designers including the confrontational designer Alexander McQueen. A recent article in the Independent suggests that costume jewellery “McQueen never slavishly follows trends - he is among a mere handful of designers in the world who are ahead of the game where that is concerned - it is worth noting the presence of more than a little costume jewellery in this collection, a new departure for him. And in this he was certainly not alone.”

However, many other individuals are also writing about this trend including the Suzy Menkes who writes about costume jewellery replacing hand bags as this seasons must have accessory when talking about Balenciaga’s autumn/winter show. Nicolas Ghesquiere, Balenciaga’s designer, dressed his models in gorgeous bracelets, large necklaces made of sparkling crystals and brilliantly large cocktail ring.

The writer of the article in the independent goes on to consider other huge designer brands showcasing large costume jewellery pieces on their catwalks including Louis Vuitton and Lanvin, and not to forget Chanel. In fact Coco Chanel was apparently the first to sell costume jewellery with the Chanel brand to her very rich clientele.

Most fashion houses now sell costume jewellery as part of their huge accessories range, including handbags and shoes, as a way of allowing their clients to afford pieces of jewellery that do not cost an arm and a leg!

McQueen ends by saying that costume jewellery astounding and individual. Check out Shefaly’s range here.

Swarovski crystal is made from an electric cutting machine that produces crystal glass jewellery in Austria. This machine was founded and patented by Daniel Swarovski in 1895.

This type of crystal is more expensive than glass as it has a higher density and purity. That is why the costume jewellery that contains this fabulous superior quality cut and polished crystal is more expensive than costume jewellery that is made from acrylic, Austrian Crystals or Cubic Zircon or Glass crystals.

So when considering purchasing bridal jewellery or costume jewellery you really should consider whether it is Swarovski Crystal Costume Jewellery. Costume jewellery that contains Swarovski Crystal really will have the most sparkle and allure than any other piece of bridal jewellery or costume jewellery. In addition it will also be a piece that you will look at in the future and still be timeless as Swarovski crystal will never go out of fashion.

All we ever hear about right now is the credit crunch, high employment rates and house prices falling. It has been a very depressing week, what with one of the top banks in the USA, Lehman Brothers, filing for bankruptcy and AIG insurance group needing a helping hand from the US Government. All this however is not scaring off costume jewellery buyers for small to medium (and even large!) retailers, and you too should not be worried as there are ways in which you can make costume jewellery work for you.

Costume jewellery in general is not expensive, and if it is it rarely exceeds £150-£200. So if you are considering a change of look for the coming season, save some money and don’t update your wardrobe with loads of new clothes, instead buy key pieces and update your daily look with costume jewellery pieces.

The House of Jewels suggests buying lace blouses, cropped cardigans, tailored trousers and gorgeous platform pumps. These can be updated to change your look with statement cocktail rings, large chunky necklaces and gorgeous statement bracelets. All this will mean that you don’t have to break the bank to look fashionable all winter long!
