A lot of our customers are very interested in costume and fashion jewellery yet they do not entirely know what the difference is between fashion jewellery and costume jewellery so we thought we’d write a little blog on this.

Costume jewellery is defined as jewelry that is made from inexpensive metals and imitation or semiprecious stones. Costume jewelry is not made from gold, silver, cultured pearls. However Swarovski Crystal jewlery is classed as costume jewelry. Fashion jewellery on the other hand is jewellery that is following a current trend. That is, what trends have been passed from the catwalks to the high street.

Whatever you decide to wear cocktail rings, crystal bracelets or crystal earrings when it comes to fashion and costume jewellery, wear it with style, and wear what feels comfortable on you and you are sure to dazzle all around you!

Indian Costume Jewellery

Costume jewellery comes in many different sizes, shapes, colours and styles, but they all are as beautiful as the next piece. Indian costume jewellery is no different, except there are certain costume jewellery pieces that are worn like a hair accessory that can be worn that dangles from the top of your head onto your forehead and is called a hair tikka. This gorgeous piece of hair jewellery is normally worn on very special occasions like your wedding day or if you are a bridesmaid at a wedding.

As far as Asian fashion jewellery goes the bigger the better! And also the more colourful the better. Indian costume jewellery is fabulous to wear on any occasion but on an Indian wedding day costume jewellery can’t be any more fabulous!
