A lot of our customers are very interested in costume jewelry and fashion jewelry 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 jewelry is defined as jewelry that is made from inexpensive metals and imitation or semiprecious stones. Fashion jewelry on the other hand is jewelry that is following a current trend. This can range from wooden cuff bracelets, beaded necklaces or large statement cocktail rings.
The best example of costume jewellery is what you see on the Shefaly | House of Jewels website. They provide a range of costume jewelry from necklaces, earrings, cocktail rings and bracelets to cufflinks for men and women.
Whatever you decide to wear when it comes to fashion jewelry and costume jewelry, wear it with style, and wear what feels comfortable on you and you are sure to dazzle all around you!

Evening handbags can be a really sexy addition to any outfit and can finish your look off in true style, especially if the colour is matched to your costume jewellery. There are many types of evening handbags and the one you choose really depends on what sort of look you are going for and what type of costume jewellery or wedding jewellery you are wearing.
The perfect evening handbag for a night out to a club or bar would be something that’s quiet demure and not too imposing. So you can wear a pair of jeans and a top and finish the look off with a great black clutch bag or a gorgeous silver handbag
But because evening handbags are so versatile the same hand bag can be worn if you are going to a Christmas party or to a ball. If you decide to wear a little black dress to such an occasion a colourful handbag can really look fabulous, especially if matched to your costume jewellery.
Finally, don’t forget your bridal handbag. For your wedding you would most probably want a white, cream or ivory handbag. Or for the contemporary bride, why not try matching your wedding handbag to your costume jewellery and go for something with colour, like a gold handbag?

The best single piece of advise we can give you is to wipe your precious crystal costume jewellery with a clean, soft damp cloth after wearing.
When your fashion jewelry is not being worn, storage in box is recommended
Simply clean your silver jewellery with a mild soap and water solution. Pat dry with a soft cloth. Like other costume jewellery and fashion jewellery, avoid wearing silver jewelry in chlorinated water.
Keep hairspray and perfume away from your pearl jewellery.
Don’t store pearl jewellery in plastic bags, always store in the box or silk pouch that they should be supplied with.
Always protect your costume jewellery from sharp blows, scratching, and chemicals. Ideally, store your costume jewellery in a soft lined box or pouch.
Never go swimming in your costume jewellery, chlorine in swimming pools can cause damage

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 crystal looks stunning on costume jewelry and bridal jewelry.
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 bridal jewellery or costume jewellery you really should consider whether it is Swarovski Crystal Costume Jewellery. Costume jewelry 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.
