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 necklace and earring sets can be worn on just about any occasion, whether it’s your own wedding day, someone else’s wedding day, a special evening out or for your birthday celebration.

We have recently introduced a new costume jewellery necklace and earring set called Crystal Beauty Necklace and Earring set. This comes in two more colours, pink and champagne. Made from acrylic stones and Cubic Zirconia crystals, this set can really add extra glamour to any outfit. And because the colours are very demure it really is a very elegant set. The acrylic stones earrings make sure that the earrings are not too heavy (as would be the case with Swarovski stoned earrings) and therefore are great for those of you who cannot tolerate heavy earrings. The necklace can fit on any neck size as it is adjustable with a lobster clasp at the back.

Try pairing it up with a gorgeous cocktail ring or bracelet to really stand out on you special occasion.

Credit Crunch - what should you do?

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!

The tremendous cost of weddings

A recent survey showed that the average cost of weddings is rising and that a wedding can now cost anywhere between £16,000 for a standard wedding to £150,000! This cost includes all expenses such as the honeymoon, the venue, catering and the wedding bands. However the cost allocated to make the bride look amazing is £1700 and this includes hair, makeup and all the gorgeous jewellery that is to adorn the beautiful bride.

But not all of us can afford to spend so much on our accessories alone, that’s why costume jewellery is such a great alternative, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets and hair accessories. So why compromise looking your absolute best on the most important day of your life by skimping on your gorgeous jewellery for the big day and go for style and quality

How else do you think you can keep the cost of a wedding down? Comment on this article below.

Celebrity Jewellery

Celebrities are nearly always covered in diamonds, gold and platinum when they have a special occasion, and some even with just a pair of jeans! However, we can’t all afford the hundreds of thousands of pounds they spend, that’s why we have websites like ours! 

So for example at the Oscars in 2008, there was great prominence on red gowns with black closely following as a must have colour. But all outfits where accessorised with diamonds, and mostly as hair accessories and brooches. Large bracelets and cocktail rings always make an appearance on such occasions, but these can also be worn casually too.

So you can see that diamonds don’t have to be expensive, as you can have the next best thing, Swarovski crystal encrusted jewellery, that looks as fabulous as the jewellery that the stars wear.
