Costume jewelry

Costume or fashion jewelry includes a wide range of decorative items worn for personal adornment that are manufactured as less expensive ornamentation to complement a particular fashionable outfit or garment as opposed to "real" (fine) jewelry, which is more costly and which may be regarded primarily as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments. From the outset, costume jewelry—also known as fashion jewelry—paralleled the styles of its more precious fine counterparts.
