THE BENEFITS OF COSTUME JEWELRY
In today’s world, everyone wants to appear stylish and modern, yet there’s something to be said for also wanting to look different than other people. With emphasis frequently placed upon having the latest designer clothes, handbags, and even makeup, jewelry can be a fun respite from all of the expectations.
Yes, real jewelry is understandably expensive and can represent a valuable asset for people looking to make lifetime investments; however, when it comes to simply making a statement or having some creative fun with your look, costume jewelry can have a lot of wonderful advantages.
1.) PRICE—When buying any type of jewelry, it’s no surprise that price is generally considered the main factor. Therefore, one of the biggest selling points of costume jewelry is its affordability. Plain and simple, would you rather spend your hard-earned money on one necklace, or would you prefer to spend it on several necklaces…two bracelets…and three pairs of earrings?

Along the same line of thinking, if jewelry is affordable, then you can have the freedom to experiment with it as you like—buy different themes, colors, and styles, etc.!
2.) VARIETY—With the aforementioned freedom to experiment, comes variety. While real jewelry may be beautiful, it’s comprised of precious stones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires which don’t always leave much room for variation. On the other hand, costume jewelry—which is usually composed of cubic zirconia, rhinestone, synthetic crystals, or glass—can be produced in every color imaginable.

3.) VERSATILITY—Another great advantage of costume jewelry is that it can be worn to a variety of occasions such as parties, formal dinners, weddings, and nightclubs. If you’re looking to make a statement, it can be used as a creative anchor piece; however, if you’re attending a laidback event, it can help you downplay otherwise dressy attire.
In the end, creating an interesting look doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money. While it’s no secret that people tend to adore real jewelry, there’s no shame in purchasing costume pieces—it’ll not only save you money, but it will keep you looking fabulous at any occasion.
