A lot of women and young girls simply adore jewellery and love to receive it as presents. Here is a basic guide for buying costume jewellery.
We have all seen the dollar store trinkets that more resemble something a child would want to wear. These are very cheap and usually made of plastic or cheap metal and clearly fake. No jewel thief would ever make the mistake of stealing these items. As matter of fact, most children could tell you that they are costume jewellery, especially if they have seen a lot of good jewellery.
Next you have the stuff that might look real from a distance but will still probably turn your skin orange or green. Gifts like this fall under the category of it's the though that counts and sweet. This is not something you should try to pass off as real especially with a girlfriend. This is a gift well suited to a teenager who may only where it a few times anyway.
Some costume jewellery may actually look quite real and cost almost as much as the genuine article. This is usually gold plated and includes semi precious stones. Some may be silver. I don't think it is worth the price you will likely pay for it. Of course that may all depend on why you are buying it to begin with. If it is for a gift them it may fool some until they take it to be appraised and then it could be quite a shock.
Costume jewellery comes in all shapes, sizes, and prices. To me it is not worth several hundred dollars just to keep up appearances however I have no doubt that many would disagree with me. I personally think most women would be more appreciative of the genuine article even if it is a smaller piece than what you can buy for the same amount in costume jewellery. There are some exceptions to this rule however.
Of course there are other reasons to buy costume jewellery. One reason is in case it is stolen or to prevent it form being stolen. Most people who are looking for an easy buck won't both much with costume jewellery unless they think it is real because there really isn't any money to be made with it. Another reason is if you are afraid of losing it. If you fear losing it then you may want to go with the slightly cheaper costume jewellery to save a bit of money if it needs to be replaced. Of course some people may just want the jewellery for show which is fine as well.
You can find costume jewellery in abundance on EBay or in any discount store. Wal-mart has some nice pieces that don't cost a whole lot. Of course there are many sites on the internet that sell costume jewellery as well, including some that sell if specifically for things like weddings and proms.
What ever your reason for wanting to buy costume jewellery and no matter the price range you are sure to find something to fit your needs. For the simple to the extravagant costume jewellery is available just about anywhere. - 30544
