Fashion Jewellery For Her
by Patty Buttonweiser
Fashion jewellery is all about accessorizing a look that you create with your style of dress. If you’re wearing something Bohemian looking then chances are you’d want to complete the look with Bohemian looking jewelry that matches what you’re wearing. A lot of this type of jewelry is made from semi precious materials like chalcedony and metal wire. You can visit the wholesale fashion jewellery district in your area where you can probably pick up some beads of assorted materials and wire with some tools to get you started on making your own jewelry.
Fashion costume jewellery is really what people mean when they refer to fashion jewelry. Costume jewelry implies the use of plastics and simulated material instead of genuine inexpensive stones like chalcedony and quartz. Many fashion brands have their own lines of costume jewelry that sells for anywhere between $5 and up for basic pendants, rings, earrings and so on. From companies like Avon the cosmetics giant all the way to new fashion companies like Juicy Couture, costume jewelry has become a big part of their product lineup. Materials such as bronze, pewter and other base metals are used for this jewelry along with embellishments like glass beads from Swarovsky and silver and other metal beads from manufactureres in Italy and China.
On the other end you have gold fashion jewellery which usually means precious and semi precious stones mounted in gold rather than base metals and glass beads. This type of jewelry will obviously run into the hundreds of dollars because of the high price of gold today. The fashion staple in gold would be your standard pair of gold hoop earrings whether in yellow or white gold. Most women own at least one pair of this type of earring because it a universal fashion accessory that goes with any type of dress whether a woman is going to work or play.
Basic gold hoops used to sell in price points that were $50 to $80. This is no longer the case since the run up in gold prices over the last few years. The same basic hoops today in gold go for $250. Because of this silver fashion jewellery has become the new gold as women now gravitate towards such basics as silver hoops or vermeil hoops as their style requires. With silver they are able to purchase a pair of basic earrings in the $20-$50 range again with more or less a similar look to their gold earrings. Unfortunately, cheap fashion jewellery can no longer include gold in its repertoire of metals since the days of $300 to $500 per ounce gold are long gone.
Of course business has suffered as fashion jewellery wholesalers have struggled to find designs in gold that fit a certain price point and have instead resorted to stocking designs now made from sterling silver and vermeil. Of course, if you design jewelry for a price point out of cheaper metals then you have to use the less expensive gemstones that suit the metals being used. For instance you would not set high quality 15 point white diamonds in silver. But you could set inexpensive 2 point black diamonds in silver and that would make perfect sense. There is a huge selection of this type of inexpensive fashion jewellery online from designer fashion jewellery like Judith Jack to red carpet imitations from emitations dot com. In mens fashion jewellery, silver and alternative metals are more popular now than ever. Designers like David Yurman and Edward Mirell have extensive collections of mens fashion jewelry made from these materials.
