Fashion Costume Jewelry – Following Trends or Setting Your Own

Some fashion costume jewelry follows exactly what it was originally named for: to buy very inexpensive items that can be worn with a specific outfit. These might be eccentric pieces, fashioned in the likeness of a hobby item, animal, insect, or even another fashion piece, like a hat.



Others are more abstract in design and are simply made to sparkle and please the eye. Eclectic pieces that echo vintage period jewelry are also very popular. The tendency to pair a vintage piece of jewelry with modern clothing is a lasting trend. It is also very popular to mix eras when wearing vintage jewelry and clothing.

The best bet for fashion rookies is to choose a classic or simple outfit and embellish it with one outstanding, vintage, or quirky piece of jewelry. This focuses the attention of those you might meet and creates a look that is not chaotic. Keeping your old costume jewelry can prove to be a very lucrative decision.



Even hard plastic Bakelite bracelets from the fifties and sixties have fetched a pretty penny from costume jewelry collectors in recent years.



The best rule of thumb with costume jewelry is to have fun. Choose what you love and wear it. When the trend changes, you get to go shopping again!

Proper Care of Your Jewelry

There are cleaning solutions intended for a wide variety of different pieces and types of jewelry. For example, the cleaning solution that you use for gold jewelry may not be the same as the one that you should use for tarnished silver. If your jewelry features precious stones or semi-precious stones, you may need an entirely different cleaning solution all together. This means that using the right jewelry cleaning solution is integral to keeping all of your jewelry in good shape for the long haul, which is vitally important if you plan to keep it for any length of time.



When you buy a piece of jewelry, do some research on its materials to find out what type of cleaning solution is going to keep it in good shape. Make sure to look into preventative measures to keep from your jewelry becoming dirty in the first place, such as using anti-tarnish strips when storing your silver jewelry. Never forget that using the right jewelry cleaning solution plays an important part of keeping your jewelry in the best possible shape, especially if you want to be able to pass it down to future generations.
