Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry is a term which may apply to a wide range of accessories. This is due to the word "costume" having many applications. For instance, it may be used to refer to the clothing of a particular people, class or period. It can also refer to the clothing used to make a person resemble a particular character or type of character.

The quality of costume jewelry will vary according to the particular application of its wear. Sometimes people are interested in creating the most authentic costume for a time period or character concept available. Under these circumstances they may wish to invest in high quality jewels and accessories.

Costume jewelry may also be desired for temporary applications. For instance, someone may wish to dress up for a single party or occasion. Under these circumstances there is generally no need for a particular necklace or bracelet to be built to last. Also, people often do not care that they pass for real. To simply give the idea of the item it is meant to represent is often good enough, given that others know you are meant to be in costume.
