Artificial jewelry, also known as costume or fashion jewelry, is made from inexpensive materials like glass, plastic, and imitation stones instead of precious metals and gems. Artificial jewelry has a history of over 300 years, becoming popular during the 18th century when talented jewelers created pieces from low-cost materials. The 20th century marked the golden age of artificial jewelry as it became widely admired for its beauty, elegance, and affordable price, occupying the hearts of many women. Artificial jewelry comes in diverse colors and classic designs like chains, earrings, rings, and more, with a focus on bridal collections.
