Costume jewelry is jewelry that is made of less valuable materials, including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones, in place of more valuable materials such as precious metals and gems. These items are usually, but not always, inexpensive, and often flashy. Costume jewelry is mainly used for fashion purposes, opposed to "real" (precious) jewelry which may exist primary as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments. It can also be called “Fashion Jewelry.”
The term costume jewelry dates back to the early part of the 20th century when the word “costume” was used in reference to one's outfit. In today’s lexicon, the words “outfit” or “garment” have replaced the word “costume” in reference to the fashion mode. A common description of the fashion during this period would read, “Handsome street costume of maroon brown velvet….” Thus the jewelry worn with everyday fashion (costumes) grew to be known as “costume jewelry.”
