Pros and Cons of Fashion Jewelry

Fashion jewelry has made it easier to access pretty trinkets we can use with our outfits. However, are they worth our money? Jewelry and accessories are perhaps some of the things we will never ignore when it comes to making sure we look beautiful and fashionable. Our fashion ensembles seem incomplete without our various trinkets and accessories. Thank technology and innovation for allowing us to enjoy these little fashion delights. 

Did you know there was a time when jewelry and accessories were only accessible to wealthy and prominent people? The gemstones cost a fortune, and the metals are expensive. Only those in the upper society can flaunt their sparkly, shimmering jewelry. The jewelry price has peaked so high that it came to the point that jewelry pieces are used to determine a person's social and financial standing in society. As time passed, those with talents in crafting jewels created imitation jewelry. This jewelry comes with cheaper materials and much lower prices. 

These synthetic trinkets were called costume jewelry. After a while, people began to flock to the costume jewelry industry. Even now, we have to admit that we benefit greatly from this genius innovation that aims to help us women achieve our best looks without slashing a lot from our bank accounts. However, is it truly wise to invest in fashion jewelry? We break down some of the Pros and Cons of buying fashion jewelry to help you understand and decide if they are worth it.

We often look at red carpet appearances of our favorite movie and music stars and drool over their beautiful jewelry pieces. We stand in awe at how they look so elegant with their jewelry choices. Of course, we can't afford their jewelry, which costs thousands of dollars. Fortunately, there is a cheaper alternative. If you want to look fashionable without risking most of your money from your bank account, go for fashion jewelry. Some fashion jewelry looks so many likelikeentic ones without bearish price. You can choose from crystals to pearls to gemstones. This ability to look flashy is one of my favorite fashion jewelry pros; I can be as sassy with my jewelry choices without worrying about the costs.

Admit it, ladies. If only someone could tap us on the shoulders and say, "Of course, we are going to give you all the jewelry you want," that would be very good, right?

This one is probably the most tested and proven fashion jewelry benefit. I should give my most enormous thanks to fashion jewelry makers. My, it saved me trillions of times now. Whenever I want to go to a lavish party, I'd easily find affordable but still stunning fashion jewelry. If I want to come to a night out and look as chic as possible, I will grab some of the costume jewelry I like. Imitation jewelry has been so much of my wardrobe that I don't mind shelling out a few bucks for these babies. Last time I went to a legit jewelry store because I needed some bling for a Christmas party. I got heartbroken when I saw the price. I couldn't afford to spend on something I would wear for a night. So, I resorted to fashion jewelry, and I was never disappointed. Whoever said the red carpets are only for expensive trinkets? You flaunt those fashion jewelry, girl.

I always dream of owning a wardrobe full of fun jewelry and accessories. However, that dream seems unattainable for a person who is still broke. It is sometimes too hard to find a couple of dollars for some fancy stacked bracelets. I'm always grateful for the presence of costume jewelry. It made life easy for a fashion lover like I am. I can now have multiple bracelets available if I ever get into the layering mood. I can have a ton of my necklace on my neck if I want to channel a bohemian princess. I can have fun with fashion jewelry because they are both charming and affordable. If you are looking for ready-to-wear, inexpensive jewelry that you can mix and match, fashion jewelry is what you should go for! Now, this is a tempting pro, right?

Let's be honest here. Fashion jewelry's pros and cons include the wrong side too. Sometimes, the fashion jewelry we love can make us look cheap, not because their designs are affordable, but because some mixes and matches of materials and techniques don't do it. Think of that candy-colored necklace you wore when you were 14. Or that turquoise and gold ring that doesn't do the trick. If we're not careful, this imitation can make us look cheap than sophisticated. The next time you choose a piece of fashion jewelry, choose the basics. Don't use bold colors if you don't want a disaster to follow you. Keep it cool and coordinated when you opt for fashion jewelry. Still follow the basic rules on looking classy to avoid looking cheap.

I know I'm not the only that has had an experience like this. We put on our lovely jewelry, enjoy the day, and when it's time to take it off, we see an ugly green mark stamped on our skin. Where, oh, where did the pattern come from? Well, jewelry is not always made with pure metals considering pure metals can be very malleable. To avoid bending, jewelry makers add a different metal to gold or silver. Mostly, the metals would be nickel or copper, which, when combined with our skin's acidity, can create a chemical reaction that leaves a green mark on our skin. Costume jewelry tends to have this chemical reaction because metal purity in this jewelry is lower, and nickel and copper are commonly used. This is probably one of the easiest disadvantages of wearing costume jewelry.

Regarding the durability test, we admit that costume jewelry isn't always in the passing rate. One of the most significant disadvantages of purchasing fashion jewelry is its tendency to break easily. Some of those who bought fashion jewelry found their items broken even before they could try it. If not broken at delivery, it will soon break after being worn only a few times. This is because fashion jewelry is made of cheap materials, so its durability cannot always be trusted or built to last. You can still love this gorgeous yet very vulnerable imitation jewelry if you can keep up with the never-ending repairs for your jewelry.

If you are thinking of purchasing something that your future generations can inherit, you should cast fashion jewelry aside. We all know they can't deliver a service to us for that long. One of the disadvantages of costume jewelry that I detest is it fades fast. I have such acidic skin, and gold fashion jewelry doesn't last long with me.

Well, I got what I paid for. They are beautiful, but they are not the ones you should go for if you want a piece of timeless, durable jewelry. I would still go for the authentic ones in the name of money's worth. Fashion jewelry pieces are a blessing to fashion and beauty, but it is also hard to deny that they can be risky investments. Take time to weigh the pros and cons of fashion jewelry before indulging.
