Thursday challege -Imitation Jwellery.

Today due to the subject of Thursday challenge, I got opportunity to share some photos of some of my jwellery collection (Off course Imitation jewellry / costume jwellery) which I wear occasionally on Festivals.
  
Some information on Costume jwellery (Courtesy- Link to Wikipedia)
Costume jewellrytrinketsfashion jewelryjunk jewelryfake jewelry, or fallalery is jewellry manufactured as ornamentation to complement a particular fashionable costume or garment as opposed to "real" (fine) jewelry which may be regarded primarily as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments.
Costume jewelry has been part of culture for almost 300 years. During the 18th century, jewelers began making pieces with inexpensive glass. In the 19th century, costume jewelry made of semi-precious material came into the market. Jewels made of semi-precious material were more affordable, and this affordability gave common people the chance to own costume jewellry. Modern costume jewelry incorporates a wide range of materials. High end crystalscubic zirconia simulated diamonds, and some semi-precious stones are used in place of precious stones. Metals include gold- or silver-plated brass, and sometimes vermeil or sterling silver. Lower-priced jewelry may still use gold plating over pewter, nickel or other metals; items made in countries outside the United States may contain lead. Some pieces incorporate plasticacrylicleather or wood.
