Imitation Jewelry and the Great Advantages of using Imitations: It is very nice to have real gold and silver jewelry pieces but they do have their limitations. They can attract thieves either into your home in the form of burglars or while wearing them. In fact, it would definitely be preferable if going on holiday to leave your gold and silver jewelry at home otherwise you may find that you may be robbed on holiday and return without your favorite pieces.
For these reasons it is good to wear only a couple of pieces of real jewelry at a time and if you have more, keep them where they are safest. Do not in any circumstances take them along on holidays or you could find yourself robbed off them before you blink an eye. Enhance your jewels by buying some beautiful imitation (called paste or costume) jewelry. You will not be found yearning for them after they have been lost or been stolen and nowadays it is possible to accessorize your wardrobe with exquisite paste jewelry.
Have you ever tried selling a gold ring? If not, give it a try. You may find that it has devalued with the present economy and perhaps you will not be able to get what it is worth. On the other hand if you have antique jewelry which has been in the family for years having been handed down through generations, you want to preserve those in a safe and even your own real jewelry to hand down to your own children and grandchildren.
Imitation pearls look beautiful and no one need know that they are not a strand of real pearls. Imitation pearls have the advantage that they come in every hue and shade and certainly enhance any items of clothing you wear with your pearls. With imitation jewelry, be sure to match earrings to necklaces and stick to either imitation (plated) gold or imitation silver rings and bracelets.
There are wonderful imitation jewelry shops at most shopping malls. When you purchase from their vast array, ensure you do not buy too cheaply. The last thing you want is for your paste jewels to fall to pieces the first time you wear them. Ensure that they are well-made and durable and that you get value for your money. You may want to purchase your fake jewelry from home franchises through catalog books on order and over the Internet. Most of these pieces are truly exquisite and affordable. Whereas you would only be able to afford one real item of jewelry, with this type you are able to afford several beautiful pieces. They are made to a high standard and are long-lasting too.
Find them over the Internet too and order them from pictures. Compare prices and select the best items affordable. There is no need to collect expensive jewelry from jewelry shops these days. With the economy the way it is now it is fashionable to be thrifty! If you are about to get engaged, ask for a zircon instead of a diamond (replace it later with a real diamond when the economy bounces back!). Only a jewelry will be able to tell the difference and you do not need to feel ashamed but proud of yourself for saving money which can be put to better uses.
Even precious and semi-precious stones can be copied into costume jewelry. They will not last forever but their colors will be beautiful and brilliant enough through their carefully crafted faceting that you may find yourself selecting several pieces in bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings or ankle chains.
You will be able to change your imitation jewelry as often as you change your clothing which means every day at the office you can look different and draw admiring glances. Just ensure that you purchase the best imitation jewelry you can, that is the golden rule. And enjoy your pieces while they last which may be a lot longer than you ever imagined!
