Jewelry can be very expensive to buy on a regular basis.
Of course if a husband, relative or friend wants to buy a special and unique gift for someone they love and care about on a special and unique occasion it is understandable why they prefer to buy real genuine gold, silver or diamond jewelry.
But fashion jewelry is also a great way to look sharp and constantly feel fresh when stepping out of the house.
But there are things you should be careful of when choosing costume jewelry.
Make sure it is a quality item that will not break the first time you wear it.
Sometimes heavier pieces of jewelry are better quality, but make sure to try it on to be sure it is not too heavy around your neck, wrist or earlobes.
Also, make sure that your skin can handle wearing fashion jewelry.
Some people develop really bad reaction to specific types of costume jewelry.
If you know you have this problem, ask the sales associate working in the store that you are about to purchase the jewelry from if you will be allowed to return or exchange it for something else.
If you wear it and your skin seems to be doing fine, then go ahead and enjoy it! There are many wonderful advantages to wearing costume jewelry.
First, because costume jewelry is so affordable, you can treat yourself to a different piece or set of jewelry to match each outfit.
This way you don't get bored wearing the same jewelry over and over again.
Another great thing about costume jewelry is that you don't have to be nervous the whole time while you are wearing that you will lose it or break it.
Worst comes to worst if you lose or break your piece of costume jewelry it can be easy and inexpensive to replace.
But if you lose your piece of real genuine gold silver or diamond jewelry, on the other hand, you can be in big trouble.
There are some people that put their engagement ring in a safe and buy an identical ring in costume jewelry because they are too nervous to wear it.
Most of the time people can't even tell the difference between real diamonds or fashion diamonds, and between costume silver, genuine silver, and white gold.
People also have a hard time telling the difference between imitation and real pearls.
The only thing that sometimes might be a bit obvious that is not genuine is gold.
But in any event, who really cares if people know you are wearing costume jewelry.
Fashion jewelry got it's name for a reason.
Fashion jewelry is supposed to make you look fashionable and in style.
So don't be worried if people will be able to notice that you are wearing costume jewelry.
As long as you look and feel put together and sharp wearing it, the go ahead.
