Jewellery is an important part in the lifestyle of 21st century people. With the evolution of culture and fashion, the style and design of the jewellery have also developed and modified. They have become much lighter and artistic and the use of materials has also changed a lot.


The birth of the costume jewellery happened with the requirement and the inevitability of some ornaments which are easy to put on and are much comfortable than the fine jewelleries and can be worn for the whole day long. Moreover, the fine jewelleries made of silver, gold or platinum, may not suit everyone. They are expensive too and who doesn’t want to wear something funky but cheaper? The costume jewelleries have satisfied all these demands.


The term ‘costume’ comes from what we call outfit. As the time passed, people demanded of ornaments that can be worn with any kind of attire. This required something cheaper and gradually the metal jewelleries become inferior. Today, most of the people match costume ornaments with the dresses and use the fine jewelleries as an asset.


But the fashion ...
... jewelleries can be divided in various parts according the usage and material used. Some of them are given below-

Metal-plated jewelleries


Some people are obsessed with the concept of gold and silver and they want to wear these metal ornaments only. But gold and silver are quite precious and that is why cannot be obtained often. Moreover, they are considered more as asset and less as mere ornaments and are not so safe to use in every occasion. In this situation, the gold and silver plated jewelleries are the wonderful alternatives which can be used instead of the real ones. They are quite decisive and no one, but the expert can recognize this disguise. These jewelleries are consumed of a thin layer of gold or silver onto the surface of another metal, most often copper and iron. These are the most commonly used ornaments and can be found frequently in the costume jewellery shop in Newcastle.

Kundan jewelleries

This is one of the stylish and traditional ornament type typically made in India in which gold foils or gold or silver plated beads are between the stones and gems and on its mount.
