Costume jewelry

Costume jewelry is jewelry that is made of less valuable materials, including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones, in place of more valuable materials such as precious metals and gems. These items are usually, but not always, inexpensive, and often flashy.

Costume jewelry gets its name from its use in stage costumes.

Pennino Brothers Jewelry is one rare, but well known brand of costume jewelry.
