Fashion jewellery has been used for adornment since ancient times, with evidence of early forms of jewellery dating back thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, jewellery crafted using gold, silver, and precious gems were often worn as a symbol of social status. The ancient Greeks also favoured fashion jewellery commonly made from pearls, amethysts, and emeralds.
Today, fashion jewellery is inspired by current trends and comes in a variety of colours, styles, and shapes. It is an inexpensive and popular choice for people who want to add some flare and glam to their outfits.

Questions About Fashion Jewellery?
What is fashion jewellery?
Fashion jewellery or costume jewellery tends to refer to jewellery that’s made from base metals or plated metals. These pieces might include brass, aluminium, and even textiles. Fashion jewellery tends to be cheaper and not as long lasting as luxury jewellery. These are pieces that are made to be enjoyed, and to complement an outfit for one or two occassions, but not necessarily items that will be cared for and treasured for years. At Secrets Shhh we do not sell fashion jewellery. Our jewellery is crafted in only the finest of precious metals and quality sterling silver. We do not plate our gold. Our Diamond Simulants possess the very finest grades of colour and clarity, and are cut to the most exacting proportions demanded by the diamond industry. This ensures they display maximum levels of fire, brilliance and sparkle.
How do you clean fashion jewellery?
This will depend on what your fashion jewellery consists of. If your piece features leather, feathers, or other soft textiles, you will want to avoid soaking or submerging it in water. If your jewellery is plated in gold or silver, take care when cleaning it that you don’t scrub the coating off. Avoid using any harsh chemicals, and wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Most fashion jewellery can be cleaned in a bowl of warm, soapy water. You can use a soft toothbrush or cotton bud to get a thorough clean, then rinse your pieces and dry with a soft cloth. If your jewellery includes faux gemstones of any kind, whether glass, plastic or another material, you should avoid soaking them for too long or making the water too warm as this can loosen the glue that holds the stones in place. Other at-home solutions include lemon juice, baking soda, or white vinegar and water.
Is there a difference between fine jewellery and fashion jewellery?
Fine jewellery is crafted from precious metals and gemstones. The quality, purity and value of these materials is important, as well as intricate details such as the specific cut and setting of the stones. Fine jewellery carries a sense of luxury, glamour, elegance and decadence. Fashion jewellery tends to be made from base metals, such as brass or copper. It can also incorporate textiles such as leather, and even glass or plastic. There is huge variety when it comes to fashion jewellery pieces as there are no set rules and expectations. Fashion jewellery is much more about self-expression and personal style than glamour and prestige, and anything goes! Fashion jewellery might be created as a more affordable imitation of fine jewellery, or as something altogether unique.
How long does fashion jewellery last?
Since fashion jewellery tends to utilise less hardy and durable materials, these pieces are not made to last as long as fine jewellery. Whereas a diamond ring can last a lifetime, a fashion ring might get scratched, bend out of shape or lose its metal plating over time. They can also be harder to fix if broken because an attempted repair might damage or weaken the materials further. The upside of fashion jewellery is that the cost reflects this – fashion jewellery is far cheaper than fine jewellery and is therefore easily replaced if lost or broken. Unlike fine jewellery items, fashion pieces don’t tend to have such a timeless appeal, or carry as much sentimentality for the wearer. Fashion trends come and go, and you can refresh your fashion jewellery collection as needed.
How should I store fashion jewellery?
As a general rule, you should store your fashion jewellery somewhere clean, dry and cool. Storing your pieces in an enclosed jewellery box or pouch can help to prevent them from oxidizing in the air and becoming discoloured. This is particularly important for gold-plated or silver-plated pieces, if you want them to look their best for longer. As fashion jewellery is less resilient than fine jewellery, and more prone to scratches, you may want to store your pieces in a soft-lined drawer or jewellery box, and in separate compartments or pouches so that the pieces don’t damage each other. On the other hand, fashion jewellery or costume jewellery is far less precious and valuable than luxury jewellery and many items are fine to be stored in the open air on a jewellery stand. The advantage of this is that you can see what you’ve got and select the right match for your outfit each day. With fashion jewellery being much more diverse and changeable than fine jewellery, it can be helpful to have your current rotation of fashion pieces on display and ready when you need them.
