Everything you need to know about intimate jewelry and its types

Bijouterie jewelry are accessories made from a variety of artificial materials. It is also known as 'costume jewelry', perhaps because this is the type of jewelry that allows people to experiment with different styles and trends in the most affordable way.

The expensive raw materials used to make 'real' intimate jewelry increase the cost of the same, and that means that such pieces cannot be bought at the beginning of every new season without burning a hole in the pocket. With imitation jewelry, experimenting with a variety of designs and styles is possible. This makes it a coveted fashion item in every wardrobe.

The Value of Time

As mentioned earlier, handmade jewelry, since there are no machines, takes an incredible amount of time to create just one piece. As a designer myself, I know that I often spend hours designing a single piece of jewelry for a client. The time required to make the piece can often take weeks.

CATEGORIES OF JEWELRY

Artificial Jewelry:

This type of jewelry is made with precision and craftsmanship and requires a lot of hard work. Making a single piece of artificial jewelry can take several months and is more expensive than regular imitation jewelry.

This jewelry is made specifically for wearable purposes. It is made solely with the art in mind and is not intended for any specific audience or for sale purposes. This jewelry is essentially worn by museums, art galleries, or collectors.

Artisan Jewelry:

This jewelry is made for the purpose of wearability. The artisan understands what can be worn and creates the jewelry in that way. However, the craftsmanship on the pieces of jewelry always speaks for itself.

This jewelry is sold at craft fairs, events, or e-commerce portals or on company's personal websites to specific target groups.

Fashion Jewelry

As explained above, it is solely meant for the purpose of wearability and is sold to a wide audience. This does not mean junk jewelry, rather it is a pure substitute for real jewelry available at very affordable prices. Base metals such as copper, silver, platinum, brass, etc. are used for its production.

Fine Jewelry

This jewelry is made from precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, etc. It also encompasses gemstones like rubies, kundan, polki, vilandi, etc. This jewelry is preferred by people from the upper class as it is hardly more expensive than fashion jewelry.

Vintage Jewelry

Vintage is the jewelry that is 50 to 100 years old. These jewelry designs can and are incorporated into fashion to create a unique, classic, and creative fashion statement. They add a special flair to their outfit and can easily be combined with the latest or hottest trends.

Trendsetters are always and will always be the celebrities. The celebrities have sparked a huge revolution that meant a U-turn for the common people who turned to wearing fashion jewelry even at weddings. The jewelry they wear at parties, weddings, model shoots, nightclubs, etc. are available as replicas in fashion jewelry online stores.

Jewelry worn by celebrities becomes a style statement and people want to follow them. However, it is not just the Bollywood people considered as celebrities. Also, the influencers on Instagram and Facebook have become celebrities. People follow the trends and style statements made by them. Social media influencers are booming these days.

You will also find stunning pearl jewelry made from cultured or imitation pearls in a burst of elegant and artistic designs. Subdued pieces like pendants, pearl necklaces, and bracelets add a touch of style to casual looks. The artificial jewelry designs include Indian motifs like fruits and flowers as well as Victorian cameos in Western style or simple pearls.

Buying Indian fancy jewelry online is also a smart idea. All classic styles and traditional designs can be turned into artificial pieces that look beautiful. This includes heavy pieces like Kundan, Thewa, Meenakari, and Polki jewelry as well as lattice gold pieces with rhinestones. More modern jewelry pieces with ethnic designs are also available, including pretty pendants, bracelets, and earrings.
