Is fashion jewelry real or fake?

1 Answer
Is fashion jewelry real or fake?
Fashion jewelry is generally fake, not real. By definition, fashion jewelry is jewelry designed to be affordable, so materials like glass, acrylic and economical metals usually go into its construction. However, fashion jewelry brands may still employ crafting techniques that lead to the manufacturing of well-made, durable pieces. Some brands may also offer special collections featuring real sterling silver or gold plating. Explore a large selection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
