Beautiful jewelry has adorned the heads, necks, fingers, toes and arms of women throughout the ages; from the golden scarabs of Egyptian royalty to beaded cheap custom necklaces on the elongated necks of African tribal women, to the flapper chic dames of the roaring twenties back to the fairytale kingdom princesses with glittering crowns of gold and silver...women have always had a love affair with pretty, shiny, dazzling jewels.

So exactly what is costume jewelry and why should you choose to buy your pieces through online wholesale costume jewelry suppliers rather than a retail shop? One obvious reason springs straight to mind; the inexpensive price tag! If you want to save a heap of cash on your next costume necklace with picture purchase; a costume jewelry wholesaler is the only way to go.

In order to define what costume jewelry actually is; it's easier to look at what it isn't. There are three basic categories that define jewelry. They are fine, bridge and costume.

Fine Jewelry: These are precious trinkets, initial rings[here], pendants, ear-rings and such that are made from precious metals like gold and platinum. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds or diamonds that will qualify the piece as 'fine'. Cartier is a good example of a classic fine jewelry designer.
