Haute-Costume

September 21, 2011

With just 41 days until Halloween, I couldn’t think of a better time to blog about costume jewelry. Its evident the history of costume jewelry runs deep, deeper than I feel the need to delve into, but I will say that it dates way farther back than any Claires or Afterthoughs accessories. Trinkets, fashion jewelry, junk jewelry, fake jewelry, or fallalery-  All these terms seem to be synonymous with the reference to costume jewelry. And while there isn’t really anything one of kind or ever sustainable about it {typically thats what i look for in a peice of jewelry, that its not only 1-of-a-kind but that its a keeper and will last me} its use it meant to be specific to a particular outfit giving it an almost disposable quality. I’ve never really been keen to just throwing things away {disposing of ANY jewelry that is} so I tend to be a bit crafty while investing in my choice of Haute-Costume-Jewelry. Although I wouldn’t ever classify any of the following pieces as part of my fine jewelry or as a keepsake or even a collectable, they are part of my jewelry collection and that is something overall I consider to be sustainable.
