Costume Jewelry Kids And Fashion Jewelry

You try on all of her jewelry at once. Then for the makeup. She has at least ten different shades of lipstick so you try on one at a time, each time wiping the previous coat off. Then there is blush and a huge brush you use to apply it. Then all sorts of colors of eye shadow. You have fun just examining the different colors and making different color combinations as if you are preparing to paint a painting.

Imagine you are five years old and you just adore your mother. You go with her everywhere. You go with her to the supermarket, mall, gym, and just to run day to day errands. It is like Disneyland every day of your life. If your mother is like your queen, imagine if you had access to the most valuable room in her castle...the closet. Your mother's closet is just a great treasure box ready to be opened.

In that treasure box you find an endless amount of shoes. You try on each pair of shoes and walk around as if they really fit you and you really look good in them. Meanwhile you are tripping every step that you take. Then you find her cardigans but they are very high for you to reach. So you stack up some boxes high up so you can take them down off of the hangers. You try on each cardigan your mother owns. She probably owns about twenty so this may take a long time.

Then to the pants and skirts. There are also many of these. So you try on each pair one at a time. When you are getting tired, you realize there is so much more to be done. You still have yet to crack the jewelry box and makeup. Your mother has a fancy jewelry box filled with all sorts of glittering treasures. As you start to think about what you will try on first, you notice some big sunglasses next to the mirror and a wide brimmed hat. So you try those on too. There are diamond earrings in her jewelry box, pearl necklaces, emeralds, and rubies. All sorts of precious stones and silver and gold you take notice of.

When you were a kid, did you like to try on all of your mother's fashion jewelry and costume jewelry? I think every young girl did this at least once in their childhood. It could be a fun experience invading your mother's closet and trying on all of her clothes, shoes, jewelry, and makeup. Especially if she has a big closet, the adventures could be endless.

Raiding your mother's closet is just about one of the most fun things a young girl could do with her free time. Your mother's fashion jewelry and costume jewelry are like buried treasures and a young girl could spend hours or even days examining these precious jewels. All of her diamonds and pearls and precious stones seem so precious to a young girl.

Tiffany Jewelry Most Desired Designer Jewelry

Published at Sooper Articles

These very features - quality craftsmanship and unique design- have caused Tiffany products to be copied worldwide. This company's jewelry is, in the minds of many, the ultimate possession among designer jewelry. However, those who could not afford a Tiffany original often turn to the reasonable price of a well-made copy. While this is certainly a compromise, people around the world often wear a Tiffany imitation for an entire evening and others are none the wiser.

Tiffany jewelry was first offered in the 1840s, not long after the Tiffany & Young store opened in New York. Silver-based jewelry, dressing table sets and gift items have attracted customers from the start because of the designs and because of the amazing workmanship. Demand for Tiffany jewelry was very high in the 1800s and remains so in the 21st century, even with the rather high initial cost of most pieces.

There are more affordable alternatives for those whose budget won't allow them to purchase an original from the New York company. Many replicas and imitations of Tiffany jewelry are, in fact, well-made and quite attractive. It would unfair to call them "cheap" because these copies are quite desirable among many jewelry wearers. "Inexpensive" might be a better label. In addition, women buy silver Tiffany jewelry as a "substitute" for the higher-priced diamond jewelry items from Tiffany. While even the Tiffany silver can be expensive, many of the pieces are within range for a larger section of the population.

Caution is the key when buying any jewelry however, because even the lower-priced silver Tiffany pieces have been copied and imitated. Those who want to display "Tiffany" but cannot afford the top-line platinum, gold and diamond pieces should take care when purchasing silver jewelry advertised as Tiffany pieces. The safest way to ensure that the item is truly a Tiffany product is to buy from the original source. Tiffany also has a Web site and the Blue book (published from the first year of jewelry offerings in 1845). The company's products are more widely available than ever.

The Tiffany name became so famous that a movie was made with the company's name in the title. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" featured top-name actors and indicated how well-known the company had become 100 years after its inception. Today, when most people think of the name "Tiffany's" the image of exquisite jewelry comes to mind. Add to this the fine gold and platinum items from the company studio and it is no surprise that someone might ask, "Is it Tiffany?"

This is true of jewelry from Tiffany & Co., the New York company founded 170 years ago by Charles Lewis Tiffany. In fact, some consider Tiffany to be the best example of quality and desirability in the world of designer jewelry. Even with the long history of designer jewelry, reaching back centuries, Tiffany & Co. pieces stand out among the best among fine jewelry manufacturers and artists.

Many people are perfectly happy buying custom jewelry from one of the fine, lesser-known craftsmen working around the world. Many of the quality items produced in these shops and studios is as well-made and beautiful as some of the products from more famous names. But there is something special about owning original designer jewelry that has created a following, a culture, unlike any other.
