Costume Jewelry vs. Fine Jewelry – When to Choose Which?
Quick answer:
Fashion jewelry: seasonal, inexpensive, for trends. Fine jewelry (14K/18K gold, .925 silver): durable, hypoallergenic, pieces for decades. For everything with meaning: fine jewelry.
Fashion jewelry is worthwhile for seasonal trends and affordable fashion accents. Fine jewelry (real gold, silver) is worthwhile for everyday wear, meaningful gifts, and pieces intended to last for decades.
Fashion jewelry – when it makes sense
- Very low budget (under 30 Euros)
- Seasonal trends: wearable this summer, no longer next year
- Complementary pieces without emotional value
- Children's jewelry for rapid growth
Fine jewelry – when it's clearly better
- Everyday wear: real metal withstands sweat, water, and stress better
- Meaningful gifts (birthday, christening, wedding, anniversary)
- Pieces that children should inherit later
- Engraved pieces with personal significance
- Wearers with allergies

FAQ
At what price does it stop being fashion jewelry?
From the point of having a hallmark (925, 585, 750), it is fine jewelry – regardless of the price. 925 silver pieces starting from 30–50 Euros are already fine jewelry. At Corelune, everything is fine jewelry.
