Ceramic costume jewelry
Costume jewelry is items that serve as fashion accessories, such as necklaces, earrings, rings, bags, glasses, and more.
Before we show some examples of ceramic costume jewelry here, you should first know the difference between costume jewelry and jewelry.
Jewelry is the aforementioned items that are made from expensive and delicate materials such as silver or gold and precious stones, while costume jewelry is all pieces made from less expensive but delicate materials such as porcelain, wires, fabrics, nylon, steel, and others materials are produced.
However, in fashion jewelry, one can also add materials used in jewelry to give them a touch of elegance and sophistication.
