Strass Sapphire

Strass Sapphire

No one watches a film solely to look at what the celebrities are wearing on their fingers or around their necks, unless, of course, their job is to create or recreate such jewellery - and there are people who do just that for a living. Faux jewellery, made for the stars, is in big demand after every new movie release and sets of it are recreated by suppliers such as Emitations and sold at non-celebrity prices to the devotees. So if I wanted, for example, a copy of the famous ruby necklace worn by Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman', that's the place I would go to find it and it would only set me back $415.00. Julia Roberts eat your heart out!

Faux jewelry is big business in this cult-of-celebrity climate. TV, newspapers and magazines bring the stars into our homes and make us feel intimately acquainted with them, feeding our aspirations to be like them or look like them in order to lead their ultra-glamorous lives. We can get carried away, but if we keep our feet firmly on the ground, we can have a bit of fun with imitations from the high street without doing any damage to our bank balance.

There is nothing new about fake jewelry. It used to be called paste and was first made in the seventeenth century to satisfy excessive fashion demands for pearls, which were considered more precious than any other gemstone at the time. Jaquin of Paris filled hollow glass balls with ground fish scales and wax to create these realistic fakes and so successful was this method that Paris became the centre of production for fake pearls for the next 200 years. In the 1700s George Strass became the most famous craftsman for paste jewelry in the world and by 1760 fake jewelry was being widely produced in England.

Thanks to cheaply produced man-made materials like cubic zirconium, faux jewelry can cost next to nothing to make, while it can look like a million dollars. A highly convincing faux gold cocktail ring with diamond swirls or clusters can be yours for around $20.00, whereas if you want the real thing, genuine 18 K gold and real diamonds well, the sky is the limit with prices depending on the carat and quality of the diamonds. Certainly you ought not to expect to receive much change from $1000.00, though you could pay many thousands more.

To dress up your gown for that special evening out, black crystal looks very dramatic and is extremely popular at the moment with all ages. If you saw the movie 'Twilight' you might remember how dramatic Bella's black stud earrings were. Black crystal earrings, whether dangling or studs always make a powerful statement for evening wear, especially when the crystal is contrasted with diamonds, real or fake. Bella's CZ studs can be bought from Emitations for $45.50, but prices begin far more modestly if you are willing to shop around.
