It is an adornment that has genuine status and monetary value. More often than not, it is assembled by craftsmen well versed in the precision and skills of their trade. `Fine Jewellery’ is crafted from precious metals like gold, silver or platinum and usually of a karat greater than 14. Gemstones must bear all the characteristics and properties (that is visual, chemical and physical) typical of mined/natural stones. The term `Fine Jewellery’ includes bridal, dress and artist’s Jewellery though none of these can escape the characteristics listed above if they strive to be included under this banner.

Nowadays ‘Costume/Fashion Jewellery’ is both widely sold and heartily sought by the general public. In recent years there has been a rise in collectors of such trifles with prices increasing in accordance. Prices have grown considerable across the board for ‘Costume Jewellery’ as designers lend their names to such items to accompany their seasonal fashion creations. Often these prices rival those for ‘Fine Jewellery’ but as they have no intrinsic value their resale in most cases only represents a very small fraction of what was originally paid. ‘Costume Jewellery’ will have all the glitz and glamour of ‘Fine Jewellery’ but it is only wafer thin. Electroplated or plated over base metal with synthetic stones or pearls, sometimes a mixture of natural and lab-created gemstone, all go towards making the resale value of such pieces almost non-existent.
