Why do we love fashion jewelry?

 Fashion opal jewelry usually consists of three components:

1. Base alloy such as copper, nickel, aluminum, tin or a combination of metals that have been modified to match precious metals such as silver, gold, or platinum. This is accomplished in a variety of ways including:

· Tone: Have you ever heard of a fashion opal ring called a silver or gold tone? This means what the word means. Tone refers to the color of the metal only. Gold and silver tone jewelry is silver and gold in color but does not contain real gold or silver.

· Electroplating: This is probably the most common method. In this process electrical energy is used to insert a thin, thin layer about 2 inches (the smallest inch is half a million inches) on top of the composite metal dipped in a salt bath of precious metal to make. used to polish an object.

· Layering: This method also uses the electroplating process. However, the plate is immersed for a long time to form a thick layer of precious metal. Spreaded gold or silver contains approximately 20-50 inches of gold or silver. Although it does not sound so good. This thick layer results in a durable, long-lasting jewelry tree.

· Overlay: This method uses heat rather than electricity to combine the base of the metal with precious metals to form a new alloy. This creates a lasting bond between metals that creates jewelry that can last and last as long as it is real with proper care. Gold-encrusted jewelry is sometimes called gold filling. It is usually safer on sensitive skin than costume jewelry made in other ways.

· Technibond: This is considered one of the most desirable forms of gold polishing because it uses 40 inches of 14kt more gold than .925 silver than the standard basic alloy. It is the best of both worlds.

· Vermeil: This is at the top of the gold-plated line. This method uses about 100 inches of gold over .925 silver sterling and as you might expect and is less expensive. It may be beneficial for someone who wants something close to the real thing without having to pay a high price for solid gold.

2. Man-made gemstones such as cubic zirconia, crystals, rhinestone, glass, or epoxy are the second most common fashion jewelry. It is used to make imitative versions of gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Its glamorous design and affordable price tag allow for larger, shiny fashion pieces that attract instant attention. Colorful glass can also be used to mimic gems and imitation pearls. Rhinestone jewelry and crystal jewelry are also famous for their radiant appeal and color choices. Epoxy and acrylic plastics are commonly used to make inexpensive bead jewelry.

Although common fashion jewelry contains man-made gemstones sometimes natural crystals and gemstones such as pearls, topaz, black opal, amethyst, or peridot are used to give the impression of the finest jewelry.
