Unique Fashion Jewelry


Fashion jewelry today must satisfy at least two main criteria. First, the piece should be attractive and trendy. In this respect, wearing jewelry that is relatively uncommon becomes quite important. The second consideration is that it should be affordable. The copper pendant shown in the above photograph is a good example of trendy and popular costume jewelry. The focal stone is a polished cab of bright red coral stone. The stone is framed in an exquisite setting of pure copper. The rose copper setting and the bright red stone work well together. This is a large pendant is approximately 1.5-in by 3-in. and quite affordable even in today’s difficult times. One unique fact about coral is that it is one of only two gems used in jewelry that are created by living creatures (the other being pearls). All other gems used in jewelry today are a result of geological processes that occurred over several million years on or below the crust of the earth.
