The difference between Fine Fashion Jewelry and Fine Jewelry




Fine Fashion Jewelry, sometimes referred to as bridge jewelry, is the perfect compromise between fine jewelry and costume jewelry. Costume jewelry tends to be cheaply made and costs very little. There are no guarantees or warranties with costume jewelry and you never know what materials you are getting. Fine Fashion Jewelry is usually plated with silver or rhodium or gold and most direct sales companies offer some sort of guarantee on their jewelry. The base metals are a lot better quality resulting in less reaction to the jewelry, such as turning green.

With Latasia, our jewelry is all nickel free. That's a major plus because nickel is what causes 99% of allergies to jewelry. Fine Fashion jewelry also employs the use of some genuine stones and semi-precious stones. The cost is a little more than costume but ALOT less than fine jewelry.
Fine jewelry is various degrees of silver/gold jewelry with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires. This jewelry is gorgeous and genuine. If you buy at a retail chain store you may get some sort of guarantee.
Which would you rather buy: A simple chain and pendant with all the "real" stuff for hundreds of dollars? Or a stunning necklace with lots of personality that costs around $35 and backed by a lifetime guarantee? Fine Fashion jewelry offers trendy, funky, classic and elegant pieces. Everyone can find something they like and be able to afford several pieces at one time instead of having to save hundreds or thousands of dollars or even have to finance the same look in fine jewelry.
Personally, I prefer an abundance to choose from! I'm all for quality AND affordability! If you've never looked into fine fashion jewelry, you should! It's a lot of fun and very affordable!!
