TORY
The middle or the lower class yearned to have beautiful but
affordable jewellery, and this desire was realized on time. And it was
born with the machine-age or the industrial revolution. All this made
possible the production of carefully executed pieces of beautiful and
admired antique pieces.
Costume jewellery has been part of our
culture from the last 300 years. In 1700s cheap glass jewellery was
made. It was almost after a century, in the 1800s, costume jewellery
made of semi precious material came into the market. The practice of
using semi precious material made the jewellery available even for
common people as it was cheap, disposable and which could go with a
specific outfit.
