When you go to EBay and want to find some lovely jewelry to buy, you will find two subcategories under category Jewelry & Watches: Fashion Jewelry and Fine Jewelry.
So what is the difference between fashion jewelry and find jewelry?
The answer is Materials. Fashion jewelry and find jewelry are made of different materials, and this is the biggest difference between fine jewelry and fashion jewelry.
Generally, Fashion jewelry is made of almost anything that can be turned into jewelry, such as wood, leather, fabric, glass, resin, copper, brass and plastic. Beads of every kind are a mainstay of fashion jewelry.
When it comes to fine jewelry, it is mainly made of precious metals -- gold, silver and platinum, and decorated with diamonds, pearls and the highest quality gemstones.
However, fashion jewelry can feature gemstones and some precious metals; for example, pewter and gold-plated items are popular in men's and women's jewelry. While fine jewelry can also feature other high-quality metals such as titanium and stainless steel, and some manmade materials such as glass and ceramic beads.
