Costume Jewelry has been part of culture for nearly 300 years. During the 1700s cheap jewelry made with glass started to get the facts. After nearly a century in the 1800s costume jewelry made of semi precious material came into the market. The use of semi precious material made the jewelry available in the hands of common people.
But the real golden age for the costume jewelry started the mid-twentieth century. The new middle CLAS wanted to own beautiful jewelry, but affordable, and this desire was realized by his perfect timing: he came in the machine age and industrial revolution. All this has made possible the production of replicas carefully executed pieces beautiful heritage and admired
As the class structure in America changed, So Did measures of real wealth. Women in all social stations, the same woman Workers could have a small piece of costume jewelry.

Many feel that machine has ruined the beauty of costume jewelry, the truth is that the machine made fashion jewelry more affordable and allowed people to produce enough of these jewels to fuel the interest of millions of women around the world
Costume jewelry was also made popular by various designers in the mid-twentieth century. Some of the most notable names jewelry include both the high and low price brands: Crown Trifari, Dior, Chanel, Monet, Napier, Corocraft and Coventry.
A important factor in popularizing fashion jewelry is the Hollywood movie. The female stars of the 40s and 50s often wore and then approved the parts produced by a series of designers. If you admire a necklace worn by Bette Davis in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, you could buy a copy from Joseff of Hollywood, which was the original. Stars such as Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Russell appeared in advertisements for parts and availability of collections in stores like Woolworths has enabled ordinary women to own and wear such jewelry.
Coco Chanel popularized greatly the use of forged jewelry in her years as a fashion designer, wearing jewelry to life with gold and pearls false. Kenneth Jay Lane has been since the 1960s known for creating unique pieces for Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Vreeland and Audrey Hepburn. It is probably best known for his three strands fake pearl necklace worn by Barbara Bush at the inaugural ball of her husband.
