Costume Diamond Jewelry - Roaring Twenties and Contemporary Modern Period
Humans have hung necklaces around their necks and rings around their wrists since the beginning of history. Throughout the last hundred years or so, fashion and technology have combined to make some with the most beautiful costume diamond jewelry known to humankind.
Costume jewellery made over the last hundred many years is nearly as gorgeous and spectacular as genuine diamond jewelry created of precious metals like platinum, gold, and silver, and precious gemstones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. Costume jewellery has evolved through the many years, as may be seen by reviewing the background of this fashion tradition.
The 1920s and 1930s saw an era of Art Deco jewellery, featuring jet black stones, white platinum and silver metal, and symmetrical and geometric shapes. This period in costume jewelry is characterized by pendant necklaces, bangle bracelets, jeweled accessories like cigarette holders and pillboxes, and long, dangling earrings.
Plastic was king of costume diamond jewelry from about 1935 until well into the early 1950s. Indeed, plastic Bakelite bangle bracelets and Bakelite bead necklaces are sought following right now as collectible jewellery due to the fact of its vivid colors and timeless modern design sensibilities. This era saw plastics formed into fanciful shapes, like sunbursts, bows, daisies, horses, and ballerinas, often with twinkling rhinestones set into patterns on bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.
Costume jewellery created between about 1945 and 1960 was tailored and sophisticated. Refinements inside the jewelry in the 1940s and 1950s meant smaller pieces. Themed pieces became famous, like animal pins with Poodles and Scottish terriers. Christmas tree pins also enjoyed wonderful popularity, as did other themed jewelry for holidays like Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day.
Sparkle has usually been well-known on costume jewellery, with rhinestones and their descendants, cubic zirconium, often found embedded in rings and earrings. Nowadays, these kitschy pieces are highly sought following by collectors.
Mid-priced wristwatches are a fantastic example of a costume jewelry item which is very collectible and growing far more valuable with every single season. Look for chunky men's watches with brands like Bulova, Omega, Seiko, and Elgin.
The best place to discover these vintage jewelry pieces is on the secondhand market. On the web classified and auction websites like craigslist, eBay, and overstock provide many fun costume diamond jewelry pieces. A recent eBay search turned up 2,554 costume jewelry items for sale! Estate sales are also an excellent source of secondhand costume jewellery, as are antique floors and private sellers.

Best Gift For Your Husband On His Birthday
The fact is there can be endless gift ideas for your husband, obviously considering your budget. However, whatever gift you choose for your man, select wisely as this is the best way you can express how special he is to you.
"You don't marry someone you can live with; you marry the person who you cannot live without." This may be a simple line to many, but couples usually experience the deeper insight of this line when they are loved and adored by their partners. It then becomes impossible for them to live without each other. Have you ever wondered however, about what makes this happen? Just think about it and you will really find it too simple. Immense love, warmth, pampering, and a gift as a token of attachment from your beloved, does the trick.
This article is mainly for those women who want to surprise their husbands on their coming birthdays. Let's take a look at what you can present your husband to make him really happy.
Electronic Gadgets
This sounds like a great idea as men are known to be gadget freaks. So why not present him an upgraded version of iPod or tabs? It is likely he will love it. Gaming devices also constitute a brilliant idea as birthday gifts. You can also gift him a high-tech cellular phone or stylish laptop for his official use. Presenting him with a digital camcorder or camera will also make him happy.
Sports Gears
Finding your husband glued to the television set when the football game is on, is enough to say that he is a sports freak. So what could make him happier than giving him the jersey of his favorite team imprinted with the name of his football club. Another option will be a pair of sport shoes, which can be used by him every morning to jog. In addition, if your husband was previously attached to a sport, just ask him to rejoin that by presenting him with the latest gear available. This is likely to make him very happy.
Apparel
if you want your husband to look smart, elegant, admirable and handsome at his birthday party, just give him a pair of trendy shirts, trousers and tie from the world's best designers. It may be a little costly, but not as expensive as your husband's looks. You could also give him a trendy hooded jacket, t-shirts, jeans or other casual wear which he loves to wear for going out. For the party you can also give him a designer suit which may be costly but will surely enhance his personality.
Accessories
I would advise you to present him with a trendy designer watch. This is because it will make a good gift, and will gel well with the whole collection of formal outfits your husband has. Fashionable and trendy men's diamond watch, ceramic gold watch and ceramic steel watch are available these days which serve as wonderful gift options. Besides this, you can also present him with a gold bracelet, steel diamond bracelet, diamond ring, set of designer cufflinks etc.
There are several other items that you can add on; such as perfumes, toilette sets, shaving kits, photo frames, designer shoes, trendy backpacks, set of diamond studded pens etc. In all honesty the list is endless, if your budget allows. Get ready to surprise your husband on his next birthday.
