What is the difference between fashion jewelry and fine jewelry ?

In the jewelry industry, according to the production process, material, output and other standards, jewelry can be roughly divided into three categories: high-end jewelry, Fine jewelry, and fashion jewelry.

Fine Jewelry

The premium of fine Jewelry characteristic is advanced in craftsmanship and gemstones ！

The Tiffany Premium fine Jewelry in the picture above is made of platinum and gold inlaid with aquamarine and diamonds.

High quality fine jewelry is handmade by craftsmen, which takes a long time, and the selected gemstones are scarce. The combination of the two determines that high-grade jewelry is often a unique jewelry work of art. It is often seen by collectors at the beginning of its birth, or later become a senior auction exhibition, which is a sign of the rich class enjoying the taste of life.

High quality jewelry, no matter the finished product or the production process, is a kind of enjoyment of beauty. From design, to production, to the final presentation, the original shiny gemstones become more artistic through the meticulous care of skilled craftsmen.This is the embodiment of the craftsman's spirit, but also the infinite pursuit of art.

Chopard launched a new season of high-grade jewelry series - "Exceptional Gemstones", which focuses on rare precious gems and highlights the natural beauty of each main stone through single main stone structure, colorful jewelry edging, diamond tassels and other designs. The new work is a collection of large grain gemstones from Colombia, Sri Lanka, Mozambique and other important places in the world, which is also the first heavy gem collection in the history of Chopard.

The gem bare stones to be inlaid in the "Exceptional Gemstones" include 33.26 carats of colorful yellow diamonds, 7.03 carats of Mozambique pigeon blood rubies, 21.04 carats of Kraserilanca unburned sapphires, 61.79 carats, 31.16 carats and 39.80 carats of Colombian emeralds, 26.44 carats of black opal, 13.5 carats of Madagascar pink sapphires, and 34.63 carats of Palaiba tourmaline.

In the ring works, we can see the design of the building with heart-shaped accessory stone, which makes us focus on the natural color of the main stone. The most ingenious 26.44t black opal ring is matched with titanium metal and color gems, and the bright color echoes opal's color change.

Fashion jewelry

Compared with high-grade jewelry, fashion jewelry is the most popular one. It is all made of precious metal, which can be mass produced and realized. It is small and exquisite, and is most suitable for daily wear. The unique design concept is not as hard to reach as the high-end jewelry, and it will not easily hit the model. It is the first choice for young white-collar workers.

Precious metals of real gold, silver and silver, natural gemstones with good quality, and unique design concept, are not as hard to reach as high-grade jewelry, nor easy to hit. Let the fashion jewelry have more market and can be realized more easily.

                                From Mikimoto

"Fashion Jewelry" mostly selects some common or not too high quality gemstones, such as pearls, diamonds (some small carat diamonds are not expensive), crystals, Shafule, etc. And the weight of gems is generally not large, mostly below 1 carat. These have greatly reduced the price of jewelry.

From BVLGARI

Although the style of "Fashion Jewelry" is simple, we can also see their independent original design style.

From TIFFANY&CO Tiffany

Today's fashion jewelry is often designed to be more ostentatious, which is a choice to adapt to fashion, mainly to match clothes. Modern, but due to the different styles of fashion jewelry, precious metals often cannot meet the requirements, so some gold-plated materials are popular, and even alloy is used to meet the needs of modeling. This kind of jewelry is low in value, but it is often closely related to famous clothes, so you can often see them in fashion shows or fashion magazines.

From  CHANEL

These necklaces, earrings and rings are very modern, which are most suitable for clothing matching. However, due to the different shapes of fashion jewelry, precious metals are often not enough, so some gold-plated materials are popular, and the value of value preservation and realization is not large.

Since "fashion jewelry" lies in fashion, let's ignore its value. After all, you can't compare the accessories of FMCG brands with high-grade fine jewelry.

My friends, do you understand the difference between today's popular science "Fashion Jewelry" and "Fine Jewelry"?
