Costume jewelry has been part of culture for almost 300 years. During the 1700s cheap jewelry made with glass started getting made. After almost 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 the common people. But the real golden era for the costume jewelry started in 1930s when rhinestone became popular in the European market and costume jewelry using rhinestone as the material came in demand. Costume jewelry was further made popular by various designers in the mid 19th century.
