Costume rings

Costume rings are made from non-precious materials and often imitate jewellery that would be very expensive if made from precious materials. The relative low cost and short life span of costume rings mean that they are ideal as a fashion accessory and the design trends of these rings can follow that of the clothing industry closely. Often seen in this type of ring are Strass stones which approximate the sparkle of diamonds; jewellery featuring this type of embellishment is sometimes referred to as paste jewellery because of the paste-like consistency of the glass flint material that is used to give the "stones" their sparkle.
