Costume jewelry, to me, means some base metal with some type of plastic or glass stones in it. I don't consider cubic zirconia to be costume at all. I have many pieces of the various brands of cz that are in silver and gold that are beautiful. I also have many pieces of costume jewelry too--there is a difference for sure. But anything that Nikki ,or really, most of those hosts --- from JTV says always makes me laugh-- over the top 3/4 of the time anyway---makes me shake my head. But---I have bought alot from them and mostly it is beautiful and at really decent prices--a few have been not so great--

@cheriere  no not a real organic stone, but I consider it a real lab grown stone.

years ago I worked with someone who's boyfriend was working in a lab in

Jersey where they were  growing " crystals" called cubic zirconia. ☺️

Yes, after I thought about it I consider them to be considered real jewelry too, especially since they're set in precious metals.😊❤️

@cheriere well your a real precious gem miss cheriere😊

since I only care aesthetically how it looks if someone asks

"is it real"? I reply with " well you're really looking at it aren’t you?"

That's a great reply!😂. I wish I'd thought of that...I'll probably steal it to use in the future!  I hope you don't mind.❤️

@wagirl ha yes I hear you about their over the top delivery. Nikk & Misty both get on my nerves a bit but I know they are very popular.

 

I watch the shopping chanels since tthey don't have commercials or political commentary!
