What's Different Between Imitation Jewellery & Artificial Jewellery?

In modern fashion jewelry, rather often guaranteeing completion of the attire and add brilliancy to one's elegance, presents itself as an integral component to any outfit. Although high-priced precious gold and silver jewellery might be out of reach for many, imitation and artificial jewellery could provide much cheaper alternatives without stealing its aesthetic grandeur away.

However, what is the difference between imitation and artificial jewellery? These two terms are commonly used interchangeably, although they mean different things with important variations in their specific attributes.

In this guide to imitation vs artificial jewellery, we will address the difference between the two, as well as how to choose those that suit you best based on various characteristics, especially while shopping for authentic brands in Ahmedabad or online from a trusted brand, such as Purn Jewels. 

Imitation Jewellery

Imitation jewelry is jewelry made to resemble or layout as closely as possible high-end, traditional jewelry, but is made from non-valuable materials. The intention is to recreate real jewelry, often in high-quality metals, glass stones, or even cubic zirconia mimicking precious gemstones and metals.

Main Features of Imitation Jewelry

• Material and Craftsmanship: Imitation jewelry design often uses metals such as brass, copper, or alloys, mixed with, and sometimes coated with, gold or silver for a more realistic gleam. Whereas the stones employed can be synthetic, such as cubic zirconia, which imitates the sparkle of natural diamonds.
  
  
• Quality of Looks: Imitation fashionable jewelry is highly finished and gives an extravagant look, even resembling real jewelry. It makes a perfect choice for special occasions, providing oneself a highly polished look without spending too much for the authentic piece.
  
  
• Durability: Imitation does not last as long as precious jewelry, yet imitates well since, with proper care, they will outlive artificial jewelry.
  
  
• Assortments in Designs: Imagination fashion jewelry comes in numerous designs. Brands like the Purn Jewels carry styles matching traditional, contemporary, and fusion taste; this makes it easy to find pieces that suit your aesthetic. 

Artificial Jewellery

In essence, artificial jewellery is ornamentally designed to meet the fashion requirements although not always in direct competition with high and traditional jewellery. Like Imitation jewellery, it is made from relatively affordable materials and does not usually imitate expensive metals or precious stones like imitation jewellery.

Main Features of Artificial Jewellery

• Materials Employed: Generally made of cheap materials such as plastics, beads, fabrics, and also a bit of inferior metals, the emphasis is usually on being eye-catching rather than on synching them with the real ones.
  
  
• Affordability: Artificial jewellery is usually quite cheap and widely available and enables a person to come up with new outfits using jewellery rather frequently without the threat of losing huge investments. Purn Jewels offers a variety of affordable collections ideal for this purpose.
  
  
• Design and Style: Designs of artificial jewellery are bold and bright, contrasting sharply when colors and shapes are concerned with most pieces being loud and expressive, not a great focus on copying the traditional designs. Whatever is 'trendy' and 'fun to wear' adorns itself whole.
  
  
• Life and Maintenance: As the materials used for making artificial jewellery are always of low quality, it is certainly, though generally, not so long-lived as imitation. Unique features allow artifice to last sure, not defining its real lifespan, but proper consideration enables it to survive. Artificial jewellery is to be kept safely away from perfumes and moisture.
