Artificial jewellery – often referred to as imitation, costume, or fashion jewellery – has revolutionized the way modern Indian women accessorize, especially for grand occasions like weddings. Far from being cheap substitutes, today's high-quality artificial jewellery pieces are masterworks of craftsmanship, designed to meticulously replicate the brilliance and luxury of genuine gold, diamonds, Kundan, and Polki. This evolution in quality is powered by superior materials like brass, copper, and specialized alloys, finished with high-micron gold or rhodium plating, and embedded with pristine American Diamonds (Zircon), high-grade glass stones, and semi-precious gems.
