It's Costume "Jewelry Not Diamonds" That's a Girl's Best Friend Every woman likes to look like a million dollars, and for years, that meant having a budget that matched. But the ability to get affordable couture jewelry, whether it's for your wedding day or just for fun, is no longer a fairy tale.
Thanks to the availability of high-end, man-made stones, brides can look like movie stars on their wedding day. Since the quality level has improved so much in recent years, no one will guess the origins of the sparkling diamond earrings or lustrous pearls. Below are a few of our favorites.
Even celebrities love getting Hollywood-style glamour at affordable prices. As Franklin & Bash and former NYPD Blue star Garcelle Beauvais explained, For me, wearing costume jewelry is a no-brainer. These days, the costume jewels are just as beautifully crafted and sparkle sometimes even more than the real stuff, and if you happen to lose one it's OK.

Plus, there will be money left over to treat the bridal party to the perfect accents to their outfits for the special occasion.
