Costume Question
Happy Halloween! I have a costume question, if you know the answer please leave a comment. Mrs. Theologian is an avid beader. You can see her work here. She resents people calling it "costume jewelry." Neither of us believe it is.
She uses real semi-precious stones and sterling silver; no plastic, no aluminum; nothing that would turn your skin green. I always thought costume jewelry was phony stuff, stones and chains trying to look like something they're not- hence "costume." I understand that smoky quartz and silver are no match against diamonds and 24 karat gold, but still....
So now my question, Is it costume jewelry or not?
