How to differentiate between Good quality and Low quality imitation jewellery
Imitation jewelry refers to jewelry that is made from non-precious materials like base metals, glass, and plastic, and is designed to resemble high-end jewelry made from precious metals and gemstones. While it may seem that two pieces of imitation jewelry with the same design appear the same, there are several reasons why they might have quality differences.
Here are some tips to help differentiate between good quality and low-quality imitation jewellery:
-
Check the Material: Good quality imitation jewellery is often made with high-quality materials like brass or copper. Low-quality imitation jewellery may use cheaper materials that are prone to rust and discoloration.

-
Look for Finishing: Good quality Artificial jewellery has a smooth and polished finishing, whereas low-quality artificial jewellery may have rough edges, uneven plating or visible seams.For example in temple jewellery, the features of lakshmi or peacock will not be perfect in low quality jewellery.
-
Check the Stones: The stones used in good quality imitation jewellery are often of high quality and look more like real gems. They are cut and set in a way that gives them a natural appearance. On the other hand, low-quality imitation jewellery may have poorly cut or poorly set stones that look fake and are ready to fall off any time.
