| Fonctions : | From the estate of Herbert and Elsa Elwell who lived at 140 Flat St. Hamilton, Ontario. Costume jewelry (also called fashion jewelry or junk jewelry) is considered to be the first jewelry manufactured as ornamentation for the masses to complement a particular fashionable garment or costume. Costume jewelry came into being in the 1930s as a cheap, disposable accessory meant to be worn with a specific outfit. It was intended to be fashionable for a short period of time, outdate itself, and then be repurchased to fit with a new outfit or new fashion style. Its main use is in fashion, as opposed to real (fine) jewelry which may be regarded primarily as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments. Costume jewelry is made of less valuable materials including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones, in place of more valuable materials such as precious metals and gems.
