What is the difference between jewellery and costume jewellery?

The materials used in jewellery are more noble and last for much longer. It is fairly common to find pieces that have belonged to successive generations.

Costume jewellery is much more vulnerable to time; for instance, it can easily loose its original colour. It is an option oriented to a much shorter timeframe, leading to greater waste.
