Costume jewelry, trinkets, fashion jewelry, jewelry, fake jewelry, or fallalery is jewelry manufactured as ornamentation to complement a particular fashionable costume or garment as opposed to "real" (fine) jewelry which may be regarded primarily as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments.
The term costume jewelry dates back to the early 19th century. It reflects the use of the word "costume" to refer to what is now called an "outfit".
