Schlock value

Article Abstract:

The author expresses her dislike for Imelda Marcos' jewelry collection put on sale with a price range of $20-$200. The jewelries are made from scrap and excess accessories, making them susceptible to tarnishing and disintegration. As an alternative, she encourages artists to design and create high-quality jewelries from carefully selected materials.

No foolin'

Article Abstract:

There are a lot of fake items in the jewelry industry. There are some dealers that try to pass something off for something that it is not. Chalcedony may be heat treated so that it may come in shades of yellow, azure blue and sea green, but as time passes the colors would start to fade and turn to grey within less than a year.
