Brown Fashion has a great sense of play and festivity with their overly large, but exceptionally cute costume jewelry.

And that is what costume jewelry is all about. You played with your mother’s old costume jewelry while you were growing up, but now you can collect your own. Start by browsing through our online jewelry auction.

Yes indeed, there are many,many real gemstones in there but we have the fun and fabulous pieces too. And remember, your daughter may one day walk in with bright eyes and a big grin wearing the jewelry that you pick today. And that is part of jewelry’s charm, sharing it with those we love.

It is rather ironic that Prohibition would result in a fashion jewelry style known as the “cocktail ring”, but that is how the trend to wear an over sized bauble on your fingers emerged. The wearer of a cocktail ring was signalling that they were not only fashion conscious but that they were willing to flaunt the law as well.

Cocktail parties were more common in the forties and fifties than they are now and the flashy brilliance of an over sized cocktail ring became a fashion staple. Today’s cocktail ring is less likely to contain genuine jewels but is instead usually a faux stone creation.

Cocktail rings today are meant to be over sized and outlandish and can be just the right touch of playful bling with any casual outfit. A glance through our online auction will give you a great selection of playful bling to choose from for great summer fashion fun.
