Stay with me!), we still observe the strictest distinctions. There is costume, which means not real gold! Not real stones! Just not real! And there is fine, whose very name whispers: Authentic!

And important because these pieces always retain at least some of their value, which is a comfort if you are the sort of fun person who lies awake at night, even\u2014especially?\u2014at holiday time, waiting for the ceiling to fall in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/23\/gift-in-article-banner2.jpg\" alt><\/p>\n<p>But wait, I can hear you saying just about now, isn\u2019t fine jewelry pretty pricey?
