"Hi! I'm Lindsay Colbus from Lindsay Colbus Accessories for Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to choose jewelry to go with your clothing. Okay first we are going to talk about trendy jewelry. Jewelry trendy is also known as fashion jewelry and this jewelry is normally coined as costume jewelry. What is costume jewelry? Costume jewelry is jewelry that is not necessarily expensive. That is what costume jewelry is and that is going to be our first category in jewelry that we cover. Then we are going to go over high end jewelry; diamonds, pearls, gem stones, whatever it may be. I am going to show you ways to incorporate both of these looks into your wardrobe. So first let's take a look at our costume jewelry. If you just scroll down right here on the table, get a good look, everything from this tray. You can see that we incorporate wood, plastic. Again, right here we have Flow Tortoise Shell made out of plastic and if you just keep scrolling, all of these pieces that you see have been made out of some sort of less expensive jewelry. It's not 14 karat gold. A lot of this is gold filled or gold plated and again, we have wood on the end. If you scroll up at the necklace that I am wearing, this is also a piece of costume jewelry. This is a Lindsay Colbus piece but this is a perfect necklace to show you that even though this isn't 14 karat gold, it really looks the part. It looks glamorous, it looks classy and it looks amazing. "
