plastic jewelry

Faux gems, affordable

Plastic jewelry refers to ornamental accessories—earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings—made from synthetic polymers rather than precious metals or gemstones.

The term often carries connotations of cheapness or disposability: She wore colorful plastic jewelry from the dollar store.

Plastic jewelry can also evoke specific eras, particularly the bold costume pieces of the 1960s or the neon accessories of the 1980s.
