The business and art of costume jewelry was born during the seventeenth century in France and England when the middle class could not afford the gold jewelry and precious stones, so these items was increasingly copied and their use extended also to the rich who for safety reasons preferred not to wear valuable jewelry. Also the contemporary production of charms for Pandora bracelets can be considered in all respects a residue and a modern reinterpretation of the work of the nineteenth century. The only decorative purposes of this type of jewels enabled them to express the need for women to acquire a personal identity and greatly stimulated the work of many costume jewelry suppliers. The jewelry murano glass and accessories created by skilled manufacturers since the seventeenth century and throughout the next period is still widespread and is now defined 'vintage'. Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel were fashion and costume jewelry makers, which in the twentieth century, embellished dresses with crystal and coloured glass jewels, as well as recently some Italian fashion designers have introduced this methodology by applying Pandora style beads on clothes. These renowned designers were well aware that the jewelry for every woman has always been traced to models of beauty and seduction and that every woman of the people aspired to wear the precious jewels of noble women.

The main characteristic of the costume jewellery is the value that it has acquired over time for oneness and uniqueness, with quality standards in the production not found in modern times and it has scored a particular moment in fashion, costume and design, influencing lifestyles, art and culture. The costume jewelry manufacturers produce Pandora Murano jewels made from artificial elements, nevertheless the glass jewelry designers create Pandora glass beads that show a peculiar and specific beauty which makes them objects of a higher level and therefore are produced in all countries. Nowadays it has developed into wholesale costume jewelry that is an industrial product, which must continually innovate to be successful, interpreting, but also influencing the public's taste. Wholesale glass jewelry and Costume jewelry has a very special market because there are no brands or fashions to follow or to buy, and the manufacturers of Pandora style bracelets are fully aware of that, on the contrary all creations are unique and who buys it does indeed stand for, to wear something that will not have anyone else. The art of costume jewelry manufacturers has been cultivated for so long as the only art of copy and has only recently been re-evaluated.
