Imitation Jewelry Market Trends

• Rising price of gold is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for imitation jewelry is being driven by the rising price of gold and other precious pearls and materials. Imitation jewelry is defined as being constructed of inexpensive metals and gems.

Additionally, there are jewels like Lucite and rhinestones. The expense of purchasing gemstones, diamonds, and solid gold when it comes to matching jewelry pieces for various occasions and outfits is very high, thus buyers are turning to counterfeit jewelry to find a compromise between being fashionable and staying within their budgets. Imitation jewelry is a stunning piece of jewelry that is copied at a much lower price.

Additionally, over the course of the projected period, rising demand is expected to cause the worldwide market for imitation jewellery to grow fast.
