At CONQUERing, the quality of our jewelry is always top of mind. As a small-business, we are dedicated to offering products that are durable, fashionable, and affordable.
To ensure that we are always offering the highest quality products at an affordable price, we are constantly conducting research on jewelry. We look at the type of jewelry other small businesses offer, as well as the type of jewelry that luxury jewelry brands offer.
This blog post is dedicated to the four different jewelry classifications. We want to be transparent about the type of jewelry we sell compared to other jewelry brands. In this post, we will explore:
- The four different types of jewelry classifications
- Why it's important to know how jewelry is classified
- What jewelry classification you can expect from CONQUERing
The Four Different Jewelry Classifications
Through our research, we've identified four different jewelry classifications. These classifications explain the quality of jewelry you're receiving, as well as the brands that sell jewelry in each classification.
This chart outlines what the four different classifications are, how durable and affordable each classification is, and what different brands are selling.
| Classification | Alternate Names | Materials | Durability | Affordability | Example Brands* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine Jewelry | Luxury Jewelry, High Jewelry | Solid gold (10K-24K), platinum, sterling silver, natural diamonds, precious gemstones | Highest | Lowest (Most Expensive) | Tiffany & Co., Cartier, James Avery |
| Bridge Jewelry | Demi-Fine, Affordable Luxury | Vermeil, gold-filled, PVD stainless steel, sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones | High | Medium |
Pandora, Bryan Anthonys, Mejuri, CONQUERing |
| Fashion Jewelry | Trend Jewelry, Everyday Jewelry | Rhodium or gold electroplating on brass/copper, stainless steel or gold electroplated stainless steel, synthetic stones | Medium | High | Kendra Scott, Brighton, Pura Vida, Alex & Ani |

As you can see, there are different reasons that a brand might decide to sell each classification of jewelry. We've bolded what our fidget jewelry is classified as. Later in this blog, we'll discuss why we chose that classification and how our satisfied our customers are with it.
Is Your Jewelry Built to Last, or Simply Built to Look Good?
Jewelry classification can help guide you as you get ready to purchase new jewelry. If you're buying jewelry for a Halloween costume or a stage production where the quality doesn't really matter, you'll want to search for a type of jewelry that isn't very expensive.
When you're getting ready to purchase jewelry that you plan to wear regularly, it's important you understand jewelry classifications so you don't end up wasting your money.
For jewelry that you want to wear daily, make sure you're taking durability into consideration. You don't want to have to replace earrings every couple of months or buy multiple new rings in a year.
If you're willing to pay high prices, definitely go for the fine jewelry classification. Brands that sell fine jewelry are producing luxury products that are meant to last a lifetime. An engagement ring would be a good example of jewelry that you'd want to ensure is classified as fine jewelry.
If you're looking for something more affordable, but still high quality, we recommend you stick to the bridge jewelry classification. While the jewelry might not be considered luxury, you're setting getting a product that's made well and will last a long time.
To ensure you're not wasting money, it's important to conduct research into the classification of the jewelry you're planning to buy.
What is CONQUERing Jewelry Classified As?
As we highlighted in the chart above, CONQUERing jewelry is classified as bridge jewelry. Bridge jewelry uses high-quality materials that are meant to last, while being offered at an affordable price.
In fact, if you compare our prices to the other brands that sell bridge jewelry, you're getting a really great deal with our fidget jewelry.
