Remember....Not all that glitters is gold..... You’ve probably heard the terms “fine jewelry” and “fashion jewelry” before, but do you know the difference? After all, fine jewelry is part of “fashion,” isn’t it? Here’s a simple guide to the differences between these two types of jewelry. What is Fashion Jewelry? "Fashion jewelry” refers to any jewelry that is not made from precious metals. Fashion

jewelry is sometimes called “costume jewelry,” and is often made from base metals, such as brass, copper, or aluminum. Fashion jewelry can also be made with textiles or leather, or base metals that are plated with precious metals. If a piece of fashion jewelry is made with a gemstone, it is almost always simulated, which means the “gemstone” might be plastic, glass, or crystal (among others). Fashion jewelry is created to be very inexpensive. The metals used in fashion jewelry cannot withstand heat, so when these items break, they cannot be fixed. What is Fine Jewelry? The term “fine jewelry” is used for any jewelry that is made from precious metals such as gold, silver, or platinum. Fine jewelry typically uses genuine gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Fine jewelry is durable and made to last. As a result, it can be worn every day.

John Lewis: Nashville Sit-Ins

John Lewis was among a group of Black students who participated in a series of sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee during 1960, long before he was injured on Bloody Sunday in Selma. It was during the early civil rights protests in Nashville that Lewis was arrested for the first time. Thus began his long and storied civil disobedience career that started with “good trouble” in the pursuit for racial equality and ending with a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"If it hadn't been for Nashville, I would not be the person I am now," U.S. Rep. John Lewis said in Washington in 2013.

Claudette Colvin: Montgomery Buses

In 1955, several months before Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus, Claudette Colvin also refused to give up her seat. The 15-year-old high schooler was a passenger on the same Montgomery, Alabama bus system that Rosa Parks later challenged, though this is among relatively unknown Black history facts. Colvin was arrested and went on to become a plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, which led to the bus system’s policy of segregation to be unconstitutional.
