Qingdao Jewelry and Jewelry Market Surpasses 100 Billion Yuan

The three major bases for costume jewelry (fashion jewelry) in China are Qingdao, Yiwu, and Shantou.
Qingdao's accessories mainly use base metals such as copper and iron, embellished with imitation stones, plastics, glass, and other materials, to produce "faux" jewelry.
Although there have been efforts to promote original designs, Qingdao's primary image remains that of affordable, replica, and counterfeit goods. After all, when easy money was available, nobody wanted to go after the hard-to-earn profits.
Qingdao's accessory industry exceeds 100 billion RMB in annual output every year.
