A normal-artificial set can be made of silver, 18 carat gold or of brass, copper, 2 per cent silver, semi-precious and artificial stones.


Additionally, there are-varieties even in artificial jewelry. Those sets that are heavy are cheaper while those that are lighter in weight are expensive. Usually imported sets are more-expensive than local ones.
