Choosing fashion jewellery in Dubai for a wedding, reception or evening event begins with three things: the finish you prefer, the shape of the jewellery and how the piece sits with your outfit. A close-fitting cubic zirconia choker, a flowing Y-necklace set and a chunky pavé Cuban necklace make very different statements.
Luna Dura's Fashion Jewellery Collection brings together contemporary 18K gold-plated and rhodium-plated designs, cubic zirconia (CZ), coordinated occasion sets and a mother-of-pearl butterfly set. This guide explains how to choose among those actual designs. For product availability, sizes and current prices, use the individual product links or browse the collection.
These are plated fashion jewellery designs, not solid-gold or 925 sterling silver jewellery. The collection generally describes copper-base pieces; individual listings should be checked for their exact metal, finish and stones.
Gold-Plated or Rhodium-Plated Fashion Jewellery: Which Finish?
A gold-tone necklace can coordinate with warm-coloured accessories and evening fabrics, while a rhodium-plated finish creates a bright silver-tone look. Choose the finish that suits the outfit and other accessories, rather than assuming one is universally better. The current collection has designs in both finishes, including comparable floral, marquise and waterfall necklace sets.
18K gold-plated describes the surface finish; it does not mean the entire piece is 18K gold. Rhodium-plated does not by itself mean the underlying metal is sterling silver. Plating, base metals and stones are specified by product. A white stone labelled cubic zirconia is not a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond.
Choosing Plated Bridal Necklace and Earring Sets
For a bride, wedding guest, engagement celebration or formal dinner, matching necklace and earring sets provide a coordinated look without needing to match individual pieces separately. Luna Dura offers contemporary gold-plated necklace and earring sets and rhodium-finish CZ designs; these should not be confused with traditional solid-gold, Kundan or polki bridal jewellery.
Waterfall Y-necklace sets
A longer central drop draws attention down the neckline. Compare these matching mixed-cut CZ sets according to your preferred finish:
Marquise and halo teardrop sets
Leaf-like marquise shapes and halo-framed teardrops offer a more decorative necklace-and-earring silhouette:
Floral Y-drop sets
Floral clusters form a coordinated statement for receptions and evening dressing:
Colourful and mother-of-pearl coordinated designs
Not every occasion set has to be a white-stone bridal design. For colour, consider the 18K Gold-Plated Multicolored Layered Necklace & Dangle Earrings Set.
For a softer motif, the 18K Gold-Plated Mother of Pearl Butterfly Jewelry Set includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings, rather than only a necklace-and-earring pair.
Bridal Choker Necklace Styles: How to Choose the Fit
A bridal choker necklace sits closer to the neck than a longer pendant or Y-necklace. It can work with an open neckline when its shape and length are comfortable. Before ordering a gold-plated bridal choker or a white CZ tennis design, compare the actual listed length with a necklace you already wear. A product called a bridal choker is not necessarily a complete bridal jewellery set.
- Classic White CZ Tennis Choker — rhodium-plated tennis-style line, with multiple fit options; check the live size selector
- 18K Gold-Plated Pink Teardrop CZ Choker — pink-and-white teardrop detailing
- 18K Gold-Plated Pear-Cut Cubic Zirconia Choker — graduated pear-shaped CZ design
Searches for white-stone artificial jewellery can describe very different materials. The three designs above are specifically identified as CZ products; they are not natural-white-zircon, diamond or lab-grown-diamond chokers.
Rhodium-Plated CZ Tennis Jewellery
A tennis design creates a continuous or repeating line of stones. The collection includes both a short CZ tennis necklace and a 4 mm Rhodium-Plated Cubic Zirconia Tennis Bracelet. The bracelet is a separate item, not an included part of the choker. Check the bracelet fit and clasp details on its product page.
Pavé Cuban Necklaces: A Chunkier Statement
If you prefer a bolder necklace instead of a close-fitting bridal choker or coordinated set, consider a pavé Cuban-link design. The two current colour options are:
These are chunky plated fashion necklaces with pavé-style detailing, not solid-gold Cuban chains or 925 silver chain products.

Fashion Jewellery Prices and What Is Included
The 14-piece Fashion Jewellery Collection was listed between AED 193 and AED 765 at the time of this guide's review. Check the live collection for updated prices. Product names such as necklace set, tennis choker and bracelet are not interchangeable: inspect the individual listing to confirm whether you are buying one piece, a necklace-and-earring pair or a three-piece set.
If you searched for artificial jewellery online in Dubai or the UAE, the Fashion Jewellery Collection is the appropriate shopping destination. This page is a selection guide rather than a second product catalogue.
How to Care for Gold-Plated and Rhodium-Plated Jewellery
Plated jewellery can be affected by abrasion, moisture, perfume, lotions and cleaning chemicals. Put jewellery on after applying fragrance or skincare; remove it before swimming or showering; wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after use; and store designs separately to limit scratches and tangling. Do not assume all plated pieces are waterproof, solid gold or suitable for every metal sensitivity.

Choosing Fashion Jewellery — Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a choker or a Y-necklace for an evening outfit?
A choker creates a shorter line around the neck, while a Y-necklace has a central drop. Compare the neckline of your outfit and the listed measurements before selecting either style.
What is the difference between gold-plated and rhodium-plated fashion jewellery?
They describe different surface finishes: gold plating gives a gold-tone appearance and rhodium plating a bright silver-tone finish. Neither term alone identifies the underlying base metal; check each product specification.
Is the white stone in these fashion chokers a diamond?
The white tennis choker and the CZ chokers in this collection are identified as cubic zirconia designs, not natural or lab-grown diamond jewellery. Other pieces, such as the butterfly set, may also include mother-of-pearl.
Do bridal choker necklaces always come with matching earrings?
No. Some available products are standalone chokers, while others are matching necklace-and-earring sets. Confirm the included components on the exact product page.
Does the mother-of-pearl butterfly set include a bracelet?
Yes. The currently listed 18K gold-plated butterfly jewellery set includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings. Check the live listing for current availability and dimensions.
Is the tennis bracelet included with the CZ tennis choker?
No. Luna Dura lists its 4 mm rhodium-plated CZ tennis bracelet separately from the white CZ tennis choker. Each has its own product page.
How should I store plated cubic zirconia jewellery?
Keep plated jewellery dry, away from perfume and cleaning chemicals, and store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined compartment to reduce rubbing and scratches.
Can I see the fashion jewellery in Dubai before buying?
Luna Dura has a boutique at Al Durrah Tower, Shop 41, Mezzanine Floor, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. Contact the boutique first to confirm that the particular product you wish to see is available.
