So, this isn't fine jewelry?

or this?
http://www.americanpearl.com/mwss12.html ($88,000.00)
Or, even better, wouldn't you agree Queen Elizabeth II would not be wearing anything BUT Fine Jewelry?

There is plenty of high end, extremely fine quality jewelry designed by well know professional jewelers that doesnt contain gold or gemstones...
I'd have to argue that the "fine" in Fine Jewelry refers to the quality of said jewelry, not necessarily its content. You could have a plain old ordinary $150.00 14k gold necklace of a cheap factory made design and put that up against a carefully hand crafted $20,000.00 necklace which has less gold purity , but designed by a world reknowned jeweler.. Which one would you call Fine Jewelry? (especially if your "cheap" gold necklace kept falling apart or links breaking...)
