FIL: Isang uri ng alahas na yari sa huwad na ginto o iba pang materyales na ginagaya ang tunay na hiyas.
EN: Imitation jewelry
This is the bling-bling on a budget. The kind of accessory you buy in Divisoria that looks good from afar, but far from good. It's the 'gold' necklace that turns your neck green after a day at the beach. It's the physical manifestation of 'fake it 'til you make it.'
From Spanish 'oropel' (tinsel, brass foil).
Often used with a slightly derogatory or humorous tone to point out something fake or of low quality.
