Vintage costume jewelry on our website will denote the period from the late
1920s to the early 1970s. Vintage costume jewelry was made mostly in base metals, though brass and sterling were also used. Sometimes a gold wash appeared over the base metals.

This jewelry was inexpensive to produce, however, the designs had an intrinsic beauty that made each piece unique and special. This jewelry grew out of the desire of the average person to have copies of real jewelry. Hollywood had a huge influence on people wanting look-alike copies of jewelry worn by screen idols. Vintage costume jewelry is a wearable art
and many of the pieces were made by famous designers and companies. Each item
reflects the historical period in which it was made. |
