Vintage Costume Jewelry is:

Fun - you can play dress up or incorporate into a modern wardrobe. It's always fun.

Quality - Many of the designers of Vintage Costume Jewelry started out as Fine Jewelers. Panetta was a master in Platinum and Alfred Philippe of Trifari had worked as Jeweler for Cartier.

Variety - There is a style for every mood and occasion, and many styles can be changed, parts can be added or taken away,. Coro Duettes are a perfect example of that. A pair of dress clips that becomes a brooch. How creative is that?

Green - If you like jewelry and live a green lifestyle, you can't go wrong with vintage jewels.

Price - although some rare pieces can go into thousands, there is no way you could by the quality, style, variety and design for the same price today.

Investment - if you know the trends you can make some pretty good investments, on occasion.

Antique Victorian Large Round Family Locket See details
Antique Victorian Large Round Family Locket
This is the most endearing locket I have come across so far. Besides the large size, the beautiful Victorian manufacturing and the extra long chain necklace, this locket has a very sweet message engraved in two sides, placed where it will be covered by photographs. It is difficult to read but I was determined and finally, here it is. On one side it reads "Presented by Harry Kohler, X-mas 2003" and on the other it reads "My Little Sailor, Dec 25, 1903". One can imagine it is the Christmas gift from husband to wife, and that the "Little Sailor" is the first born. Just so sweet, so romantic. The words are carefully inscribed with a sharp instrument.
