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.
