Vintage jewelry is any jewelry item that was made at least twenty years ago. When you are collecting vintage jewelry you need to be aware of the different time periods of vintage jewelry. When collecting vintage jewelry you should be able to tell the difference between high-end vintage jewelry and costume vintage jewelry. If you have vintage jewelry of the costume variety, it will be more common and less value. Most vintage costume jewelry is more for fun, but some can indeed be of value. Most of your value will come from the high-end vintage jewelry. Vintage jewelry can be crafted from plated metals, glass, imitation gemstones, rhinestones and even plastics such as Lucite. Again, some vintage costume jewelry items can be of significant worth. Some well-known names of vintage jewelry include Chanel, Trifari, Carnegie, and Haskell. Just because a vintage jewelry item is of one of the better-known designers doesn’t automatically make it valuable. With any other jewelry piece, the condition of the item directly correlates to its worth. Try and avoid by vintage jewelry that is cracked, broken, chipped, or tarnished beyond cleaning.
