With these uncertain times the unstable markets have pushed the price of gold to an all-time high. Even though gold and silver is achieving high prices at auction at the moment don’t forget about the value of vintage costume jewellery, most people would think because its not gold then its worthless.
Costume jewellery or fashion jewellery as we know it today
was around from the Victorian times and was a result of the use of di erent and new and cheaper materials being invented like Bakelite, gold plating techniques, and the use of natural materials like amber and jet that could be foraged from coastal shores, however costume jewellery became popular in the 1920’s with the beginning of the Jazz era where ladies wanted to compliment their brightly coloured dresses with in-expensive jewellery this trend has continued to present day. What you need to look out for are items that are from speci c periods like Art Deco which would be brightly coloured and possibly angular and usually made of plastic, look for items
that are naturalistic in form and designs like leaves, animals and insects, items that represent a purpose for a place like kilt pins from Scotland and don’t forget all because there are no gold marks it doesn’t mean it’s not gold.
Most of us have some sort of old jewellery, coins and watches that have come from aunties or grannies house that are not to our taste or we think is worthless, we challenge you to bring them in for a free valuation and see if you are sitting on a small fortune.
