Does costume jewelry tarnish or turn skin green?

Quality vintage costume jewelry holds up well with care. Avoid water, lotions, and perfume; store pieces dry; and buff gently after wear.

How can I tell costume jewelry from fine jewelry?

Look for materials and hallmarks. Costume pieces often use plated metals, glass, or rhinestones; fine jewelry uses solid precious metals and gemstones. When in doubt, ask our team.

What is the price range for vintage costume jewelry?

Prices vary by maker, materials, condition, and rarity. Many pieces from the 1960s–1980s start around $40–$150, while signed or highly collectible designs (e.g., Weiss, Trifari, Miriam Haskell) can range from $200–$800 or more. Exceptional or rare pieces can reach into the thousands.
