Questions About Vintage Jewelry Costume
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Vintage costume jewelry refers to costume jewelry that is 20 to 80 years old. Jewelry, costume or otherwise, that is 100 years old is referred to as antique. The big design fair in Paris in 1900 inspired jewelers to work with inexpensive materials, and Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and others helped popularize costume jewelry during the 1920s. The roots of costume jewelry, however, took shape at least as far back as the 18th century, when paste jewelry that featured hand-cut glass instead of gemstones first emerged. Shop a variety of vintage costume jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is costume jewelry valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Costume jewelry is very desirable on the secondhand market. There are many collectible costume jewelry brands that are quite valuable.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023To tell how old costume jewelry is, first look for identifying marks. You can then use trusted online resources to determine who made the piece. Once you know the maker, you can then research their designs to try and estimate the age. The best way to determine how old a piece of costume jewelry is would be to consult a knowledgeable appraiser or antique jewelry dealer for assistance with dating the accessory. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of vintage and antique jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chanel uses a variety of materials to produce costume jewelry. Most pieces are non-precious metals with resin, glass and crystal used in place of genuine pearls and gemstones. Some designs incorporate real leather or fabrics like velvet. You'll find a variety of Chanel jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Dior costume jewelry will tarnish over time if not properly taken care of. Be sure to avoid getting fragrances and creams on your jewelry, and clean your accessories every so often to help it last. Shop a collection of Dior jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Although costume jewelry is usually more affordable because many Chanel costume pieces have a timeless style as well as good craftsmanship, they hold their value and so can be sold at an expensive price.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 29, 2024You can buy Chanel costume jewelry directly from the brand’s official website as well as in its boutiques. See the site’s store locator in order to find the official Chanel boutique nearest you. You can also find Chanel products on offer at any of the luxury house’s authorized retailers as well as through resellers.
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel introduced her costume jewelry in the 1920s, when the economy was roaring and fine jewelry was the main mode of adornment among her clients. Fearless about giving offense, Chanel proclaimed, “I love fakes because I find such jewelry provocative, and I find it disgraceful to walk around with millions of dollars around your neck, just because you are rich.” Then, in 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, Chanel dramatically switched gears and designed her first and only diamond jewelry collection, Bijoux de Diamants.

On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of vintage jewelry from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023To tell if jewelry is vintage, first look for hallmarks that may indicate the maker.

You can use trusted online resources to research when the maker was active and producing pieces similar to yours to roughly estimate its age. Jewelry is vintage if it's between 20 and 99 years old, and antique if it is 100 years old or more.

Find a variety of Tiffany & Co. jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023The way to tell if vintage jewelry is real depends first on determining what you mean by "real." If you want to know if a piece is actually made by a particular brand or is a reproduction, you can consult trusted online resources to see what hallmarks and other details are present on genuine pieces. Then, you can examine your jewelry using these criteria. You can also find tests to determine whether precious metals and gemstones are real or not.

- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Many people would argue that vintage jewelry isn't making a comeback because it has never faded in popularity.
