- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Yes, some costume jewelry is worth money. Because costume jewelry doesn't often feature precious metals or genuine gemstones, its value usually comes from other aspects, such as the maker, style, type, condition and age. Vintage costume jewelry produced by Trifari, Chanel, Christian Dior, Miriam Haskell, Sarah Coventry and Kenneth Jay Lane are just some examples of pieces that may be sought after by collectors. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can be of assistance when determining how much your costume jewelry may be worth. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of costume jewelry.

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.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify vintage costume jewelry, you'll need to determine if your piece is between 20 and 99 years old. To do so, see if you can locate a maker's mark. You're most likely to find it in an inconspicuous area, such as an inner edge or a clasp. Using trusted online resources, search for the mark to learn who the maker is, then read more about it to get an idea of when it produced items similar to yours. Alternatively, you can consider having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help identify your costume jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a selection of vintage costume 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 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 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023What a cross in jewelry represents is largely a matter of individual interpretation. To many people, a cross symbolizes the Christian faith. However, people sometimes wear cross necklaces, earrings and other pieces of jewelry purely as a fashion statement with no deeper meaning. On 1stDibs, find a collection of cross jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is cross jewelry religious?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Whether cross jewelry is religious depends on the wearer's beliefs and intentions. For many people, the cross is a symbol of Christianity and wearing jewelry that features a cross is a sign of faith. However, crosses can also have a secular meaning. For example, cross necklaces and earrings are a staple of Goth-style fashion. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if Chanel costume jewelry is real, look at the maker's markings. The French luxury fashion house has changed its costume jewelry marks many times over the years. By comparing images of the marks found on authentic pieces produced around the same time as your jewelry shared on trusted online resources, you can spot inconsistencies in the wording, font and other characteristics that may indicate your item is a replica. Generally, Chanel hallmarks will be evenly spaced, properly aligned and deeply stamped onto the surface of jewelry. Shallow, poorly spaced or crooked markings usually indicate counterfeit jewelry. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can assist you with the authentication process. Find a range of Chanel jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Many different costume jewelry brands are worth money.

If you're interested in how much pieces in your own collection may be worth, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can be of assistance. Find a diverse assortment of costume jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023To know what costume jewelry is worth money, one option is to conduct some online research. You can read articles on trusted websites to find out what types of pieces and makers are highly sought after. Another approach is to peruse the sold sections of reputable online platforms to get a feel for the selling prices of different types of jewelry. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of jewelry from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if costume jewelry is real gold, try placing a magnet near it. Genuine gold isn't magnetic, so if you notice any attraction, the piece is unlikely to be solid gold. Hallmarks, such as 14K or 10K, can also help you identify gold jewelry. However, keep in mind that, by definition, costume jewelry is usually made out of inexpensive materials. As a result, most costume jewelry brands don't use real gold. If they do, the gold is most likely plated, meaning that the jewelry is predominantly a base metal to which a thin layer of gold gets applied as a finish. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can also help you determine if your jewelry is gold. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of gold jewelry.
