Vintage Fashion Necklaces and Other Costume Jewelry

Find a broad range of eye-catching and unique vintage fashion necklaces in the collection of fashion jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.

From understated cords to chunky designer necklaces in the Art Deco style to the vibrant collars of the 1960s — when psychedelic-prints maestro Emilio Pucci commissioned Milanese fashion jewelry house Coppola e Toppo to create dramatic designs strung with Pop art–hued plastic beads — has costume jewelry’s clever marriage of base metals and imitation gems ever gone out of style?

For lovers of fashion or costume jewelry, which is typically designed to wear with current fashions and made of inexpensive materials, there has been no shortage of extraordinary necklace designs over the years from brands such as Trifari, Miriam Haskell and others.

In the 1980s, designers like Yves Saint Laurent looked to the flashy wartime-era fashion jewelry of the 1940s for inspiration when creating his statement-making necklaces of glass and rhinestones (the latter have defined glamour since as far back as the 13th century). Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel introduced her costume jewels in the 1920s, when the economy was roaring and fine jewelry was the main mode of adornment among her clients. Today, vintage Chanel necklaces from the brand’s fashion jewelry lines — glass and faux-pearl designs as well as gold pendant necklaces — are particularly popular.

On 1stDibs, find vintage drop necklaces, beaded necklaces and other costume jewelry today.
