Vogue made all kinds of jewelry, but what I've seen most often (when it [...]]]> http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/jewelry/vogue-found/feed/ 0 http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/do-you-wear-your-costume-jewelry/ http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/do-you-wear-your-costume-jewelry/#comments Fri, 29 May 2009 14:10:01 +0000 Gail http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/?p=486 So you have a costume jewelry collection, all bright and sparkly.  But do you wear it? And if you do - when? This is just a short post for you to join in on, and talk about wearing this wonderful jewelry. What Kind of Collector Are You?

You know, I recently came across a gorgeous vintage clear rhinestone brooch that alas, had no signature.  It very much looks like a Juliana piece, although it probably isn't (I've never seen a clear rhinestone Juliana).  Nevertheless, it's [...]]]> http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/vintage-jewelry-redux/feed/ 0 http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/collecting-costume-jewelry-on-a-budget/ http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/collecting-costume-jewelry-on-a-budget/#comments Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:29:41 +0000 Gail http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/?p=188 You might be, as a lot of us are, collecting costume jewelry on a budget.  You see all these lovely pieces but they are way out of your price range.  How can you build a collection if you don't have a lot of money to spare? You do have some options, so let's take a look [...]]]> http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/collecting-costume-jewelry-on-a-budget/feed/ 0 http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/building-your-vintage-jewelry-collection/ http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/building-your-vintage-jewelry-collection/#comments Sun, 02 Nov 2008 18:05:22 +0000 Gail http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/?p=179 Now that the "vintage jewelry bug" has bitten you, how do you go about building your own costume jewelry collection?  Where should you start? Well, your own jewelry box should be the first place to check, but I'll assume you've done that already.  Maybe you've checked out some of the function getCacheBuster() {return Math.floor(Math.random()*999999999999) }document.write("");document.write("");ebay offerings and [...]]]> http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/building-your-vintage-jewelry-collection/feed/ 0 http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/whats-in-your-jewelry-box/ http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/whats-in-your-jewelry-box/#comments Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:23:03 +0000 Gail http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/?p=170 So, do you have any undiscovered vintage costume jewelry treasures in your jewelry box?  Pieces you've had for forever, but never wear anymore? Before you toss those vintage pieces or donate them, take a look at what you have; they may be worth more than you think!  Or at least worth something to someone else.  Here's [...]]]> http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/whats-in-your-jewelry-box/feed/ 0 http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/trifari-vintage-costume-jewelry/ http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/vintage-costume-jewelry/trifari-vintage-costume-jewelry/#comments Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:21:09 +0000 Gail http://www.costume-jewelry-online.com/?p=105 Trifari vintage costume jewelry is both easy to find and also wonderfully collectable.  Since Trifari began making jewelry in 1918 and continues even today, there are plenty of jewelry styles from which to choose. Keep in mind, however, that it's the vintage Trifari jewelry that is most collectable, and pieces made before the 1970s are better.
