Vintage Costume Jewellery

What I really like about Alfies may be the huge amount of costume jewellery on provide you with. From all periods and spanning all cost ranges there is always anything that tiny bit tempting to attempt on and invest in!

Where the moment this mass developed Costume Jewellery was deemed inexpensive and worthless, it truly is now not simply collectable but worth far beyond its original price. Costume jewellery was originally developed as a disposable accessory to a specific garment, so the range of types and components can be a constant reflection on the changing fashion all through the 20th Century.

Vintage Costume Jewellery very first appeared early from the 20th Century in Europe and quickly the Americans dominated manufacturing from your 1920’s. Brands just like Weiss, Coro, Miraim Haskell and Trifari is usually discovered among the dealers vast collections at Alfies. During the war, when metal was in brief supply, silver became a much more economic material to use for jewellery, some thing which has added and enhanced the worth of these pieces now.

Coro is really a middle priced brand synonymous with authentic vintage Costume Jewellery Necklaces. Manufacturing stopped inside the 1980’s so the pieces in circulation are all collectables.

Costume jewellery was further created popular by designers for example Dior and Chanel and its use inside the Hollywood movie.
