Questions About Midcentury Costume Jewelry
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Costume jewelry is very desirable on the secondhand market. There are many collectible costume jewelry brands that are quite valuable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    To 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, 2023
    Vintage 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 ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Chanel 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 4, 2024
    To 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 ExpertFebruary 29, 2024
    You 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.

    Find vintage Chanel costume jewelry for sale on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Although 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 ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 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 ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    To 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 ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Many different costume jewelry brands are worth money. Along with the maker, factors that determine the value of costume jewelry include style, type, materials, age and condition. Some brands of costume jewelry that collectors tend to seek out include Trifari, Miriam Haskell, Schiaparelli, Coro, Weiss, Sarah Coventry, Kramer, Hobe, Kenneth Jay Lane, Chanel, Christian Dior and Vendome. 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 ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To 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.
